Expository Essay: Explain why you consider someone your hero! Some people consider heroes to have super powers, like x-ray vision or bionic strength. In my opinion a true hero is a person who is smart, caring, and brave. She does not wear a cape or a mask; but my mom is a super hero to me. Always knowing the right thing to say or do in many situations; makes my mom one of the smartest people I know. I remember a time that I came home from school crying. It was a day that it just seemed like everything had gone wrong. I forgot my homework, got in trouble for talking, lost recess, and didn’t understand how to do my math assignment. My mother, who is truly a genius, sprang into action. First she found my homework that I had left on my desk. Then she reminded me to not talk during class and sat down and taught me a trick to understand my homework .This is just one example of why I consider my Mom a smart cookie and a hero. Even though my Mom is extremely busy with housework, cooking, and cleaning, she shows me that she cares for me by listening. She listens to my thoughts and feelings about different situations and helps me figure out how to handle things. Sometimes being a kid can be hard but she cares enough to give me her attention and care. I wonder if she knows that I consider her my hero. To wrap it up my Mom is a hero because she is very intelligent and always knows how to make me feel better. She may not fight crime or wear a crazy costume but she is my hero anyway! I wish that everyone has someone in their life that they feel this way about!
