The Person I Respect
There are many respectable people around us. However, I respect my mother more than any other person. My mother is a plainlooking woman in her late forties. She is of medium build, but with an air of easy confidence and calm.
She gains my respect for her devotion to work and positive energy. As a devoted doctor, my mom always comes to her patients' rescue. Last year, she signed up to fight against the COVID19 in the front line. When seeing her coming back, I couldn't be prouder. My mom is also regarded as someone with positive energy. In the face of difficulties, instead of complaining, she tackles problems positively. People turn to her for help because her optimism can often channel their energy into constructive thinking.
Such is my respectable mother—an ordinary doctor who not only devotes her youth to her beloved career, but has a positive attitude towards life.
