My hero is my lovely mom.

Heroes? Most people think of heroes as being Superman, Batman, or Spiderman. Well my hero is my Mom. She’s probably a better hero than Superman (well at least that’s how I see it). She is courageous, smart and a very good person. I wouldn’t want to change her for any mom in the world, even if we have our good and bad days or our arguments. I still love her and would never want to change her for any other mom.

My mom is a very strong person. She is strong because she is little and could still protect herself. She’s strong enough to deal with work problems and medical problems. She’s courageous because she’s not afraid of anything that comes her way. She can get through anything, even things that are tough to get through. If people have problems and get through them, even though it may take time, they are true heroes.

My mom is also a good person. She’s good because through all these years I’ve been such a brat and she deals with it. She helps people in need like family and me. She’s like my best friend, I could talk to her about everything, I tell her all the bad things I’ve done and she understands. Now most parents would be really angry. I always have an attitude with her for little stupid things and she is always calm and patient but still gets mad at me when I have attitude.

My mom is very smart. She’s always been smart since she was little. She always got good grades and she loved school. She doesn’t make stupid decisions like I have. She knows how to make good choices. She’s hard working and is very intelligent at what she does. She’s the smartest person I’ve ever met.

My mom is a true hero in my heart. She doesn’t need to wear a cape or be able to fly or fight bad guys. She just needs to be her and that’s what I love about her. Her intelligence and courage is what makes me love her so much. And it’s also why she is one of my heroes.
