A hero doesn’t always wear a cape. Mine wears a badge. My hero is my mom. She’s experienced heartbreak and tragedy, but she powers through it all. My mom grew up in Springport, MI with her Mom( Carol Caudill), Dad(Don Caudill), and her brother (Tim Caudill). She is sort of short with dark, brown hair. While my mom was in high school many tragic things happened to her, but the worst of all of those things was her Dad being diagnosed with leukemia. At a young age of 21, her Dad passed away. My mom is caring, hardworking, a fighter, and most importantly she is my hero.
One of the qualities that makes my mom my hero is that she is very supportive. While I was in a wheelchair after my surgery for about two …show more content…
months, she encouraged me to stay positive about not being able to play football that year. She comes to all my school events such as band concerts, games, conferences, and sits through all of them never bored. She also drives me to and from football practice mostly everyday of the week. She is persistent to make sure my sister and I get A’s and to always do our homework. Getting kids do to work is tough, but she keeps with us and makes sure we are working hard in academics, school sports, and life. One of the things she insists we do is to be kind to everyone we know and who we meet.
Along with being supportive, she is also hardworking.
After she and my dad were divorced, my mom had to be a single parent. My mom takes overtime anytime she gets to pay for fun things for my sister and I. Even though she is tired from a long day, she makes dinner every night and cleans the house. My mom also volunteers for lots of things such as planning and setting up the Sheriff's golf outing every year. She drives us everywhere we need to go and all those reasons and more is why my mom is a hardworking person.
My last and final reason is that my mom fights through tough times. Her dad dying wasn’t the only tragedy to happen to her. Before I was alive, my mom had a miscarriage. Just this year 3 of her friends/ co-workers have committed suicide just this year. All the pain she has experienced at work and in life is unimaginable. Although all these things have been hard on her, she powers through the tough times. She puts a smile on her face and fights through the heartbreak.
My mom is supportive, hardworking, a fighter, and most importantly she is my hero. I hope to be half the person she is one day and more. I could not live my life without her. She fights through the tough times and is never weak. If everyone was as kind and caring as my mom, the world would be a paradise. A hero doesn’t always wear a cape. Mine wears a
badge.
