A tribute speech to my mother
The choices people make have a defining impact on their lives and the lives of others. As an ancient Nobel Prize-winning novelist, Albert Camus once said, life is a sum of the choices we make. (Todd. 2015). The implication of this quote has been reflected vividly in the life of a person I know. She is the person whom I can attribute most of my accomplishments to her. She has been the pillar of my life, providing support, discipline, and happiness in my life and the lives of these around her. My mother has been the most optimistic, focused, and dedicated person. She has contributed to the happiness of many people, and she has always been ready to help in whatever way she could. This paper focuses on a tribute speech to my mother.
My mother is a source of support for many. The type of support is in all forms. She offers financial support, emotional support, as well as psychological support. Many people around usually come to her when they have disturbing issues, and she helps come them down. She has been the best companion to my Father so far. They have been married for over three decades. All through their marriage, they have been through many ups and downs, but she has always found a way to balance everything and offer emotional support to my Father. In a sense, my mother has been a best friend to many, including myself and other people around her.
My mother is very passionate about helping as much as she could. In our community, she has offered a mentorship program to many young people. She is ever passionate about helping young people because she believes that young people are the future leaders. She holds that society needs strong leaders, and the best way of cultivating strong leaders is by exposing them to morals and ethics from a very young age. At the same time, she has many mentorship programs, which are aimed at guiding young people into getting full scholarship learning programs. Apart from offering mentorship, my mother is very helpful in the community. She has undertaken several volunteer works with non-governmental activities, all aimed at improving the lifestyle of the people around her. Conclusively, my mother has had a passion for so many things, but helping others has been the most passionate hobby of hers.
My mother has had a thing for discipline. She is the one behind my strict morals, values, and principles. She cultivated virtues in me and made me learn the significance of respect for oneself and respect for others. She is a retired teacher who takes upon her free time to offer motivation to different groups of individuals. In her teaching days, she was hailed as one of the most strict yet affectionate disciplinarians. Her teachings still linger in my mind every day. In a sense, I believe that it is because of my mother’s strict upbringing that I am a person I am today.
To sum up, I believe my mother has a lot of impact on many people’s lives. She chose to be helpful in the community. As Albert said, we are a sum of our choices. I believe my mother is a cumulative element of all the choices she made. These choices have been helpful not only to her but also to other people around her. It is due to this reason that I take down a hearty tribute for my mother.
