Tracing My Motivation
My story begins as a child in the 80’s, we just moved to Florida from Germany. I cannot recall having much motivation at this point other than to do anything to impress my mother. My mother worked several jobs as I grew up and was never home. I think that is why I felt invisible and thus began my motivation for getting her approval. I sought her approval through having good grades and trying to excel in sports and other after-school activities. I admit that I went through phases of good and bad grades. Her initial response to my straight A’s was, “You can do better”. So, at times I would make bad grades in hopes that she would say the same thing and then when I improved, I would get praise. Even though I never received her praises, I still wanted to maintain good grades with the hopes that she would see me.
