Tonya Blue

by Alzure from Chicago

Have you ever had a hero in your life? The hero of my life has been in my life since I was born. This person has been there for me when I have problems and she can help me. She has been there for me through thick and thin. In my life a hero means a person who you admire and who is brave. Also, in my life a hero is a person who makes mistakes because no one is perfect! My hero is my mother. She lives in Chicago and was born in 1973.

In my life, my mother has done many things.  My hero has taught me to always be a leader and  not a follower. She's taught me to be successful in school, get good grades and to be responsible for myself and  my actions. Additionally, my hero has taught me to be brave and strong young lady.

My mother has taught me to be independent and to not count on anyone to do anything for you. My mother is important to me because she is always here for me. My mother is important to me because she's always going to be the one who I can count on and who I can trust.

She is important to me because no matter how much I can hurt her feelings I will always care for her and respect her. Another reason, why she's important to me is because she takes care of me and she teaches me how to stand on my own two feet. My mother has made an impact in my life because she teaches me the right things to do in life. For example, having respect for myself and being independent.

My mother is considered a hero because she encourages me to do  the right thing. Also, she is considered a hero because regardless of what may happen I will always love my mother no matter what happens.
