Essay to be corrected by Mam Olive Leclair

I am proud of many things in my life, but nothing beats being a mother. Being a mother is a
responsibility and sacrifice. Responsibility because as a mother, you must take care of your child, provide for
their needs, make sure they are safe and away from illness. Because you no longer have time for yourself, I
cannot take a more extended bath every day; I lack sleep and rest, because what is essential to a mother is that
her child is well and comfortable.
Being a mother is a blessing that God has given us. When you see your baby happy, you are so glad
because their cute face relieves all your tiredness from daily activities.  Even though my appearance since I
became a mother had changed my life to be better when my daughter came. For me, she is my priority now. She
gave me a new life, and I am very thankful to God.
My daughter is my pleasure, strength, and treasure. When she first said the word "mama" to me, I felt
delighted. It sounds magic to my ear that is so sweet to listen. My daughter is my inspiration in life. I do not
regret becoming a mother at a young age because being a good mother is ageless. I will adequately raise
my child and teach them manners and values. I am a proud mother. I will give my child the best that I can do.
So being a mom is the best decision I made in my life.
