My biggest fan
Support means most from mom

Not all of us are blessed with the ability to play sports at a collegiate or professional level, but we are all blessed with something that we are great at. Just look around this campus and one can find artists in music, theatre and visual arts.
Records may not reflect it, but there are a slew of talented athletes playing in Greyhound Arena or at Greyhound Stadium or any of the other venues at Eastern.
We all have something to offer this world. Mine is writing and yours may be teaching or engineering, but most of us have one thing in common with each other outside of ENMU.
More than likely, our moms are our biggest fans. Some, like myself, may have to share the spotlight with an older or younger sibling, but moms have a way of splitting up there fanhood for their kid(s).
All moms are mothers, but not all mothers are moms. A mother has the choice to be a mom and may or may not accept that role. Everyone is entitled to their own decision, but I'm glad mine chose to be my mom and with it - my biggest fan.
It took some years for me to realize just how big of a fan my mom was. I played basketball my entire life and she was at 95 percent of the games. She didn't travel to all the road games, but made quite a few.
I always knew my mom was cheering for me when I was on the court - even if I couldn't hear her. But she made it a point to be heard.
My biggest fan would do things for me that would make me happy regardless if my dad wasn't up for it, but my dad's up anything fun.
My mom took me to the midnight showing of "Batman" in 1989. She slept through most of it, but I never sat down. My three-year-old mind just kept watching. She put up with my German accent and my amazing ability to lie even when I was caught from the beginning.
She's put up with my arrogance and nursed me back from pneumonia. She's hugged me, kissed me, spanked me, yelled at me and babied me.
She's taught me math, baked cakes and put up with every less-than-stellar girlfriend I've had. I don't think I could do all that for Michael Jordan or Tim Duncan, but my mom's my biggest fan.
