I Love My Mama

Mothers. What would we do without them? Sure, they make us eat our vegetables, and they ground us when we stay out past curfew. And there are those weeks when they get on our nerves for no reason. But think about this: how many other people do we know that will love us unconditionally for our whole lives? Probably not many. So now, in honor of Mother’s Day, your fellow Pres girls are going to share just a few of the things that make their moms awesome.

Sara Etchison, Senior: My first memory of my mother is  when I was sitting on top of the table and I’d just spilled Frosted Flakes all over the place, and she just sat there staring at me, and then she just smiled.

Lauren Jean-Rice, senior: She’s my best friend and she always supports me in everything, and I know that I will keep her unconditional love and she’s always my biggest advocate.

Leslie Grant, senior: We always watch TV shows together. We’ll have our nightly TV shows. It’s my whole family, but me and my mom especially watch Glee together, and we also watch Bones. And afterwards we always talk about it and it’s really intense.

Amanda Uyesugi, junior: We love to go to San Francisco and go see the plays and theatres there.

Mary Morgan, junior: My mommy’s really, really awesome because when we go shopping together she buys me expensive clothes because we can share them because we’re the same size.

Aislinn Everett, junior: Me and my mom bond over medical shows, and it’s really awesome.

Michelle Yee, Junior: Whenever I need to stay up late, my mom always stays up with me.

Annie Vu, junior: One year for Mothers’ Day my sister and I decided to give my mom a scented candle and we spent hours and hours at JC Penney’s smelling scented candles and then we decided on vanilla.

Ashley Lowenstein, sophomore: She’s always there for me, and she is such an amazing person.

Elizabeth Nguyen, sophomore: My mother is the best person on earth. She has all her eccentricities, but I love her all the same. She is always there whenever I need her, like if I forgot my lunch, then she’ll drive all the way to school to bring it to me.

Julia Gallo, freshman: My mom’s really supportive and I like to go shopping with her sometimes and go out and have mom-daughter days.

Kendall Wilkerson, freshman: My mom likes to randomly sing and burst into song.

Isha Salian, freshman: Every time my mom and I start talking, three hours will go by and we won’t even realize it.
