For Women's History Month, Let's Give The Moms A Shoutout, Too

Throughout history, women have made amazing impacts that have shaped the world. Whether it's making great innovations in science or fighting for equal rights, women have been at the forefront of inspiring change and creating a better world.

Marie Curie, a woman, founded the science of radioactivity and was the first person to win two Nobel Peace prizes. She pioneered a new direction in science.

Malala Yousafzai, a woman, actively fought for her right, and girls' rights to an education in her homeland of Pakistan. She started a revolution in her country, encouraging equal rights for men and women.

Harriet Tubman, a woman, safely rescued escaped slaves through the Underground Railroad. She risked her life to save the lives of so many, representing what true bravery is.

These women have revolutionized our lives and changed history for the better. March is Women's History Month and it's a celebration of all the great things women have accomplished throughout time, shedding a spotlight on just how vital women are. As Women's History Month comes to an end, I want to pay tribute to the most important and influential woman in my life: my mother.

My mother is one of the strongest women I know and I am so utterly grateful to have such an amazing and inspirational woman in my life. She immigrated to America and started a family here in a place so foreign and new to her. I can't even imagine going to another state and starting a new life there, let alone a new country. She has sacrificed everything in her life for the betterment of her children.

She's the most selfless person I know and I honestly owe her everything. She's my rock. She's someone who deserves so much more than what she has, and I hope I can give back even an ounce of what she's given me, but nothing can compare to how much a mother gives her child.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
