I was born in Anderson, Indiana, the first child and only daughter to a northern Pennsylvania-bred father and a southern-Louisiana mother. My family, and specifically the backgrounds of my parents, has had a profound impact on the person I am today. From my father, I inherited a strong work ethic and a determination to accomplish whatever I set out to do. My father was a teacher for many years and he instilled in me the importance of education and life-long learning. As a result, I’m still taking college courses and always looking to learn new things. From my mother, I got my sense of responsibility to family and to those around me. I have witnessed countless times when my mother reached out to people in their times of distress to help meet their material needs or just offer friendship and a listening ear. I

Weslaco is like my adopted mother. She gave my family and I a home when we were brought into the United States. I wish I could be like everyone else and say I was born here, however I was not. I was born in Mexico, the mother who couldn't give me the opportunities like Weslaco has given me. Through thick and thin, weslaco has always been there with me from the start. Not only was weslaco like an important person, but it was also the place where many significant events occurred that made the individual I am.
Horace is a famous Roman poet who states, “Adversity has the effects of elicting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dorment” – Horace. Horace is correct because adversity is something that challenges someone mentally or physically to their breaking point. When a person is at their breaking point
My final reason my mom is my personal Michigan hero is that she knows a lot of things to help me and that is really important for me, especially to help me with homework. For example, sometimes when I don't understand a question, most of the time she knows the answer. It's crazy sometimes the things that she knows saying that she's a German teacher. I'm glad she knows all these things because it is extremely helpful for me on homework. I am very thankful for this because it gets me better grades on
How would you imagine your hero? A hero to me would be someone who puts other’s needs before their own. For example, someone who gives a homeless person their jacket when it’s 25 degrees outside is a hero. Another example would be someone who has courage, meaning that they are brave enough to do what others won't, like Rosa Parks; she stood up for everyone who was treated unfairly even though she knew the possible consequences of her actions. My hero would also be someone who is caring and helpful in little ways like helping an older person carry their bags to their car or walking your neighbor's dog when they are too busy to do so. My mom, having all these characteristics, is my hero because she goes to work every day to make
Today I would like to introduce you to my hero who is an strong, elegant woman who has been a role model for me. Her name is Ethel Peashock. She is my Great Grandmother, whom is in her early 90’s. She was born on December 19, 1922. She has lived in Monessen, Pennsylvania almost all of her life. She is a strong woman who worked to help her family survive the Great Depression. She got her first job at the age of 15 working in a school lunchroom. She also ironed clothes and babysat. Then once she got done with her other jobs, she would clean her neighbor’s house for a quarter. During her childhood they had to grow a majority of their own food, and they had to jar food for winter. She told a story about how every Sunday all the kids that lived
When you think of a hero you think of Spiderman or Superman but I have another hero in mind. A hero is courageous, brave, puts someone before themselves, has humility, patience, and a lot of other qualities. My mom is My Michigan Hero. In this essay, I will tell you all about my mom.
An inspiration. A teacher. A friend. A role model. My mother. She gives me the courage to do things I once feared. She helps me enjoy the things I love. She provides me with all the love and compassion she can give. My mother is my role model. I could not imagine a world without her; someone who teaches me good from evil and wrong from right. Positive influences are essential in anyone's life. They could range from a parent or a sibling to a famous athlete or actor. In the dream the Lunas and the
The event that has shaped me into who I am today is that I am a big sister. I am a big sister to my brother and sister. It has helped me to become a better student in school and class. Having a brother and sister, though it has been a rollercoaster in my life, it has shaped me into who I am today in school and class. I was an only child until I was almost three when my little sister was born. A couple of weeks before I turned eight my little brother was born. They have impacted my life way more than they realize. Being an older sister has shaped me into the person I am today in school and class, because I’ve learned how to cope with different things, learned that people like to do things their own way and I have learned how to set a good example.
There have been many people in my life who have impacted it both negatively and positively, but no one has had an impact in my life greater than my mom. This woman is just amazing in my eyes, right from the beginning because of the way she raised me, if I had children I would raise them the same way she raised me. The person she is, in general, has really had a great effect in my life, and also how she has always told me about the struggles shes had in her life from the ones I didn't see to the ones I have seen with my own eyes. I believe if I didn't know my mother as well as I do, she wouldn't have influenced me as much as she does.
A hero is “Any person admired for qualities or achievements and regarded as an ideal or model” (“Hero”). When someone hears the word ‘hero’, they most likely think of firefighters, police officers, or soldier. However, the person who comes to my mind when I think of a hero is my mother, Becky Harper. She goes above and beyond each day, displaying characteristics of a hero. My mother can brighten up anyone’s day simply with the beautiful smile that is always on her face.
The Important people in your life can have a massive effect on your life and how you will live it. When I think of an important person in my life, my mind always wanders to my grandmother. She helps me and my family members whenever we need her. It could be a small favor like an extra couple dollars for lunch to a larger favor as in living with her for a couple years. My grandmother would also be my hero. She always does anything she can to ensure that I and everyone else in my family and her own friends are a safe and comfortable. She has also effected the way I have changed from the time I was a child to now. If she was not the person I know her to be then I guarentee that I would not be the same person I am today. When I was a child I did not care about the consistencies of things and now I understand that everything I do and change will end as something different. These are just a few reasons how my grandmother is not only the most important person in my life but also my hero and changed me to who I am today.
Most people in the world are different in many ways. In fact, some people say no human being on earth has the same fingerprints. On a similar topic, my parents are different in many ways also. Although my mother and father are different in the ways they act, live life, and discipline children, I love them both.
My mom, my sweet, gentle mom. My mom is like my sister, we love to talk
