Motivational Monday #5

Hello,
This is this week's quote:

I believe this with all of my heart.  My mom and grandma (my mom's mom) were the strongest women I have ever know.  If I can be half as strong as they were, I would be happy to have achieved even that much.  My grandma was an orphan and became a "housegirl" for another family at the age of 8.  I remember her talking about how she would cook, clean, and take care of the kids.
I think I got my love for learning from her.  She embraced learning new things, figuring out how to do things on her own, and taught herself a lot.  

My mom became a widow at 42 and raised 7 girls all by herself.  She inspired us all to focus on school, graduate from college, and be successful in our work.  She only went up to elementary school, and I think she just wanted us to be able to do what she couldn't, and be able to enjoy life while we were young.  I admired her drive for life, how she always enjoyed lending a helping hand, and her love for her family.  I definitely got my love for cooking and my drive to help others whenever possible from my mom.
