Valeria is a very honest and just person, because she always respects everybody. I chose her because she is my mother and she gave me life, and if it hadn’t been for her I wouldn’t have been here. Sometimes she is very athletic. She likes to run. She often goes to the club to play tennis.

My heroine, Valeria, lives in Argentina, Buenos Aires. She lives with my father, Fabian, my brother, Ignacio, and with me, Camila. We have a dog, a Golden Retriever called “Ajax”.

Valeria is a very important person for me because she is very good and honest. She respects everyone she knows and the people she doesn´t know. She doesn’t work but she makes T-shirts and “ponchos” with other friends. She likes to play golf. My mother, my father, my brother and I sometimes go to play golf together. She also likes to travel to nice places.

This year, I read a book called “Number the stars” by Lois Lowry. The main character is called Annemarie. She is a heroine because she helps a Jewish friend escape from the Nazis that are “relocating” the Jewish. I compare this character with my mother because I think that my mother is a heroine by helping me every time I need help.

As a result I think that Valeria is my everyday heroine because she is always taking care of me. She is always checking if my school things are all right and organized. She is a very kind person. To sum up I love my mom. She is a very responsible woman.
