My mom - A brilliant, independent, strong, humble, highly successful woman, who has sacrificed more than anyone can imagine for me to have unlimited opportunities. She's a hard act to follow, the day I become a mother. She's taught me the value of a dollar. My mom has shown me that honest, hard work yields the best rewards (not cheating the welfare system to get undeserved handouts), and that no one is too good to do even the most humble task. My mom proves that if your heart is in it, you can be both a career woman and a great mom who gives your daughter more attention than she could ever ask for -- private school, ballet and voice lessons, Chinese school, dinners at nice restaurants, family time, church, exotic vacations overseas... my mom has given me everything.
