        I like my family very much. All of the members of my family are kind and comfortable. Especially, I like my mother, so I'm going to tell you more about her. Two years ago my mother was very fat, but she is quite thin now. She always says to me, "Twenty years ago, I was quite a popular woman to men." I think  that she seems to have a "princess complex."
        I think the most important person in my family is my mother. My father attended a university in Japan and worked as an elementary school teacher and lawyer, but my mother didn't attend a university. Although she only works as a housewife, I love and respect my mother more than my father. I think wisdom is more important than intelligence for our life, because intelligent people can't solve difficult problems wisely, but wise people can solve them rapidly without knowledge.
        I always think of my mother as a wise woman. First of all, she does much housework every day for my family.  So, thanks to her, my father, younger brother and I can eat delicious meals every day, wear clean clothes and live in a clean house. The second reason is she is my adviser and one of my best friends. I talk with her very often and usually tell her about my future plans, difficulties in my life and so on. Then, she gives me  many kinds of tips. It really  helps me so much. Also, whenever I talk with her, I feel very comfortable and safe. But she regards me as a very young child sometimes. Whenever she treats me that way, I get angry with her occasionally, but still she's my favorite person in my family. The third reason is that my mother helped me to have more confidence and do my best in everything.
        When I suffered about something, she often comforted me with love. For example, one day I quarreled very badly with my mother because of my future problems. So I went out of my home and stayed at a friend's house all day. I wanted to see my family and regretted leaving my home. Later, When my mother came to my friend's house, and I went back home with her. When I arrived  home, I burst into tears. Although I stayed at my friend's house only for a day, It seemed like a month to me, and I felt her great love.
        Another reason I admire my mother is he is the worker of society because she helps and loves not only our family but also orphans. She visits orphans with delicious foods once a month. I think she is a woman with a warm heart.   Finally, she always worries about my school life, like drinking manners and so on.
        Because of these reasons, my mother is the most important person in my family and life. Especially, she influenced  my future goals and my thinking. For instance, I try to study English for my future, because I want to be an English teacher sincerely. Also, thanks to her, I became a more aggressive woman than before. Anyway, I really love her, and I'm sure she loves me too. Therefore, I'm very happy and I'm always thankful to her.
