My hero is my saver. My life. She's the strongest person I know. She protects me. She is always by my side. I know she will never leave me. I call this person my mom.

 My mom is my saver because she loves my brother and I so much that she wanted to give us a life in the USA. My dad had to leave the USA to go back to Mexico. We moved from our tiny apartment to go live with my cousins. It was a tiny room, but it was better than nothing.

My mom had a rough childhood. She had to quit going to school. After two years of high school, she had to quit and help her mom work. She left Mexico to go to the USA she was 24.

My hero is my saver. My life. She's the strongest person I know. She protects me. She is always by my side. I know she will never leave me. I call this person my mom.
