Someone that doesn't only inspire me, but is my hero, is my mom. She might not be a hero to others, but she is definitely my hero. She has always encouraged me to do my best and even in difficult times she would be a hard working mom. My mom is one of my greatest heroes.

She has been a great hero and a great mom. When I was growing up I would feel very lonely because my mom would work and I wouldn't see her that much, but when she had time she would make every second count. When she realized that she had already worked for a long time she wanted to change her work schedule so that she would spend more time with me on the afternoons. When she would work later she was getting sick because she was losing sleep, so she decided that she had to go back to the earlier work schedule. But even if I wouldn't get to see her that much, it was all worth it because my she got me where I am today.

When my mom was growing up her life wasn't perfect she had obstacles and difficult times. One of her obstacles was that she grew up in a poor family with seven brothers and five sisters which meant that they didn't have money for school. So the only time she went to school was from first grade through second grade, but when she grew up she decided that she wanted to go to adult school. The person that inspired her the most was her mom because she encouraged her to go back to school so that she could have a better life and future. Two years after she had her first daughter her dad died, but that didn't stop her from having a good life so she decided to move to the United States.

These reasons for her being my hero are just the beginning. She is much greater for me just to be writing an essay on her. My mom is my hero and she will always be.
