My Mother is a True Hero for Me

For me my personal hero is my mother. She is always keeping an eye out on me, and has taught me the fundamentals to life. My mother has instilled into me how to properly interact with people. Yet most importantly she provided me a life that anyone could ask for. Years and years she has been patient, kind, loving, all while teaching me how to be a man. She always does her best to set me up with the best possible opportunities to succeed, and I am eternally grateful.

My mother is the person that taught me how to say things like; ''thank you'' and ''you're welcome''. She is my hero because with her foundation I am blessed to be able to live a very happy and fruitful life. From as young as I can remember she was always persistent with what she was teaching me. Either from saying the alphabet or learning simple addition she was always persistent. That really did makes things stick.

Especially at a young age my mother was consistent about what was right from wrong. When wrong decisions were made there were consequences for my actions, so as a child I used to get spanked with leather belts. Every time I did something that wasn't right I would get one spanking. And as a child I remember getting a whole lot of spankings! Guess I wasn't too quick of a learner! Looking back at it, being taught that consequences come with certain actions really did help me stay out of trouble. It made me rethink and realize the world we live in.

Although my mother was my mother, she was my mentor. Everyday teaching something new, but a lot of the times I learned by watching her interact with people. Thats where I got a lot of my communication skills because as a young child I specifically remember being inside Walmart seeing my mother interact with these different people. I remember her using manners like ''thank you'' and ''you're welcome'', and she was trying to instill those manners into me and I don't think I really understood until I started seeing my mother use her manners out in public. My mother set a good example for me growing up and made it easy to follow in her steps. Her great communication skills also came along with that.

Through all of her actions since I was a baby everything she has taught me I could have not asked for a better of upbringing into this life. She wants me to have nothing but the best and always does whats best for me. She is the reason I am who I am today. She is my hero for giving me everything I need in life to succeed, I would've been clueless without her.
