“It kind of sounds cliche, but I would say my mom is my biggest role model in my life, because she’s just what I aspire to be like in everything: personality wise, and what she’s accomplished, and just being a good mom to me and my siblings. She’s smart, and she focuses on continuously improving herself, not just letting her daily tasks pull her down. She’s always been super loving, and I hope that one day I can be as well put-together as she is and be as well-off, happy, and secure in my life as she is,” junior Samantha Blake said.
