I have never known how meaningless the three words “I love you” were when it came to love.
My mother was always a loving and caring person my entire life. She would help me like nobody else would. It was a Sunday afternoon at home. I was busy doing my homework, and my mom was minding her own business. I was really frustrated with the large amount of homework, and suddenly she asked me, “Do you want some pearl milk tea?”
“Umm… sure, mom.”
As she walked out the front door, I started wondering. Would I sacrifice my time to make someone else happy? Probably not. I possible wouldn’t even know that this person was sad. I thought of all the times I have helped to comfort other people when I was busy. None. Suddenly, I found out how much my mom loved me. It wasn’t done just by saying “I love you” or something, but by making the other person happy. I realized that nobody could replace that sort of relationship I had with my mom.
I felt very grateful when she came back. My mom definitely had a very busy day, but she was willing to spend those 5 minutes to cheer me up. The pearl milk tea tasted better than ever before. I realized what true love meant.

ReplyDeletei like the sentence-
"the pearl milk tea tasted better than ever before". shows how your perspective on your mom's love changed :)
i think the first three sentences in paragraph 2 sounds abit choppy. maybe you could change it to "my mother was always a loving and caring person in my life; she helped me like nobody else did. One sunday afternoon....[connect to sentence 4]"
i like how during the essay your perspective really changed, and you gave details about how it happened. great gob :D

ReplyDeletei like the line "My mom definitely had a very busy day, but she was willing to spend those 5 minutes to cheer me up." people your/my age at this time don't really appreciate/realize that.
by reading this essay, i realized that i have a lot to learn from you. The maturity level of yours is very high. People like me should stop arguing with parents. you are a good teacher :)
good inspiration.
Awww, this is such a cute story! Hardly anyone writes about love between family. Rather, they write about there relationship with his or her boy/girlfriend. And it's really interesting how you used 1 or 2 word sentences.
ReplyDeleteI like the very first sentence of your essay:"I have never known how meaningless the three words “I love you” were when it came to love." It really caught my attention.
One thing you could change is that maybe don't keep using "I..." in your second paragraph.
But overall, I really like yor essay, not one part is a bit boring. :D
