Whenever I talk about my hero, I am filled with pride! She inspires me by what she does and how she lives. This special person is mly aunt.

My aunt's name is Chen WanBing. She is thirty-six years old this year,but she looks younger than her age. My aunt is a successful businesswoman. She told me thai she started working and earning money for her family at the age of sixteen. She said that she was a rich lady already when she was eighteen, beacause she was really hardworking and had two jobs at the same time then.

In 1992, when my aunt was only 20 years old, she married my uncle. Later, my uncle opened a company and my aunt worked there as a worker. With her efforts, she became the accountant after a few years. In 2002, she finally became the general manager of the company.

Two years before, 2006, my aunt made an important decision. She decided to give up her business, send her sons go to Singapore to study, and company with them. The next year, I also came to Singapore and live with them up to now.

I admire my aunt most for the moral values she teaches us all the time. She alwalys tell us stories and her experiences that highlight the importance of values such as love, kindness and honesty. More importantly, she is the embodiment of such values, giving us practical examples to follow.

On 12nd May 2008, the SiChuan Earthquake had convulsed the whole world. As a Chinese, my aunt paid close attention to it! During that hard period, she sat in front of the television and watched news every night. She also donated one thousand dollars and lots of clothes which was unsuitable for her. Because of this, her sons and I also donated our pocket money to the Red Cross.

Moreover, I admire my aunt for her devotion to our family. In every thing she does, she expresses her love. Since I came to Singapore, she takes care of me everyday without any complaints. Especially since I got into government school, she drives all our kids to the nearby MRT stations from our different schools. Therefore, she needs to wake up at five-thirty in the morning. She is usually the first to get up and the last to go to bed; she always seems to be around when we need her.

Thus, we often try to show our appreciation of her by doing some of the housework and getting goog result from examinations. We also never fail to celebrate her birthday with her. On that day. we do not allow her to do any housework, we would take them on ourselves. My uncle will also come to Singapore and take us out for dinner to round off the day.

I consider myself lucky to have such a responsible guardian in Singapore. I will respect her in my heart forever. She is the one whom I would not exchange for all the wealth in the world!
