A Mother's Day Tribute Vol. We Are Our Mothers' Daughters . I do not plan to write a book about my own mother, nor will I be able to be with her this Mother's Day. But I want to pay tribute to her because think tanks are not alone in promoting individual initiative, personal responsibility, and opportunity.
Mothers do the same.
My mother is the greatest mentor I have ever known. All my life, she has encouraged me to be responsible and take advantage of the opportunities that came my way. For this advice, I shall be forever grateful. Born into a happy and privileged family, my mother had all that she desired and more. After graduating from a private school, she wanted to become a nurse.
