(W) Talking abut persnal relatinships, well, I’d naturally think f my relatinship with my mther. Whenever I need help, my mther is always there fr me. She ften tells me that I can be anyne I want, as lng as I’m cnfident f myself. She sees my talent and pushes me t d the best I pssibly can. As I was grwing up, we were ften n the mve. I had t say that mving s ften made me feel lnely. But my mther did everything she culd t help me feel happy. In fact, s much traveling was really a gd thing because it made us clse. I respect my mther s much as she never treats me as a child, but as an equal. She allws me t make mistakes and t learn frm them all. Unlike friendships that can disappear, I knw I’ll always be cnnected t my mther n matter what I face. She is nt just a rle mdel, but smene I lve.
