My #1 Hero is Claudia Schrader

My Mom is the most important person in my life. She raised me, she’s taught me, and I know for a fact that she would risk her life for me. My mom is my all-time favorite person. She is kind, gentle, appreciative, trustworthy, and a super cool person to be around. She taught me to walk and to talk, she taught me what was right and what was wrong, and she has been by my side my whole life.

My mom is a graduate student at Marshall. She is studying to become a speech pathologist. My mom has to raise both my sister and I, while having to study every day, clean, make dinner, and a lot of other things that keep her very occupied. She also works at the international office at Marshall to pay for college. Those are only a few reasons why she is my hero.

My mom was born in South America. She came to America, planning only to stay for six months. Then she met my dad and she ended up staying here way longer than she expected. I know that she misses her family so much, but she stays here because of us. My mom has sacrificed so much for my sister and I. I can not thank my mom enough for doing everything that she has done up to this day.

My mom is working so hard for my sister and I. Even though I know she does not have the time, she makes time and helps me with things I need. She is dealing with a lot of things on her plate, but I know she is strong and I know that soon, after she graduates, it will be a lot easier for all of us, but especially for her. I am so grateful that God chose her, out of all people, to be my mom. I wouldn’t have asked for it any other way.

To me my, mom couldn’t be more perfect in any way. In my opinion, my mom is the best mom in the world. She has been the light showing me the way. I love her so much. My mom is my #1 hero.
