For instance, when I was younger she used to make my suits with fabric she bought. When I was six years old my mother wanted me to wear one of the suits, she had made for me, to church. At that age I was worried what my friends would think; therefore, I refused to wear the suit for church. Suddenly her face changed from a pale color to a dark red. I never saw her so outraged. Her soothing eyes turned to daggers. She alarmed me in how furious she was. In a seconds notice, she grabbed me by the ear and put me in the car. I don't think my feet ever touched the ground. She put such fear in my heart that I never told her that I disliked anything that she made for me ever again. When I arrived at the church I got nothing but compliments on the suit. Everyone thought she bought it from a designer company. That day I learned not to worry what other people think about me. Another thing I learned is that she is very proud and impassioned in what she accomplishes. A way to describe her is that she's a jack-of-all-trades.
On the other hand, with all of her great gifts of talent come some of her bad traits. She is so self-efficient that she never asks for help when she really needs it. Every time she acts stubborn and refuses help, she winds up getting hurt and blames everybody for her misfortune. .
Sometimes she can be a real miss know it all, because she can do anything. For example, back in high school I went to a technical high school where I learned Plumbing/HVAC, where I was one of the top students in my class. One year my mom was remodeling her kitchen and asked me to replace the sink and put in all PVC pipe and new copper lines to the new fixture. At that time I realized that she asked me to do it. Instead, while I was working under the sink, she decides she wants to get under it and see what I"m doing. The cabinet wasn't comfortable at all with one person, never mind two people. With an authoritarian tone, she was telling me how to solder and what kind of feed you had when you have a double sink.
