Honoring our mothers through the media that raised us – The UCSD Guardian
Mother’s Day is finally here, and what better way to celebrate the women who raised us than sharing stories of the arts and entertainment they introduced us to? Read below for A&E’s tributes to our amazing mothers and the media that reminds us of them.

We’ve devoted years to tuning into a myriad of reality competition shows, but “Survivor” has always held a special place in our hearts. Week after week, she and I would frequently discuss the castaway chaos unfolding on screen. Whether reacting to devastating blindsides, complaining about annoying tribe members, or laughing about showhost Jeff Probst’s commentary, “Survivor” allowed my Mom and I to revel in each other’s company. While we don’t get to watch “Survivor” together like we used to, I look forward to getting a weekly “Have you seen the new episode yet?” text from her. Every time I press play, I think about sitting with my mom as a kid, completely happy just to be in each other’s company. I love you, Mom. If there was ever another season of “Survivor: Blood vs. Water,” I wouldn’t let anyone vote you off. – Sonia McSwain, Creative & Projects Editor Photo by Meng-Shan Otero My mother has always loved country music. When I rode in her car as a kid, the soundtrack was the same no matter where we were going. Over time, I started to identify some of my mom’s favorites — Keith Urban, Tim McGraw, and Carrie Underwood. I have never enjoyed country music. In fact, I loathed it as a kid. But as I grew older, I began to understand that, to my mother, country is less of a genre and more of a symbol. For someone who immigrated to the United States from Taiwan at 14 years old, she felt a sense of belonging in America when she listened to country songs. In sharing this music with me, she showed me how she embraced a culture that once felt foreign to her. Now, whenever I hear country music, I am instantly reminded of the sacrifices my mom made so I could feel at home in a country she once had to navigate all by herself. Car rides with my mother still consist of listening to that same country radio station. Although I may not enjoy the music, I can now understand how much it means to her.

We rode our bikes to the swimming pool, caught lizards and crawfish in the yard, and walked to the convenience store for Cokes, candy bars and comic books. Those memories are treasures.
