My Lovely Mom

by Raissa Githa from SMAN 5 Bandung


My hero is a woman who was pregnant with me for nine months and she has been looking after me until now. She always takes care of me when I am sick and helps me out when I am having problems. My Mom, my hero, is the most incredible woman I have ever met. She spends her time to take care of me and my father. She loves to take care her family. She is Iis Lisnurlaeli, my mother.

When I was 5 years old, my young sister was born. It made her busier but she never complained. She did the housework herself and she had to accompany me to school. In that time, we didn’t have a servant, so my mother did everything. I saw her when she was tired, but I couldn’t help her because I was too young to help her.

When I was 9 years old, she got a job as a teacher in Junior High School. Since she is a teacher, she has more things to do. Although she becomes busy she doesn’t forget her family. My mom is a woman who likes her family and her job. Even though she is a teacher, she also spends time with us. Four days a week from 7 a.m. until 1 p.m. she works at school and the rest of her time she spends with her family. That is why I choose my mother to be my hero. I often make my mother angry with me because of my attitude. I am really sorry, Mom. But you know how I love you.
