Carry On, Sister Warrior

My decision to become a nurse was greatly influenced by my beautiful mother. Over the years I have seen the compassion, warmth

She became my hero for she specks of who I want to be as a person, she guides you on this journey to understand who we are as a woman and truly validates you in nurturing your own physical and emotional health. I as every women has question my parenting style, my self-esteem, my role to everyone as they evolve and how I guide myself along, with my daughters.

These four amazing women changed my life. They saved me and they helped me push forward and find something in myself that helped me be something more than jus...

The Woman Warrior Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior discusses her and her mother Brave Orchid's relationship. On the surface, the two of them seem very different however when one looks below the surface they are very similar. An example of how they superficially seem different is the incident at the drug store when Kingston is mortified at what her mother makes her do. Yet, the ways that they act towards others and themselves exemplifies their similarities at a deeper level. Kingston gains many things from her mother and becomes who she is because of Brave Orchid, "Rather than denying or suppressing the deeply embedded ambivalence her mother arouses in her, Kingston unrelentingly evokes the powerful presence of her mother, arduously and often painfully exploring her difficulties in identifying with and yet separating from her" (Quinby, 136).

It is because of Ann that I am in the position of a figure skating instructor, today. She is an incredible person and her family history has given women a beautiful reputation. Women like Ann are what make the struggles that women went through in our history worthwhile.

After studying Carol Bartz I have learned many things such as determination. Bartz never gave up no matter what the circumstance was. She worked hard at everything she did and it paid off. What really made an impact on me was how she continued her life even after her mom died when she was so young. She did not let that get in the way of anything, nor did she use that as an excuse. Instead of using this tragedy as a setback, she became a stronger women that carried through the rest of her

My mother is the strongest woman I know, no matter what the situation is she always has held her head high. My mother has instilled in me that no matter what the situation is a can get through whatever is thrown my way. This has helped me more in my adult life than it did in my childhood because as a child I did not fully understand certain things that I understand now.
