Momma Bear

by Anisya Perez from Burley, Idaho in United States

I think a hero is someone who is idealized for their courage and someone who has had great achievements in their lifetime. I have chosen my mother as my hero because she has affected my lifestyle in so many positive ways and she is the reason for me being here today. My mother is the most appealing person in my life. My mother is smart, beautiful, interesting, funny, and most of all she is loving, and she will always be there for me when I need her. A hero to me is not someone who is popular or famous, but a hero is someone who is an important member of my family. I also think about someone who is brave, strong, hardworking, trustworthy, and unselfish.

My mother's name is Cameo Castro. She has done many things for me, such as educating me and making me become the girl that I am today. She protects me from the negative things out in the world. My mom is my role model and she will always be my role model, and I would never exchange her for anyone else. She inspires me and encourages me to do my best in life. And I would say that my mom encourages me to do my best because she had it a lot harder than I do right now.

My mom is not only my hero but she is also a great wife, mother, and friend. She has been by my side for fifteen years and I know there are many more to come. Since birth I never wanted to hurt my mom because she had already gone through enough pain from the beginning. I have never met anyone who is so selfless like her. She has always put me first in life and she has done everything she could to be the best mother and give me the best life. I am beyond grateful to have my mother.

I love my mom and she has made me the happiest person I could be. And I could never live without my mother. My mom has taught me how to bake, and now I am very passionate about baking. She has also taught me my manners and the way to properly talk to my elders. My mother is not only my mom, she is also my best friend. My mom is my mentor, my rock, and my support system.

A mother’s love is rare and wonderful, and nothing can replace that space in our hearts. Mothers are professionals at multitasking, and they will juggle their own problems to listen to your problems. They are the people that will wake up to make us breakfast and go to sleep late at night until they know that we are home and safe in our beds. No matter what I do, what mistakes I make, and how much I upset her, she will always be there for me. I cannot wait until I have children of my own and I get to tell them the wonderful stories about my mother. I am not a mother but I know it could not be the easiest thing to do.
