I am proud to say that my mom is my best friend.  She has helped me through so much in my twenty years on this earth so far and now I want to return the favor.  She is a gorgeous woman at the wonderful age of fourty-one.  She is one of the most independent strong women I know.  I wish she could find the wardrobe to give her the confidence she is looking for.  There has been countless times that we have gone out and she changes her outfit like thirty times before we go out.  She doesn't understand how beautiful she really is.  My mom has just recently returned to school after twenty years for dental assisting.  This is something she has wanted to do for a long time but she put her life on hold for me and my younger brother.  Now that we are adults and working she wants to return to school and better herself.  I just want to win this competition for my mother just as gratitude for all the sacrifices she has made over the last twenty years.  She has never put herself first and now its time she did!
