 "A mother's love is the most unconditional and the purest form of love." The
video presented to the class earlier emphasized how difficult a job of a mother is. The
people behind this video created a fake job, i.e., director of operations, and posted this
online and in newspapers. Then, they held actual interviews. While watching the video,
I thought that the job was absurd. It has extensive requirements such as working
standing up most of the time with a high level of stamina, no vacations, the increased
workload during holidays. When they revealed that this job exists and our mothers do
this, I was deeply moved. It made me emotional and stirred up my emotions as I
realized that it was true. Our mothers worked so hard for 365 days with no
breaks/vacation days and no pay. They stand up most of the time, are constantly on
their feet, only eat when they ensure that their family already ate, and they cook, handle
finances, and take care of children and partners.

The things mothers do for their children reflect a mother's love that does not
know limitations or boundaries, long nights, or exhausting days. The love of a mother
keeps on going unconditionally. It is always there to fill our hearts when we need it the
most. Unconditional love provides a dose of self-esteem that comes from the feeling of
deserving to be loved for who we are, not what we do. The dedication, selflessness,
and love we feel from our mothers as children help us grow into better human beings.
I slowly realized my mother was my best friend with our best interests at heart as I
grew up. My mom is the one I call for in triumph and sorrow. When I grew up, I realized
there is truth in the phrase, "Mom knows best." There are countless times in life when
I need my mother, and no one else can take her place. She gives us her time and
undivided attention. She gives up her privacy and alone time to make sure that we are
thriving. She gives up a carefree lifestyle to make sure we are fed, comforted, and
happy. She is the one beaming with pride, cheering from the sidelines when our dreams
become a reality. A mother's love is eternal self-sacrifice, loyalty, and commitment that
will live on in our hearts forever, shaping the next generation's character. A mother's
unconditional love has painted the canvas of our lives with gentle brushstrokes of
patience, sacrifice, and tenderness.

Of all the types of love, a mother's is the strongest. This love is unconditional
and eternal. Thus, we must always appreciate our mothers. They are the persons in life
we can always count on, gave us life, and made endless sacrifices just to provide for
our needs and see us smile. While they are alive, we must thank them and love them
unconditionally. We must shower them with love by saying special words and actions.
They deserve all the appreciation and love in the world.
