mission statement

     My original plan for this revision essay was to show the relationship between mothers and daughters, and how the way your mother raised you reflects on the way you raise your own kids and live your own life- whether you choose to believe it or not. However, it naturally took a turn on it's own that i went with because i liked better.
     Mission statement: My essay Nana describes specific qualities of the grandmother i have always known. I use this- and stories about my mom- to show the importance of knowing how people change, why they change, and how it effects the people around them.
     Not everybody becomes a completely different person. But life changes your attitude on how to live, and how to treat the people you love. For my grandma, she realized this later in life. She was a polar opposite grandma than she was a mother, and my essay shows how this made my mother view her and how it made me view her as well.
    This happens all the time in life, so i think there is a lot of truth in my essay. I never knew my mom's mom, but maybe i was never supposed to. My grandmother learned lessons in her life and prompted her to change. Change can be a good or bad thing.
     My mom tried to raise me completely differently than she was raised. In a way, she broke a cycle.
     I guess what i'm also trying to say is to always be aware of how you treat others. "Treat them the way you would like to be treated."
