The last paragraph of my English paper about my mom:

 This is when I think about how my life would be if I had lost my mother years ago or just recently. The amounts of times I have come close to losing my mother have taught me not to take her for granted. She is the only parent I have, the only person I can trust, the only person who knows me. She is the mother I want to be. Never has she quit on us, even when times were hard. She has taught me this lesson, never be a quitter, it is always better to try and fail then to have never tried at all.  Everything about her is perfect, the scar on her arm to the scar on her abdomen to the scar lower right of her abdomen. This is what makes my mother stronger and this is what gives me hope.
