Power

My mom holds power in my life because she wants the best for me. She has been there for all of my life and when I need help she is there to help. My mom does not want me to become a lazy mom who counts on her husband to pay things or go grocery shopping. I want to join karate but mom will not let me, even though, I know that I would be really good at it. I think it is because she does not want me to be violent at school or anywhere else, but my dad, brothers, and I play fight with each other. My mom thinks poorly of my step mom, but that does not stop me from going over there. Mom is always there but dad is not. He is mostly at work and mom works while I am at school.
