editor's note //
For the longest time, I was convinced that I was not my mother's daughter. My bright blue eyes and blonde hair, traits inherited from my father, contrast with her warm, brown eyes and short, brown bob. She is quiet and reserved, internalizing emotions while I spit mine out with an ungraceful urgency. She analyzes numbers and codes designing computer software, while I spend hours agonizing over sentences, their meanings and implications.
I couldn't translate my mother's high school experiences to my own. I was the part-athlete, part-honor student, part-chairleader who would've ignored her, the girl wearing thick-rimmed glasses and wielding National Forensics League medals. In a sense, I thought I was better, and most definitely cooler, than she ever was.
Any sense of arrogance I had in high school quickly vanished when I arrived in Lawrence. I became my mother — a shy student unsure of what to do and where to go. With all familiarity
three hours away, she was the only person I could turn to.
Leaving her made me value our communication more, and realize that we are surprisingly similar. We both have a stubborn sense of independence — hers acquired from being a single parent and mine from her example. We're fiercely competitive, on and off the volleyball court. And she is the reason I love football more than any girl should, having taught me about post routes and the option run by the Huskers on Satursdays.
The one quality my mother has that I can only hope to attain is her selflessness. This is a woman who let me attend college out-of-state, let me venture to London freshman year, and when I still felt lost, let me return to Europe to figure it all out. She gives me the opportunities that she never had, which amazes me.
Moms deserve to be appreciated and recognized for their endless love and support. Check out Adam's essay on page 15 to see how his relationship with his mother developed.
I may not have always been able to identify with her, but I now realize that turning into my mother may not be such a bad thing.
