At the mere mention of the word “hero”, we will usually think they are the ones who have superpowers and often save the world by fighting against the evil villains. However, I will think of an extraordinary woman, my mother, who has not only given me my life, but has also taken care of me.
My mother has long and beautiful hair. She is not very tall. Because we have the same height, others always thought that we are sisters and will ask my mother how come she has a younger sister. Oh, my goodness! How embarrassing it is.
My mother is a hard working sales representative, so her boss transferred her from China to Singapore. Because of her job, I have this good opportunity to study in Singapore. Knowing that we are not rich, my mother always burn the candle of both end. Nevertheless, financial condition improved quite a lot. Due to her good performances, her company rewarded her a free trip to Canada. That is why I could join her as a guest to the beautiful Victoria Island in Canada. During the award ceremony, I felt very proud for my mother when she went to the stage to receive her prize.
My mother always helps me in my studies. No matter how busy she is, whenever I ask her some science questions, she will stop her works right a way to help me. Sometimes when I do not know how to solve certain math problems, she will explain to me again and again patiently until I really understand. How great she is!
My mother always takes good care of me. One time, I caught a bad cold and had a high fever, she sat at my bedside and made sure I took the medicine punctually. She fed me some porridge and would often check my temperature. Because of her great care and love, I recovered extremely fast.
There is another occasion when I was only eight. It was raining cats and dogs in the afternoon. I was waiting for my mother to pick me up from school. After half an hour, all the students left school except for me. I felt alone and wished someday would lend me a helping hand and an umbrella too. One minute...two minutes…five minutes…fifteen minutes had passed. My cheeks became wet-a mixture of raindrops and my tears. Suddenly, I saw her running towards the school. At that moment, I felt both happiness and frustration. When she passed me the umbrella, I shook my head in anger and shouted at her, “Look, Mum you make me wait for forty-five minutes!” “Sorry yu xin, I am late because of the traffic jam and also preparing some hot ginger soup for you. I cannot arrive on time.” She replied. On the way home, we shared one umbrella. However, the fact is that she let me have the whole umbrella and did not mind getting drenched. I cried for her loving kindness toward me.
A hero does not have to be someone that has superpower and saves many people. Those who never have superpowers can also be heroes. They can be your parents who take good care of you, they can be your teaches who teach you a lot of knowledge, heroes can also be your friends who help you are facing some obstacles in your life. On the other hand, someone with superpowers may abuse the powers and destroy the world viciously and hurt others severely. That is not being hero.
