My mom has been through a lot with me she got me healthy even if she was sick during the time I was a baby, She has helped me with my reading and writing disability and has pushed me to do my best. She is a strong confident woman that is loving she loves to attend to people and has a great smile. She has shown me that even if times are hard you have to bring your head up and raise it high. I maybe a mama’s boy but my mom is one of my greatest role models and people I admire.

From working several jobs at a time to make sure I had everything I needed, she became the reason why I was raised the way I raised. The lesson that “ I should treat everyone like the most important person in the world because I will never know when I might need them” was engraved in my head was owned by my mother. Sometimes she would tell me that she had holes in her socks and I knew it was due to most of her money going towards my private school tuition in order for me to be able to have the best education I could get. My mother is my background, my identity, interest, and talent. She is truly the one that has set me up for success, regardless of how fatigued or overworked she is. She is the person who truly defines who I am and who I have become to this

As we grow up throughout life, we hold onto many heroes as they have impacted our life. Looking into my personal life, my hero consists of my mother, Darla Linden. She defined a hero as “a person stepping up in a situation without thinking they also are in harm 's way”(Linden, Darla). Throughout my lifetime my mom has been there for me since day one and has helped nurtured me.. She sacrifices many things for myself and for my family by providing us with our daily needs. I can always count on her to point me in the right direction by pursuing my dreams and wishes. I admire her caring heart and faithfulness the most because she would drop anything instantly to help someone else in need. She supports me in all of my extra curricular activities and motivates myself to bring out my full potential. I get inspired by her courageous character by never backing down to a challenge and always finishing through. When I asked my mom who she picked as her hero she said, “the service men and women of all branches who fight for our country”(Linden, Darla). They provide us with safety by sacrificing

Sweet, fun, smart, and spunky are just a few of the words that come to my mind when I think about Alyssa Tirado. Alyssa was born on August 23rd, 2001 to Jeffrey and Danielle Tirado in Deltona, Florida. She also lived in St. Augustine before she moved to Naples in 5th grade. Alyssa has a great relationship with her older brother Julien who she looks up to. She is new at FBA this year, but is very social and has made many friends. Alyssa is an amazing cheerleader and has cheered since she was in 5th grade. She cheers for both the football team and basketball team. When she graduates high school, Alyssa plans on attending USF and becoming a radiologist. Alyssa likes to spend her free time at the beach, shopping, and with her boyfriend Daniel Marquina.

Many people say that you must have plenty in common with someone in order to be their best friend. However, in the novel Finnie Walsh by Steven Galloway, this is not the case. Finnie and Paul have a few things in common, such as their passion for hockey, but they were (for the most part) complete opposites. Paul's family has a struggle with money throughout the duration of the novel, while Finnie's family is quite wealthy. After Mr.Woodward's accident, Finnie is struggling to escape the guilt; meanwhile, Paul is able to let it go. Finnie is a risk taker along with being very outgoing; but on the contrary, Paul is very timid and takes everything in stride. Paul and Finnie have few things in common;

My mom is my Michigan hero. She motivates me to work hard in everything I do. For example, she makes me do my homework with her so she knows I try my hardest. She works very hard for our family, as well as my dad. She's taught me that even if I don’t enjoy something I should still try my hardest, because who knows, maybe I will end up liking it later on in life. An example of this is when she told me to try dirt biking, and I ended up falling in love with it. Sometimes we would just sit on our deck, and talk for a while. My mom does tons of things for me. For example, she makes me breakfast, lunch, and dinner. She also does my laundry and packs me food for school. She says that I can achieve any goal if I work hard enough at it. She supports

Growing up in a small town, it is encouraging to see successful people stem from the same place. Success can be defined in different ways. Most people from my town consider moving to a bigger city and never coming back a success. My cheer coach, Kimberly Truitt, is living proof that success can be defined as growing as a person and overcoming hardships. As a teenager, she atteneded the very same high school that I currently attend, Abbeville High School, where she was also a varsity cheerleader. Ms. Truitt grduated in YEAR and took the first step in becoming what is traditionaly considered a successful person in our town. She went to college in a different state, Florida A & M University. While attending Florida A & M, she pledged Delta Sigma

Mothers show tremendous grit throughout their lives. Grit can be defined as courage or strength in character. My mom grew up with 6 other siblings while they lived on a farm. While having 3 other siblings, I thought that was hard, I couldn’t even imagine having 6. She grew up and went to college becoming a special needs teacher, she got her masters in 2012. She loves everyone and never has a bad attitude. She always forgives and forgets. She has moved from Michigan, to Texas, to Ohio, back to Michigan, and finally Indiana where we have lived the past 15 years.

A great poet makes the reader feel connected and inside the poem. Shakespeare, Frost, and Angelou all encompass the great qualities of a wonderful writer, because readers are taken on a trip. Much like the Shakespeare, Natasha Trethewey, used “experience” to write poems that take readers on an adventure through the lives of 1912 New Orleans prostitutes. She gives these women identities. These normally shunned women were given families, backstories, and most importantly, emotions. She took what people consider the scum of society and turned them into normal women, who have doubts and insecurities. She manages to make women these women human. In this specific collection of poems, the focus is on Ophelia, a young woman who has to deal with a father

Beginning in the late 1800’s, the feminist movement grasped third world females by the arm and dragged them along the never ending fight for equality. The fight for the equality of the sexes has accomplished many victories from granting women the right to vote in 1920 to banning female genital mutilation in Nigeria just this year. Feminism brought numerous inequalities to light in the past years, but one of the most underrated struggles fought by females of all ages everyday often gets overlooked. Young girls still face large amounts of inequality in the classroom.

She was not the most perfect person but her personality and the way she talked made everyone want to be like her. Anyone she talks to can hear her talk for hours. Growing up she did not have an easy life style. She struggled often but she always made the best out of everything. She cherished her life and all the little things that came with it. She always worked hard for everything she wanted and needed and I looked up to her because of that. I yearned for her life. Middle age women living in the big beautiful city of opportunity and working for the department of health in New York. That was everything I wanted.

I look up to my mother, just as Walt looked up to his father. My mother is intelligent shown through her ability to go to UCSD and also through the fact that she was able to go to China just as it was being opened up to foreigners and live there for multiple years. She is also good at conserving money, as implied when she went to Europe with around two-thousand dollars and managing to stay there for several months as she traveled throughout. Her ability to conserve money sets a good example for me and helps to show me that frugalness is the best way to travel, and to live. So all in all, my mother has set a great example for me, and allowed me to understand the usefulness of being

“You are my person. You will always be my person,” said Cristina Yang to her best friend Meredith Grey in the 12-year long tv show, Grey’s Anatomy. Although they both have husbands of their own, they think of each other as soul mates because of their close relationship and their care for one another. This is exactly the kind of care towards others that Naomi Shihab Nye, the author of “Shoulders,” strives for in our world. The theme of the poem is that people need to care for the ones they love, and Nye describes this throughout the poem through her use of sound devices, figurative language, and imagery.

My mother is the most enthusiastic, sagacious, and curious minded person I know. She follows her dream despite what other people say, or how long it might take. In order to continue being a doctor, my mom had to redo her residency and her fellowship in the U.S. That takes enormous sacrifice, and on top of that, she is a single mother of a 14-year-old kid. I admire her for this because any day she could go to back to Mexico and still be a doctor without redoing anything, but she chooses to stay in the U.S. so we can be in a safer environment. Most children inherit physical traits from their parents, but what I inherited from my mom is something that cannot be learned. A hunger for knowledge, a curious mind, and a craving for success. Thanks

The third aspect I admire in my mother is her generosity. She is always buying things for others. We aren’t a rich family by any means, but she is always giving. Just a few weeks ago my mother’s friend was talking about not being able to afford a new winter coat for her son. That night my mother went out and bought him one. Then about a month ago my mother heard about a woman who is a recovering drug addict.
