Her limitations were that she did not have the freedom to do what she wanted, such as pursuing her studies, having a social life or having enough time to get a massage. When she was pregnant with me, she was unable to continue her engineering studies. There were financial limitations related to raising children. She constantly had to buy clothes, food, and other necessities to sustain us. She also constantly had time limits for getting to work or dropping us off at daycare or the office. Such limitations can break one's morale, however, my mother's spirit remained intact despite all the difficulties.
