Dear Anita,

what a good idea!

I won an award once, and I have to do a speech. They asked me who my role model is or who inspires me. I said my mother, and I talked a lot about how my mother is the reason why I won the award because she has motivated me so much and has made me live up to my potential and make the most of myself. My mom was very happy about this.

My mom was happy when my dance team won a competition, she said that we did a very good job, and that it is good we had so much fun.

My mom gets happy when I make plans to go to peoples houses. Or I do things that make it easier for her, such as make sure that all of us hang out at my friends house, and we have a ride to get there, instead of burdening her with everyone over our house and her having to drive me somewhere. She doesn’t mind driving me places sometimes, but other times it is too much for her.She is happy when I have plans to occupy myself. She worries a lot that during summer vacation, it is so long, and I will get very lonely. She always talks about how our summer vacations are too long, and it is tough for parents to entertain their kids this whole time. She said that the mother should complain to the schools about having such a long vacation. So if I have good plans with friends during that time she is happy.
