Personal Essay On My Michigan Hero

Improved Essays
Rough Draft
My Michigan Hero is my mom. Her name is Kristin Herman, and she inspires me in way no one else can or will. She has 3 kids; me, my 6 year old sister, and my 17 year old sister. Handling all three of us is definitely a challenge, and she does that excellently. My mom always makes sure to put us as her first priority and make sure we are happy, even if she isn’t. I would not be able to handle everything like she does. No matter the circumstances she is always there for me and my sisters. I know even if all of my friends left I would still have a best friend. My mom has amazing artistic abilities, and she is also intelligent. She loves music the way I do, which is where I get it from. When she encounters a problem she has her own way

If I didn’t have my mom in my life, first of all, I wouldn’t be alive. Secondly, I would be nowhere near where I am today. My mom has helped me throughout my whole life; from helping me with solving 2+2, to helping me with algebra. From helping me read, to helping me pick out specific words to take out of an essay. Without my mom in my life, I wouldn’t know what to do in certain situations. She is more like my best friend. She can always tell when there is something wrong and knows just the way to make everything better. My mom has taught me how to handle situations, educationally, and has also helped me focus on my future. She likes to check in with me and ask me thing like how school is going, what I am interested in, and if I need any help figuring things out. How much my mom cares for me and my sisters means a lot to me, and if I didn’t have this in my life I would feel like I have only a little amount of people that truly care for me. All of these qualities make my mom my hero. She is intelligent, caring, loving, and cares for her children like she cares for no one else. She inspires me to do my best at everything and to never give up. If I feel like quitting, sometimes I will ask myself what she would do in a situation

    My personal Michigan hero is my father. For this essay I chose my father because all my life I have looked up to him, even when I was too young to realize it, because my dad has guided me through life, teaching me valuable life lessons and will always be there for me and my family. My dad has changed so much in his life for my brother and I, spent hours for a day for years raising us to be the people we are today and I could never repay that. At a young age my father’s parents divorced, and he did not see his real father often because he was in the Coast Guard.

    A. Autobiographical Statement My mother was the first and only person in her family to graduate from college, which has always been an inspiration to me. She was an abused wife on food stamps, raising two children on her own while my father was incarcerated. I will always remember when she told me that life was like a lotus flower; we may start by growing in the mud but each day we can choose to bloom above the water into a beautiful flower. It was then that I understood my childhood was not my choice, but how I choose to live the rest of my life was. My mother never wavered in her faith that if I wanted to do something in my life the only thing that could hold me back was myself.…

    (Seriously, I tried writing the list down and lets just say, more than one piece of paper was needed). She has influenced my life to be the best with her constant support, making me hope to one-day come close to being just like her. As I see her get up every morning to go to work, even on the most awful of days, she does her duties for the family she is trying to support. This in turn motivates me to be the best, not for myself, but for my mom. I hope to one day make her proud of the woman I have become, from the choices I have made, to the academic and athletic feats I have accomplished.…
