Assertion - If you believe in me

In this essay by Beverly of Atlanta, Georgia she expresses her feelings about mothering, and uses anecdotes about her mothers mothering to her. Beverly's mom was a very strong individual and thats how i believe all mothers should be. They should be there for their sons and daughters, to get them out of trouble when need be or be there when they need a mom the most. Beverly's mom stood up for the her children's lives whether it was keeping her son from gang violence or putting her daughter, Beverly, in a school where she will get a higher education. Her mom came from a family where her birthday was never celebrated so she made up a birthday. She made up a middle name because she grew up without one. She came from a not-so-great- home but raised her children in a perfect home where she kept them on the right track and cared for them in every way. Since she experienced growing up without mothering she raised her kids with more than enough mothering because she didn't want Beverly and her brother to be in trouble because of something she didn't do. With a mother like that, Beverly will be more likely to raise kids with as much if not more mothering than her own mother. Because of the hardship Beverly's mom faced, Beverly will now raise kids with a better understanding.
