My Mother Is My Hero

My Mother Is My Hero
Marisa Combs

The other day while walking to class, the song "Somebody's Hero" by Jamie O'Neal came on Pandora. The song is about how much the singer loves her mother and their relationship over the years. It is an older song and I have heard it so many times, but for some reason, that day it just got me feeling a little bit more emotional. It could have been the fact that I was just having a bad day, or just simply missing my mom. I just started my second year of college, no matter how much older you get, you will always grow to appreciate and even sometimes miss her. My mom and I have always been very close, she is my role model,and not ashamed to admit that she my best friend.

As we grow up and go through this crazy thing called life, we hold on to our inspirations and motivators. A hero is someone that inspires you to do your best, someone that you an look up to and someone that truly understands you.

I am not ashamed by any means, My mom is my hero. She is my mentor, my rock and my support system. A mother's love is rare and wonderful; nothing can replace the space that fills our hearts. She has been nothing but influential and the center of my universe. She never fails to force a smile on my face and inspire me to be the best person I can be.

Mom, I want you to know that I am so thankful to have you in my life. I only hope to be half the woman that you are and I’d like to dedicate this to you for being the strongest and most incredible woman I know.

She sacrifices her time for me.

Perhaps there are times of frustration our moms go through, but give them a break. All they want is the very best for you. My mother is a professionals at multitasking, she juggles her problems, work and being there for my family at all times. She's the person that will wake up before dawn to make breakfast and go to sleep well past sunset just to make sure I'm home and in bed safe. She's the person when I am having a panic attack in the library at 1 am that I can call. Even though they’re tired, she still manages to go about the day with a smile on her face.

She loves me unconditionally.

No matter what I do, what mistakes I make, what I say, or how much I upset her, her love for me will never subside. It will always be unconditional. We live in a world where sometimes we don’t realize how hurtful our words can be. Although she might take it to heart when I tell her I don't need help with something. She is still going to love you no matter what. Let’s face it, she puts up with my crap. No matter how big the fight or disagreement, I can always count on her to resolve the issue. Open your heart and drop the resentments because your mom would much rather hug it out and put it in the past. Her smile is contagious and you can’t help but cave in when you see it.


I could possibly write a novel about how blessed I am to call my mom, mom. All in all, I love my mom to death. she is my hero and who I want to be when I grow up.

Thank you mom, for being everything to me, always.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
