leadership in the home

Growing up, I have always been fortunate enough to have been surrounded by truly amazing individuals. The individual that most frequently comes to my mind is my mother. She in all honesty is one of my heroes. I love her with all my heart. I realized how strong of a leader she was by how she handled situations. When I was twelve, my father passed away. This was obviously a very trying time for my family. However, my mother was the glue that held us together. She showed so much strength, love, and optimism. I never once heard her complain. She only tried to keep our family close to each other and our Heavenly Father. From this, I learned that its always important to be optimistic about whatever comes in life. By doing this, we grow spiritually and emotionally. Without my mothers example, I know without a doubt that I would not be the strong person I am today. She is an incredible leader who I hope to continue to emulate.
