THE ONE I CAN CALL MY HERO

               When we were kids, we always believed that heroes exist. We thought that a hero is someone with superhuman abilities, such as super strength, super speed, telepathy and invisibility. Even today, I still believe in heroes but my definition of a hero is quite different from that. In my own words, a hero is someone I can model myself after. Someone who can show me the way to what is right and what is wrong and someone who will always be there to help me get back on my feet when I fall. For me, the person I can proudly call my hero is no other than my mother. My mom is the kindest, funniest, and strongest person that I know and she has always been there to support me during good and bad times.
                           
            Though many people look up to those who are famous, I model myself after my mom because she always served as my inspiration. She has been setting morals and values for me to follow since I was a little kid. She was like a guide to help me choose the right path and she has been there to teach me to do my best and to never give up. She also listened to my problems and helped me solve them no matter what they were. Just her listening and giving advice is like being a best friend to me.                   
          
            She was always there to ensure the safety and best interest of our family. She provided our family with all of the things that we have needed. Parents nowadays have trouble raising their children. Some of them even gave up and just left their children to strive for themselves but my mom never left us and she always did her best to make us a happy and contented family.                   
                  
            Yes she is simple and she doesn't have superpowers but without my mom, I would not have become who I am today and I would never have achieved any of my dreams. I know that these simple words may not repay all the care and love my mother gave but I will always be there for my mom like she was there for me.
