My hero is my mother, for many reasons. First of all, she is the strongest person that I know, and she keeps her head up high no matter what the situation may be. I look up to my mom, and one day I hope to be able to achieve the many outstanding characteristics of which she has. Since I can remember, she has been my role model and will always be until the day I die. My mom is always looking out for my brother and I, and she would put our lives ahead of hers in a heartbeat. She never thinks about herself, but rather tries to help and care for others whenever necessary. Even in hard times, my mother stays positive and is always worrying about the well-being of others instead of herself. She never likes to see me or my brother upset or stressed, and she is always putting a smile on our faces. My mom is my hero in every way possible, and I can’t imagine it being anyone else.
