Yashi

by Cesil from North Carolina

My hero is my mom. She is a very nice person and I look up to her. She was born in 1963 on Fiji island. She was the second youngest of her eight sisters. Her family owned a big store.

She got out of school at the age of 17 because she wanted to go work. She worked for many years, then came to America. She then married my dad and moved to CT. She then moved to NC and bought a motel and is still living there.

My mom has never given up on me and has always loved me. I look up to her because she had been working for such a long time. My mom has helped me with everything. She has always been there for me. That’s why she is my hero.
