Today it’s a pleasure for me to talk about my favorite person in this world. She’s from Cap-Haitien, Haiti. A
woman with a beautiful smile, smart, and attractive. She carried me for 9 months and raised me. Today it’s an
honor for me to talk about my mother.
Her name is Jocelyne Joseph, my greatest joy is when I see her smile. Her love is patient and kind no
matter what happens. She is always there to comfort me and encourage me to do my best. Also she is the most
important person in my life because of unconditional love, her sacrifices, and the values she has taught me.
My mother makes a lot of sacrifices for our family. She works hard every day to make sure we have what
we need. Sometimes she puts her own dreams aside just so I can reach mine. Her dedication inspires me to work
harder and always be grateful for what I have. She has shown me the importance of respect, honesty,and being
responsible. Her prayers protect me everyday. I fight constantly to achieve my goals because I know one person
who still believes in me and can not wait for me to be successful. I love her, she is my whole model, and I miss
her.
Finally, my mother is my favorite person because she is full of love, sacrifice, and wisdom. She is more
than just my mom, she is my hero, always by my side. I admire her strength and her heart. I will always be
grateful for the person she is in my life.
