My hero

My mother is my hero. There are several reasons why I look up to her. First, she is a good model. She always shows my brother and me how to do something before she teaches us something. For example, she makes us to read books and to study because she always read books and study everyday. Second, she is a responsible person because she went to university and take care my brother and I at the same time. Everyone who is my father, grandmother, grandfather, uncle, aunt, I, and even neighborhood thought that was impossible. However, she did it. Finally, she has an obvious dream. When I was 13 years old, my mother was pregnant. At that time, she wanted to go to university. She is a writer, but she didn’t graduate from university, so she thought she didn’t study enough. However, at that time, my father and I thought she was too late, because she was 39 years old, but she decided to go to university, and decided that although she has a little baby who was 1 year old. Now, she has graduated and she even became a professor. I want to be like a person who is my mother. I promised myself that I will show good behavior everyday, have responsibility, and do my best for my dream.
