And behind those athletes are moms who are doing their part to ensure that happens every single day.
Mothers are teachers, guardians and friends.
My mother is not just another women; she is extraordinary!
My mother has always supported my athletic and academic career.
My first basketball team was called Westchester Hoopers.
This team was called the Riverside Hawks.
This was not due to peer pressure, but because she wanted the team to keep progressing.
To this day I still can’t thank her enough for that.
She drives me to school for two hours every day, too.
She is a superwoman.
When my team travels out of state, she’s right there beside me.
No matter where I am, she is there.
Mothers create the way their children think, act, and speak.
They have one of the greatest effects on their child that anyone will ever have.
My mother and I have a bond that will never be broken.
I love my mother like no other."
My mother works very hard to take care of our family.
She always wants the best for me, my brothers and my dad.
(I’m not sure that any of my friends enjoy their mom’s every opinions, either.)
Maybe she is right when she says, “I’ll understand when I’m older.”
My mother always says that she wants the best for me and it makesmewant the best for myself.
My dreams are her dreams.
I love and appreciate her for caring about my goals on and off the court."
I’m comfortable talking to her about anything and everything, and she understands a lot.
She tells me about how when she was when she was my age, and we’re very similar.
In my basketball world, she is my motivation.
My mom has dedicated herself to me.
I appreciate everything she’s done for me.
I plan to go pro.
I’m going to buy her a car and pay off everything.
And I’m going to put at least $10,000 in her bank account.
