General

Everyone has someone that they admire. The person I admire most is neither world famous nor a multimillionaire. I admire my aunt; my mother’s sister. Hard work was part of her life, but still she smiled all the time. Her life can be a good example of a person who has suffered a lot, but has never asked for help as asking for help is symbol of weakness for her. I have known her since I was born, but I've understood her during last three or four weeks. She always advises me and her daughter that, "Don't feel helpless in life and try to live your life in a way that people who are related to you can remember you with pride and respect”.

My aunt lives in India. She is a typical Indian woman and she said that she has always wanted to be what she is. She always wears “Sari" or “Salwar" which are Indian traditional clothes. She is religious too. She always tells us history of our religion. The thing which I like the most about her is whenever she gives us advice she always tells us, "That's what I think that doesn't mean that you agree with me”. My uncle is a hardworking person and he also respects her. She lives in a house which is small, but the way she has decorated it is amazing. She has the great gift of creativity. She has made lots of paintings and has decorated pots to decorate her living room. My aunt has five children and they all live in a two room house. She told me that material things are not important and we should be contented in what we have and be thankful for it.

She has always tried to be as simple as she can and has spent less money as her financial status isn't good. She wasn't even able to pay the phone bill so they discontinued using phone. My aunt is a great woman who sacrifices her life for her family. She tries to earn money from mending people's clothes, so she could help my uncle. My mom had tried to offer her financial help, but she didn't take it. She told my mom that she appreciated that my mom cared for her, but her self-respect wasn't allowing her to take help. She never told her pain and suffering to anyone. She always said that life is not as easy as we think but we have to adjust in every situation and try to be happy always.

At the end I can say that a woman's moral beauty is like a night rain. You are not able to tell it's raining unless you listen to the pitter-patter on the roof, and you can't feel my aunt's virtue and dignity unless you see her behaviour and lifestyle and listen to her voice. My aunt is an erudite woman who often has optimistic outlook on every problem. She encourages me to pursue and actualize my dreams, let me do what I'm passionate about....although, sometimes, she gets a little disappointed with my decision and worried about my illogical ideas, as I told her, I need to stand on my own feet, and sooner or later, I will fly with my own wings.
