My Mother

by Niko from Trnovo, Slovenia

A hero or heroine can be anybody in this world. Human hero can be a fire fighter, a policeman, a doctor… Heroes have the characteristics of a good person. Something that comes from the heart and the soul of a person. Heroes aren’t born, I believe they are made. So I choose my mother as my heroine.

A real hero is someone who faces everyday challenges bravely and lives with a smile despite the problems and shortcomings. Ten most prominent characteristics of a hero are bravery, courage, determination, dedication, endurance, perseverance, valor, selflessness, sacrifice and humility. My mom has got all of them. A day without her is a bit sad, but when I see her she just makes my day. Whenever I didn’t understand things, she helped me understand. She’s a hero also because she is cooking the most delicious food ever.

She is always giving me tips when I’m in a bad situation. She doesn’t like it when I play computer too much because she knows the consequences if you play too much computer. That’s why I play computer only three hours a week. She wants only the best for me; I know it and I feel it. There are so many reasons that make my mum a heroine that I don’t know where to start. What I can do is to treat her with gratefulness, respect, housework, help, kindness, love, good grades like and more.

All the things described that make my mom a hero are just the beginning. My mother is a true hero to me.
