The first definition is what describes mama the best, she has always shown great determination, with everything in life.  It has noticeably increased within the past ten years.  For example, she is always determined not to eat too much meat or shrimp, due to her cholesterol, the amazing this is that she would follow that 100% no cheating whatsoever.  She would also, be determined to exercise everyday, and do different trainings, and rehab, not because she wanted to, because she knows she has to.  The exercise, and rehabilitation is what is keeping her semi-active, it gives her something to look forward to, a schedule, rather than stay at home and watch “Nile Drama” all day.
She is determined to fight PSP, never giving up going to doctors, never saying no to second, third,fourth and fifth opinions.
 She is a true fighter, god bless her.
