My mother always says ...

My hero is my mom. She is a single mother who is raising a family of 4 and helping out others on her own. She is a very great lady and parent. Although times may get rough and things may not go right for her she still remains strong and keeps her head up. She is raising my little 2 year old sister Keyona, my little 6 year old brother Tyree and me. She knows that she is strong and doing good and I love her dearly. To have a true hero would be to have a hero like my mom.

She is my hero because she has done so much. She has been a single mother now going on four years and she goes to school, raises kids and yet has to pay bills and rent. LIfe is really a struggle and times get hard for everyone. She has acomplished many things such as going to school and graduating with her medical and billing terms. She is now looking for a job. She is my hero because she has her mind s on accomplishment.

We live in L.A. She has a House and a nice little area for the kids to play. She lives in southern California in a relatively good neighborhood. Lots of families and kids and it's quiet and peaceful.

My mother is my hero and she is important beause she has done a lot for me and I appreciate all that she has done and still does. She is important to me because she teaches me things and talks to me. She shows me how to be strong mentally and phsyically.

My mom is important to me because she is there for me and supports me in what I do. She is really important to me because she is an understanding parent and she lets me be a teen. She doesn't really trip off on things but still knows her place as a mother. My mother also teaches me things and lets me know stuff ahead of time so that I will be aware of things. She has made a difference in my life because I know that no matter what may happen in life or what struggles you go through you can still overcome that and come out on top. She has made a difference because I know that if you set your mind to it then you can do what ever you want to do.
