My mom is the most amazing woman in my life. My mother is extremely athletic, and plays softball and basketball in leagues with her friends. She was voted most athletic in high school and is still in great shape. She is a great cook and she always finds new recipes to make which end up being incredible. She takes my brother and me on fun trips, and puts a lot of thought into making days like our birthday’s amazing. My mom is a really smart woman who comes up with great solutions to problems that come our way. My mother attended UC Santa Barbara and is now working for Stanford. She treats everyone respectfully whether they deserve it or not, and is very kind. A great memory I have with her was at a hockey game when she was telling me about how her and her friend would make stupid jokes when they were my age. I remember being in a bad mood that day and when she started telling me her stories, I started to crack up.
