Inner beauty

Inner beauty

Today I asked my mom  " What do you think inner beauty is?"

My mom said, Inner beauty is respecting and helping others and overcoming oneself.

And I asked another question to her. "Mom, could you tell me about your challenges in your life?" She said “My challenges in my life were having a baby and a emotional recovery from losing my dad when I was 18.”

My mom told me that having a baby was a huge challenge for her, because she was a bit afraid of being a real MOM, even though to be a mom was exciting.

She eventually learnt that having a baby is challenging to all women and living as a mom is an excellent learning process. After 9 months, she delivered a healthy and bright baby; well, that’s me. She said it was the most proudest moment of her life.

She continued “I lost my dad when I was 18. My mom and I were so sad for a while. One day, I discovered I should be brave and happy for my mom and my brothers.” She said that one could be lonely and sad when he or she has a difficult time. But, if a someone who has a inner strength, then she/he could overcome the difficulty in a short period.

I have discovered once again that my mom is a very brave and generous woman. Because she had experienced many difficult times in her life and overcome the difficulties very wisely. During the interview, I thought to myself ’What should I do if I were being put into her situations?’. Isn’t she amazing? I absolutely admire my mom for her inner beauty and her inner strength.
