The most important person in my life My mom is definitely the most important person in my life. When I was younger I rarely tried to think, just tried to imagine how it's difficult to raise three children in Russia in 1990s. I can see now how many sacrifices she made to make us happy. I never was hungry, I never needed something I couldn't live without, I always knew that my mom can bring all I need. I think she influenced me more than anyone else, even though I always was very independent in my thoughts and utterances and supposed that we are very different. Unfortunately, I started to recognize the measure of her efforts not so long ago. I just lived my own life without thinking of her needs and dreams, without much helping her. I helped, but it was too little to show my grateful to her. I want to believe I would be a better daughter than I was before.
