My Michigan Hero
My Personal Michigan Hero
My michigan hero has always been supporting me and has been helping me through life so far, and without her I wouldn't be sitting here right now, my personal michigan hero is my mom. I chose my mom because she always supports me and my sisters even when times were rough she never gave up.
My mom is my hero because she is strong, smart, funny, and most of all tolerant. those features help my mom in many ways in the world of parenting. When it says strong it doesn't mean muscle but it's more bravery to help people and her children with no fear. She is also smart and knows what to when in tough situations and/or times. A more not serious feature is her sense of humor,it may not help her very much but it helps when we are feeling down and helps make friends. Her last but most

But she does a lot of good for us at home and some may think we are all butterflies and rainbows but the world doesn't work that way, we’ve had some bad things happen to us too that will be mentioned in the next paragraph. Finally to end the paragraph a thing that can be known about my dad is that he too is my hero and he does the same things my mom does but I couldn't mention him due to the “specific” hero rule and could not say “parents”. This paragraph is about the things that make my mom (and dad) my Michigan hero but first, like stated before our life isn't butterflies and rainbows but I once thought it once was but I found out what was happening when I believed my life was “perfect”. Turns out my mom works harder to support us than I thought, I also learned that we used to live on food stamps, and finally she (and my dad) had once saved me during an asthma attack when I was only 5 years old and at that age a attack like that could have killed me and then I wouldn't be sitting here right now and typing this

    The last reason he is my hero is he will always be one of the people I can ask a question to or just to come and hang out with. For example, last year I was helping him change the oil on his lawn tractor and he started it up and let it run for a couple of minutes. I got extremely confused, so I simply asked him why he was doing this. He explained how it is easier to change the oil when it is warm. That is just one more reason he is my Michigan hero.…
