My school assignment about my first changemaker: Suzana

The changemaker I would like to talk about is my oldest daughter. Here is something I wrote about her: 1- When she wants something she goes after it. She is consistent, intelligent, and a driven person. 2- I have to struggle to exercise and do therapy, so she is an example for me of someone that is determine and follow through her goals. 3- She made a great impact in my life since she made me a mother. Because of her, I had to change a lot of bad habits in order to be a better mother. 4- She inspired me to be a better mother, I improved my healthylifestyle, and improved my spirituality as well. I could talk about each of my children, since they all came and impacted me somehow. I learned with each of them. But I chose to talk specifically about Suzana because she is the oldest, the first that gave way to my personal improvement, and she has consistently being an inspiration for me throught her life. Some examples of her personality and impacts: When I began teaching her how to play piano, at age 4, she received the task, trusted in her parents, and practiced. She did it so well that very soon she advanced and began playin piano better than me. Years later, she wanted to learn how to do split, because of her ballet classes. She created a plan of exercises, and she consistenly trainned everyday to achieve this. After this, she wanted to use ballet pointe, and with practice she also achieved this. When I decided she would be homeschooled, she accepted the challenge, and she basically homeschooled herself. My husband and I had only guided her curriculum, but she made it happen everyday, with focus, planning, and following through. She has become a woman, decided to study abroad and applied to the whole process herself, moved to another country by herself at age 17 to attend college, and she is now serving a mission. She has to lead some missionaries, and I am proud of the work she has been doing. About my live presentation, and slide part: Can you expand on the fact that she is a changemaker for me because of impacting my life right from the beggining when she was born. On that moment, I felt I was her whole world, and I felt the heavy responsibility on my shoulders of helping her become a good citizen to this world. Right that, at that moment, besides that burden, I also felt the motivation to change myself first in order to be the closest human example for her of how to live her life. Somethings she inspired me to do include overcoming my childhood traumas, search healing from past experiences, so I could give myseld into motherhood with a health mindset, following my instincts, and really guide her. If not, if I hadn't work on myself first, I couldn't have taken a good care of her. Can you also include that while a teenager, she became very aware of the importance of taking care of herself. She learned how to make health food, and became insterested in Yoga. Nowadays I also practice yoga because of her dedication to the practice. She inspires me to be brave, happy, and calm.
