Tonya M. Ware

by Jasmine from Houston

My hero is my momma. She has been so good to me these past twelve years. She is the one who has given me the support from when I was a baby, to the teenager that I am today. When I was in the fifth grade, I was as bad as all the kids put together. I used to lie about everything….forge report cards, lie about my homework and just about anything else I did wrong until one day, she came up to my school with a belt and a camera and my aunt &god momma.

Then she whopped my tail right in front of my class. Everybody said that they felt sorry for me because something like that never happened to them before. Ever since then, I have never acted up in school again, which is why I am making such good grades. Every time I need something, she is always there to show me how and to get me what I need. She shows me the support and gives me the love I need. She tries to make sure that I have a better life than she had. When I grow up…I want to be just like her. Small, beautiful, and independent, she is MY HERO!
