SHE IS selfless and supportive. I love my mom and look up to her in so many ways. I admire her for all of her hard work and effort over the years as she helped to establish our family and life here, in the states. Coming to a new country from across the world is not easy at the age of 24. But she did it. As a teen, I may have not always understood her immigrant mentality and view point on daily things, but it was that same mentality that allowed her to begin her life here with our whole family; forming the roots in Cleveland that are growing and thriving to this day. Thank you mom, for all of your hard work; for your determination to come here and raise us in freedom; for your intelligence and your ability to study a new profession at the age of 40 and graduate from Physician Assistant school on the same day that I graduated from Pharmacy school. Thank you for choosing to attend my graduation instead of yours on that day. Thank you for always putting us first and for your endless support. I love you very much.
