Your Everyday Hero: Angela R.

Looking through the values I saw so many that described my mom, starting with ambition and going down the list. Not one but all describe my mother. She is truly a hero in my eyes, not like Hercules, but one that a lot of people would take for granted everyday. A mom that dedicates her life to her children. My dad is gone in the war and she is trying to go back to college and still raise two girls in the house. I admire her in every way. She never gives up; she is always there and she is always leading my little sister and me in the right direction. She teaches me the meaning of family. She inspires many people everyday with the simple things she does. She helps out at my school and makes sure we have everything we need. She has had to start over so many times because of the military moves - decorating the house, finding a school, etc. I think she's the #1 hero in all of the state in Wisconsin and we will always love her!
