This is my mother Valentina Campos. (A photographer))

Screams, struggles, laughter, tears, and smiles. Growing up always having that one woman I looked up to and that woman is my mother. She was always there when I fell down or had trouble with something. Those smiles that would give me smiles. Those tears that gave me tears. I appreciate everything she has done for me.

My mother is my hero because she was the one that watched my siblings and I grow up and never depended on anyone else. She has always led me through the right path. She has always done everything she could to maintain a roof over our heads and food on the table. My mom has always been there for my siblings and me when we need her. She took the role of being a father and a mother to us and has always encouraged us to the best with our lives. She taught us from right and wrong and always told me to keep my head up. She's my hero because she also grew up without a father figure and she went through the things that my siblings and I went through.

She will always be my role model and my hero because without her I wouldn't be anything in this world.
