MY MOM....MY IDOL

Hi guys for all those who are going to read this would realize how special a mom is, but for me my mom is something more.. she is my "IDOL" because my mom has strived hard a lot from her childhood to motherhood.Her journey as a child till now has been a example for me and my brother. My mom was born in an Hindhu Bramin family on 21st March 1958 in Nagpur in Maharashtra with five sisters and two brothers.My grandfather was an employee in central railways and was struggling to meet both the ends apart from his work, he was also doing a extra job to satisfy the basic needs of the family.As my grandfather knew the importance of education he sent all his children to an english medium school by taking some loans ,as he could not afford.Apart from seven of them there was my mom's grandmother staying with them and she was an orthodox women there were some restrictions as to women not to study and only the sons should study but my grandparents did not listen to her. My mom was studying in 3rd class and there was severe winter and my mom could not afford a sweater and used to sit in that cold weather without uttering a word and her teacher saw this and bought an used sweater for her.My mother had only two pairs of clothes and so did the others. If it was torn,my grandmother would stitch it but could not buy a new pair of clothes.My mom used to wash the clothes and wash all utensils along with her siblings and by the time they used to sit for studying it would be around 10'o clock in the night.All of them used to take turns like four would study and rest four would sleep for some time for few hours and vice-versa. Now I and my brother don't even do a 0.1% of the work my mom did and we get whatever we ask for, from mobiles to playstations to the best clothes and many more as my parents don't want us to know what is poverty and its effects.Both my mom and dad worked very hard to earn a respectable position in the society. After her first phase of schooling was over the second phase started "College" my mom successfully completed her matriculation with flying colors and wanted to pursue her graduation i.e. B.Com but now my grandfather was not interested as he had other plans of getting his daughters married.But my mom and her sisters opposed and my grandmother was with them.So, my grandfather had no other choice bot to let them what my mom wished.So my mom did her graduation with a fair results and got second rank in all over India in economics My Family believes "LORD RHAGAVENDRA SWAMY" and my mom worships him very deeply with great belief and after her graduation was completed she thought of working than getting married and so my mom had to get the job on her own hard work.First she joined as a teacher in a primary school but she wasn't happy with the salary as she had to help her family.Then she learned short hand and worked for Oriental bank for two months as a temporary employee now she had gained experience in the banking field and applied for BANK OF BARODA where she worked for a long period of 27 years.Finally she retired as an Officer .My mom was the first person to work in her family as she started working at the age of 19.This is something great for me and my bro. My mom could not sit at home idle and wanted to work as she always wanted to keep herself active. Now she works as an assistant Manager in ICFAI university for the past 2 years.This is a whole new experience from the Bank but still my mom coped up with the new environment and has been working efficiently. Finally what everyone admires my mom is the "never say die " attitude and her hard working ability through which she has earned a lot of respect from everybody and what I learnt from her is education will help a man somewhere and somehow and not to neglect education.I wish to conclude by saying that "my idol ROCKS".
