Does your mom care for you and love you? Well, mine does. My hero is my mom. The reason I chose my mom is because she saved me from the adoption centre.

My mom was born in Parry Sound, Ontario, Canada. She went to Parry Sound High School. My mom has five sisters and two brothers. Their names are Judy, Linda, Marilyn, Susan, Donna, Lloyd and Franklin. My mom works very hard to look after our family which is Aaron, dad, me.


My mom was just like me. She was raised in foster homes. She was influenced by her foster parents who told her she could be anything she set her mind to. My mom is a First Nation and as she grew up she was made fun of. She overcame the anger she felt inside toward other people. My mom moved to Toronto and made a life for herself and showed them that she was a good person.

My mom saved me from the adoption centre. My mom's actions were that she helps kids like me that were foster kids. My mom's accomplishments are that she adopted me and my brother. My mom works at Wal-Mart. My mom is a very brave and responsible.


My mom looks after me and my brother. She sends us to Cubs, she cooks us great meals. My mom influences me by teaching me right from wrong, helps me when I need it. I feel good about my mom and I love her.
