This may sound cheesy, but I have the coolest and greatest mom in the whole world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\"\"<\/a>
\nWhat did you learn from your mother about being Taiwanese?<\/strong> (\u59b3\u5f9e\u59b3\u6bcd\u89aa\u90a3\u5152\u5b78\u5230\u751a\u9ebc\u662f\u4e00\u500b\u53f0\u7063\u4eba?)<\/em><\/p>\n

I learned that even though I wasn\u2019t born in Taiwan and I\u2019m still Taiwanese because it doesn\u2019t matter where you were born or raised being Taiwanese is what you feel inside and who you identify with.<\/p>\n

Tell us about one of your earliest memories of your mother. <\/strong>(\u59b3\u5c0d\u6bcd\u89aa\u6700\u65e9\u7684\u8a18\u61b6\u662f\u751a\u9ebc?)<\/em><\/p>\n

My earliest memory of my mother is of her being in the kitchen. My mom always made the best meals and I remember vividly of her packing bento lunches for my father every day when he used to do construction. Every day I would see my father leave for work with this orange bento bucket he would take with him.<\/p>\n

What is the most important thing you have learned from your mother?<\/strong> (\u59b3\u5f9e\u6bcd\u89aa\uff0f\u5973\u5152\u5b78\u5230\u7684\u6700\u91cd\u8981\u7684\u662f\u751a\u9ebc?)<\/em><\/p>\n

The most important thing I learned from my mother is the importance of hard work and to have a good work ethic. Since my mom had to work at such a young age she has taught my siblings and I that not everything is hand to you in life and hard work always pays off. She also taught us that being selfish doesn\u2019t get you far in life.<\/p>\n

Tell us about the ways that your mother makes you proud. <\/strong>(\u59b3\u6bcd\u89aa\uff0f\u5973\u5152\u8b93\u4f60\u611f\u5230\u9a55\u50b2\u7684\u662f\u751a\u9ebc?)<\/em><\/p>\n

My mother makes me proud because she came to the US with not much and barely speaking English, but now with hard work and dedication she is a successful business woman. Also she makes me proud because she\u2019s a giving person and always puts family first.<\/p>\n

Tell us about how your mother inspires you.<\/strong> (\u59b3\u7684\u6bcd\u89aa\uff0f\u5973\u5152\u5982\u4f55\u6fc0\u52f5\u59b3?)<\/em><\/p>\n

My mother inspires me because she had to work at a young age to help her family. Even though she didn\u2019t grow up with much she\u2019s always worked hard for what she has. Also she inspires me because when she first arrive to the US she was turned down from jobs because her English skills weren\u2019t that great, but she never gave up and worked hard to become the successful person she is today.<\/p>\n

As time has gone on, how has your relationship with your mother changed?<\/strong> (\u96a8\u8457\u5e74\u6b72\u7684\u589e\u9577\uff0c\u59b3\u5011\u6bcd\u5973\u95dc\u4fc2\u6709\u600e\u9ebc\u6a23\u7684\u8b8a\u5316?)<\/em><\/p>\n

I think over the years I understand my mother better. When I was younger I didn\u2019t understand why my mother worried so much about me, but as I got older I come to understand that she worried so much because she loves me so much and wants me to be safe. <\/p>\n

What is one thing that you would like your mother to know? <\/strong>(\u6709\u90a3\u4ef6\u4e8b\u662f\u59b3\u5e0c\u671b\u8b93\u59b3\u7684\u6bcd\u89aa\uff0f\u5973\u5152\u77e5\u9053\u7684?)<\/em><\/p>\n
