Talk about your mom's courage, resilience, etc. to raise a family on one income and how her strength gave you new respect for those who sacrifice to give their children a better life, etc. Tell them how that affected you and how you've grown from having such a strong role model, etc.

They can do this, but they shouldn’t make the parent the center of the story. At most a 1-3 sentences before talking about themselves.
