The first thing that comes to mind when we think of an important person is either the Prime minister of the country or the President of the United States. It brings to mind an eminent person or a political leader. On further pondering, I realize that all the people whom we interact with every day, leave a trace in one’s mind, and influence some aspects of our personality. They are all important people and they are more important than a political figure or a leader because they are ones who know us and whom we mingle with. What is more, some people have such vivid characters, that just one meeting with them is enough to leave a strong impact. I have met many different and interesting people who have played important roles in helping me shape my personality and who have even caused significant changes in my life. For this reason, it is hard for me to choose a single person as an important person. I can think of one person, however, who has impacted my life in the most positive way - my mother. I choose to write about her not because I have lived with her all my life but because she is the most important person in my like.

One of the main characteristics that a person first notices in my mum is her unique sense of humor. Her patience never ceases to amaze me. In spite of the emotional and the financial problems, she never vented out her frustrations on her children or on anybody. Other than this, she became my best friend and managed to make me reconsider my values, the way I view myself, and the way I perceive life in general.

My mother is the closest person to me. We share a deep bond that makes me feel unique and important. Despite all the trouble that she has been through, she still manages to keep her feet on the ground and her head held high. She is always there when I need help, and I never hesitate to ask her for advice. She is a strong person, always patient and forgiving me, even when I know I don’t deserve it. She gives me a sense of security by showing me that she is always there. Even though we are miles and miles apart, she is always with me in my thoughts. I know that I am also always in her thoughts. I can call her up anytime whenever I need advice or help to find solutions to the toughest problems you can imagine.

She doesn’t need to tell me that she cares, I can understand her by the tone of her voice. A lot has happened between us over the years. We spent time together, and time apart. We feel closer now than ever, not by distance but by our hearts. Perhaps I grew up now and we understand each other better. There was a time in my life when my friends were most important to me. But now as I grew up, I realize that no one is more important than my mother, not even the Prime Minister of India or the President of the United States

Adios,
Ramki
