She's your mom. She's going to be worried no matter what. Comes with the territory. I'd wonder what's wrong with her if she didn't worry. You want to really make an impression, since you're a 'pro' and all, move out and support yourself with it. There's no arguing success. The more she sees you succeed, 'on your own', the better. Even then she'll still worry. She's your mom. That's what mom's do.
