When I was 8 years old, I went through something most 8 year olds don’t go through. My father passed away on January 18th, 2001 and it was a very difficult time in my life. The only person I had to look up to at that time in my life was my mom. She has raised me by herself and has always put me before her needs. She has been a mother and a father to me my entire life, and that’s what truly makes me look up to her in many of ways. I can go to my mom for anything that I need, or that I’m struggling with. She has made sure I have had the best of things and works very hard for the things I need. She is not only my mom; she is also my best friend. She tells me daily that there’s nothing in the world that is ever to big that we can’t get through together.
I believe a hero is somebody you can look up to in certain aspects of your life and follow their guidelines to live up to their perspectives. I can honestly say my Mother has been my hero my entire life. My mom has helped me through many rough times in my 17 years of life. I truly believe that if it wasn’t for my Mom, I wouldn’t be the respectful and appreciative person I am today. She has truly been there for me my entire life, and I look up to her for that and one day I want my kids to look up to me in that sort of way.
My mom has given me self esteem and encouragement to goals that I want to fulfill in my life. She has always told me that I can do anything that I set my mind to. The encouragement she has given me makes me want to go far in my life and take every chance I possibly can to better myself. My mom has taught me to deal with many curve balls that have been thrown my way. She always tells me that “When life serves you lemons, make lemonade” which means to me, make any negative situation a positive one. So in saying that, I always look up to my mom because she always tends to give great advice that helps me with each situation in my life.
Although that my moms expectations are set high
