My Mother, the Superhero!

First and foremost, I'd like to take this time to wish all of the mothers out there a "Happy Mother's Day!" Next, I want to apologize for my lack of blogging, this semester has been extremely demanding! Luckily I only have a week left, and then it'll be my summer break. Anyway, my real reason for making this post is to share my amazing mother with the world. 

My mom is the most awesome and strongest woman I know. I know everyone thinks that their mom is amazing, which I don't doubt, but because I've been so blessed to have this woman as my mother, I truly believe that my mom tops ALL moms! I can't even begin to explain all of the amazing things she's done (and is currently doing) for her family and others. There are so many things I learned from my mother in the past 22 years. Here are my top 22 things I've learned:
