My Hero

MY HERO
My hero is my mom because she never gives up, takes on the responsibility of three kids, and teaches me that I can be independent. She got a divorce and had a heart attack and survived it. Here are some reasons why my mom is my hero; first, she never gives up. When we were in Illinois we were struggling she moved us up to Michigan. Next, she got divorced in 2010. She had to take on the responsibility of three kids and had to learn it all herself. When she had a heart attack she was getting better but some days she hurt. Now she is in better shape and that proves that she is strong and powerful. There are the four reasons why my mom is my hero.
