My hero is my mother. She is the nicest, sweetest, and most caring person I know. She was a nurse until she became a stay-at-home mom. That way, she could be around her three children, including myself, at all times. She made sure she gave us all as much attention as we needed and was always supportive of our academic, athletic, and social lives. There has never been a moment when she hasn't been available for me to talk to and she always knew how to cheer me up if I was feeling sad. She has taught me to become a compassionate and caring person. Because of her, I treat people how they would want to be treated. Like my mother, I give love and in return, I get love. She was my hero growing up and as I go further into adulthood, I know one day I am going to be just like her.
