There have been various amounts of people who have influenced me in my short life as of yet, but the one person who has inspired me the most has been my mother. I know that a lot of people would choose a parent just so that they would have something easy to write about, but in all reality she has been the most important person in my life.

My mother, along with my father, has raised me my entire life. She has been there for all of the ups and especially during the downs. My mother has always been tha one person I can look to in a time of need. She changed my diaper, she taught me about God, she has taught me right from wrong, and she has alway been there.

I know that there are also a lot of people who would choose a famous person that seems so perfect as their hero, but that's not me. I will never be able to call that famous when I need help, or tell them how I am doing in school. I'm not able to reach out to that famous person who I have absolutely no connection to, but I will always be able to do that with my mother. My mom comes to all of my football games and cheers me on, and is truly my number one fan. She will always influence me and be the one to pick me up when I am down.

! John 4:18 says, "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear." Perfect love casts out fear, and this is what my mom represents for me. When I am with my mom, I am not afraid because I know she loves me and that she always will. My mother is that one person who I can always count on, even though we may argue and disagree. I believe that even though we may not always see eye to eye, there is always that perfect love that will be there to hold us together.
