I like that I get along well with others, and that would not be possible without listening to and understanding the people I interact with. My mom builds lasting relationships with the people in her life by understanding their differences, and not being quick to judge. That has definitely been the key for me as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>As time has gone on, how has your relationship with your mother changed?<\/strong> <em>(\u96a8\u8457\u5e74\u6b72\u7684\u589e\u9577\uff0c\u59b3\u5011\u6bcd\u5973\u95dc\u4fc2\u6709\u600e\u9ebc\u6a23\u7684\u8b8a\u5316?)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As a kid, I took my mom for granted. Each day, she would braid my hair differently, cook three delicious meals, and sit next to me at the piano for hours. I never took the time to thank her for the things she did, nor did I realize I had anything to be thankful for. When she finally came back after moving out for a couple of years, I made sure I made the most of my second chance with her. Even though I am now busy with law school, we still talk almost every day. We can talk for hours about anything, everything, or nothing at all. But at the end of every phone call, I make sure to tell her, &#8220;I love you, mommy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is one thing that you would like your mother to know?<\/strong> <em>(\u6709\u90a3\u4ef6\u4e8b\u662f\u59b3\u5e0c\u671b\u8b93\u59b3\u7684\u6bcd\u89aa\uff0f\u5973\u5152\u77e5\u9053\u7684?)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I love her more than words can express.
