I am writing about the hero in my life my mom, Maria Amparo. She was born in Mexico 62 years ago. She attended only her third grade in the elementary school. I consider her my hero, because she is a big support for me and my family, but the principal quality that she shows in life is her positive character.

When I was a child, I remember her working hard everyday in the morning, preparing food for the children at the school. For example, one experience that I remember was when a child didn't have enough money to buy food. My mom saw the boy and gave him free lunches. I saw what a big heart she has for everyone. Another quality of my mom is her participation in the community, by teaching classes in several topics, such as cooking, pastry class, and how to make teddy bears. That is the reason my mom is my hero.
