Torrey Cook

by Levi Cook from Laguna Niguel

My hero is one that almost everyone has. To me a hero is someone that has made a difference in your life or someone else's. Someone you think has made a positive impact on the world, whether huge or tiny. My mom is my hero. My mom has always been there for me and always loves me, no matter what.

I do martial arts and when I was in black belt prep, preparation to test for black belt, I had many times where I wanted to quit. I felt like it was too much. My mom was there to encourage me that I was doing well and convinced me that I was doing well. My mom was there to help me push through.

My mom has always been there for me academically. In 4th grade I struggled in math. Instead of just doing boring practice problems she made a game out of it. My dad, mom and I were each a team and we made word problems. She has also helped me in English with my writing and social studies.

Last, my mom is a hero because of how hard she works every day to make my family and friends' lives better. Moms everywhere are all heroes because of how much they do every day, how hard they work to make us happy. My mom is always helping someone and being encouraging, whether it’s me or anyone else. All moms are heroes, each in their own special way.
