Personal Narrative-My Mom Is My Hero
My hero is my mom. My mom is a person who has many responsibilities, but is always willing to give her time to help others. She always understands what I am going through. She knows what’s it like being a fifteen year old and going through high school. She is always there for me when I need help with homework or advice on how to do a presentation or studying for a final. She tells me what are the best things to do and the bad things not to do about relationships, friendships, and in school. “Everyone in this world makes mistakes, no one’s perfect, but if you put in the effort to try and do your best, that’s all that counts.” This is the quote my mom told me once and told me to always remember it because it is something that will help me with life. My mom has given a lot of …show more content…
Sometimes I tell her to just stop working and just focus on school, but she knows that her kids are so important to her that she is willing to give up some hours of sleep to give others happiness. If everyone is willing to sacrifice something to give others around us happiness, it would give many people opportunities they’ll never encounter. Being open-minded, makes my mom unique because giving an ear to hear about what others have to say can always lead to great friendships. My mom has always been a hero to me.She has done so much for me ever since I was born and mostly ever since she went back to school. She always tells me that she is going back for my siblings and I. To show us that she, a mother of four and as a person who wasn’t born here in the United States, can accomplish anything if she can put her mind set to then she can and is still willing to give up her time to care and nourish her family as much as she can. Learning all these advice from my mom, I want to pass these on to friends, family, and people around

    There are many definitions of the word ‘hero’ but Dictionary.com defines a hero as a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities, a person who, in the opinion of others, has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal, the principal male character in a story, play, film, etc. While growing up, I can remember many instances where we were asked to write about and describe who we felt our ‘hero’ was. The common and cliche answer amongst many people is “my mom.” Under the dictionary definition I don’t know that all of my classmates moms, including my own, are heroes.…

    One kind of hero that exists all over the world is the everyday hero. The person that I consider my everyday hero is my mother. The qualities that make her my hero are her way of doing things, and also how she sacrifices herself for me. For example, she is responsible and shows her stronger side in front of us when we are facing difficult times. Also she is so lovely that almost everyone likes her when they meet her. She always says to me that her duties are to look after me but at the same time to give me the freedom to make mistakes and find bright sides of my mistakes. The way that she influences me is that I see that sometimes she leaves what she is doing for her to take care of me. Even though many people argue that heroes are not real, I will disagree with them because I believe that everybody has a hero who protects them and looks after them.…

    The definition of a hero could be someone who you idolize, someone who does something commendable and significant (either for you personally, the world, or both), someone who affects life in a positive way and is a valuable addition to the world and/or someone who possesses admirable qualities. If any aspect of that definition applies to you then there is a great chance that you are a hero to somebody. Alyce Putnam, my great grandmother on my mother’s side, is my hero. At 94 years of age, she is the oldest grandparent that I have. She’s my hero for a multitude of reasons, some of which include the qualities she possesses and her daily actions. She inspires me due to how she has handled complex and different situations in her life and makes…

    My heart is pounding in my chest as I am in complete awe as I realize that finally she is coming. It is one of the most thrilling events that has ever happened to me in my entire life. I don’t think one can ever be completely ready for what I was about to endure as well as the pain my body was about to be put through. The pain begins to become more alarming as stronger waves of torment flows throughout my body down to the deepest core of my being. I have to say no matter how many books or classes I have taken, nothing could prepare me for what was about to happen next. It is not something that one could ever be mentally qualified for until it is actually happening. Fourteen hours of agonizing discomfort and yet we are still waiting for her to enter into this nonsensical, yet wonderful world. At that moment, I realize once she arrives she will be completely dependent on me.…

    My mother’s parents would always share stories with us about how their parents came to America from Italy and Germany. They would bring out old photo albums and tell us all about how different life was for them and how they held on to family cooking recipes and every Christmas we make the same dishes that their parents would make. My father’s parents would also share stories about Ireland and my grandpa would talk about what he experienced when he was in the war. Unlike the family I interviewed, I was brought up in a Christian household. Every Sunday the whole family would attend church together and then go out to eat after to talk about what we had learned. We would also pray every night before bed and were always told to give thanks throughout the day for the life we have been blessed with.…

    I have been a mom since I was 17 years old so I only was able to enjoy my pre baby body for a few short years, before I had my son I was always thin and never had to worry about exercising or what I was eating. I had no idea what healthy eating or exercise even was! After I had my son I had 3 more children and everything went downhill from there. I had gained over 50lbs and I was waiting for it to come off and it never did. I even went to the extreme to go on a resale site and sell all of my size 2 jeans because I told myself I was going to be this weight forever. I did not know where to go and who to turn to. I felt lost. I tried to eat healthy for a few weeks and would always give up I had no idea what to buy or what to make and there was…

    When I was about six years old, my mom went into a psychic’s shop. My mother was afraid of nothing, but having never been to one, you could tell she was nervous. The lady was older, she had a kind face and a kind smile. She read my moms palms and talked about the recent stress my mother was under, as it does fall on a newly single mother. When it came to my mother's children, she told her 4 futures, one for each of my sibling and myself. One would become a lawyer, one stay home and would start a family, one would travel far from home, and one would be famous. This was a topic of argument in our family and we still can't decide who is who. I only knew one thing in my life: I had to be the one to travel far away.…
