My mother is my hero in my life. She is the one who gave life to me and the one who nurtured me. Her selflessness is the virtue which makes her a hero. The fighting spirit in her resembles a mother hen that protects her little chick from predators or harm, even if it meant to sacrifice herself. Her gentle voice also warms my heart as though i was tucked under a blanket of love. I admire my mother for her character and the fighting spirit in her. She has made me a better person and has taught me about never saying ‘die’.
When I was at the age of about 6, my mother was not coping well with the 3 young ones. It was not an easy task to take care of 3 children who are young and active. During that period of time, my father was usually at work. Thus, my mother was the only one who is at home taking care of us. However, there was always one thing among the young children that irritates my mother. It was attention seeking. Being young, I would seek attention from my mother as I was the eldest and the only girl in the family. However, I was not sensible enough to realise that I had cause my mother to suffer more. After giving birth to my youngest brother, my mother was already suffering from a slight post-natal depression.
However at that period of time, she did not find out that she had post–natal depression. She only knew that she did not feel good and that she would turn very nasty when she is irritated, but she tried to control herself and her condition did not stop her from taking care of us. She had sacrificed her job to be at home to take care of us. She has also sacrificed herself because even when she did not feel good, she would still push through.
When my mother told me about her experiences when taking care of us, I was inspired by her selflessness and determination. She has made an impact in my life. She has made me grow to be a more sensible person as I know that I need to cherish her, respect her and now, take care of her. She has also taught me to have the fighting spirit to never give up. The fight against all odds has made my mother a stronger person. Hence, I would also want to be a stronger person like her.
I cannot remember how my mother looked like when I was at the age of 6. However, I guess she would not have changed much over the last 10 years. She has almond-shaped eyes, pinkish lips and her hair is always short and neat. Occasionally, you would see her hair a little messy, as she had just finished doing her all household chores. I really love my mother. She is the one important person in my life. Without her is like without me, as I would not be the person I am right now. Therefore, she is my hero.
