Why My Mother Is My Hero (Essay Example)

What makes a hero? A hero is someone who is admired or idealized for their bravery, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. There are many people in our lives that we consider role models or "heroes". My mother is my hero because she not only takes care of her family but also takes care of strangers, doesn't hesitate to help those in need, and can face difficult challenges and always finds a way out like the hero "Odysseus" in Homer's story.

Like many heroes known today, usually we hear about them helping or saving others from difficult situations. Not only does my mom care for her family, but she also cares for people that she doesn’t know. My mother has done many things to help the community like picking up trash, has given food to the homeless, and she even gives out workout lessons. Like the goddess “Athena” my mother is also very intelligent and wise. She has given me plenty of advice on my life situations that I've had a hard time sorting through.

As seen in comic books and movies, when a citizen is in trouble the hero never hesitates to swoop down to save them. Many times my mom has helped people without thinking the whole situation through. The way she thinks is she needs to think and act fast. Even when things don't go as planned, she still thinks about how much more she benefited that person from when they started.

Lastly, like in “Odysseus”, he goes through many difficult obstacles that takes him off track a bit. But in the end he finds a solution or a way out of every problem and eventually gets back home.  From time to time my mom can go through something but still have a smile on her face and figure out a solution. She’s never been the type of person to let people see when she’s at her weakest. She analyzes the problem and tries her best to solve it.

In conclusion, heroes are people who influence others or do brave actions to help others. The hero can be anyone, be it a family member or a close friend. My mother is my hero because of her brave actions and the fact that she can face many difficult challenges while finding her way. There are role models in your life that can help you improve your behavior.
