10 Reasons Why My Mom Is The Best
Jenni Stephenson

Throughout our years together, my mom and I have formed a close bond. I have learned a lot from her already, and I'm continuously learning through the examples she gives for me and my life. There are many reasons why I could say she's the best, but instead, here are the top ten reasons.

1. She's hard working.

Whether that's cleaning around the house, doing yard work, or offering to help others, there is always something to keep her busy and productive.

2. She somehow made sure she was always close by.

She often found a way to work at the same place I went to school, or similar. Including daycare, which started before I was in kindergarten, she has spent over nine years with me through her jobs. (I made note not to follow me to high school.) (Although it sure was helpful when I needed money.)

3. She's practically my own personal chauffeur.

Even if she didn't want to be. Sorry, mom.

4. She puts up with my busyness.

I could be sick and yet still find a way to be busy and out of the house. Sometimes my daily schedule can equate to having two or three children, and she's able to handle it. That in itself is amazing.

5. She's always someone I can rant or vent to.

You bet I'm telling her about that one time with that one thing that made me super frustrated.

6. She has time to listen to me go off on tangents while I'm ranting or venting.

Because I'm usually never able to talk about one specific thing without something else coming to mind that I also need to mention.

7. She's supportive.

From watching plays and musicals that I had little parts for in middle school, to making the drive to Lincoln to come see me play in CMB, she has never failed to show her support in what I do.

8. She's my reason for loving cats so much.

If we hadn't spontaneously gotten a kitten when I was in elementary school, I don't know where I would be right now when it comes to cats.

9. She's also a big reason why I want to be a teacher.

Growing up in classroom settings with her working in the same building has it's perks.

10. She never fails to show her love in whatever she does.

She works with a purpose, she does what she loves, and she always has a smile on her face that radiates with positivity. I only hope to be like that as well.

There are many things that show what a fantastic mother she is, and I'm glad she's a great role model for me. I know I don't say it enough, but I'm very appreciative of all that she has done, not just for me, but for everyone she impacts as well. I look forward to seeing what the future has in store for her.

Happy Mother's Day, mom! Love you!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
