My mom is my hero. She is the strongest, hardest working, most caring individual I know. She is independent and brave and has raised my sisters and I to be like that as well. She shows us what it means to work hard and to never give up. Even with all of the scary, sad, and hard situations she went through she never became callous. My mom cares so deeply about people and tries to help every chance she can. She’s the person who buys Christmas presents for little kids who won’t have any or delivers food every week to a family whose mom had surgery. She has raised me be able to count on myself, to be strong, independent, and to never stop caring, which is why she is my hero.
