The Hero Case

My mom may not be able to fly, read minds, or have x-ray vision, but she's the closest thing to a superhero I will ever know. My mom is my hero. I have such a close relationship with my mother, proabably closer then a lot of other girls, because we have been through such hard times together. She's so smart, extremely sweet, and super athletic.

My mom is the smartest person I know. She loves to learn and she does all that she can to learn as much as she can. She will go to great lenghts to learn more. She even made us move to Scotland so she could go to college for a year over there and learn all about their culture. Now, my mom wasn't the smartest person in high school. She even said herself, " I was wild, crazy, and very concerned about my social life. I didn't even think about grades back then". After high school, my mom decided to go to nursing school. She worked as a nurse for a big hospital in Dallas for a few years, before she decided to move down here. She stopped working for a while to go to college. She decided to go to UTSA. She stayed in school for 4 years and got her Bachelors in Psychology and Philosophy. Then she got an offer to go to graduate school in Scotland. It only took one year in Scotland for her to get her Masters in Philosophy. She wanted to get her PhD but we couldn't stay there for more then a year on our visas. When we got back to the states my mom soon realized there really wasn't anything to do career wise for someone who had a Masters in Philosophy so she decided that she wanted to get her Masters in Social Work because she loves helping others. When we got back to the states she started working as a nurse again part-time while she went back to school. She still has one more year to go before she completes the course. She only goes to school on Thursday nights this year. She knows so many things about so many different subjects, which make her extremely smart. However, she doesn't always make rational decisions. She is very impulsive, but she knows this and is working on it. Just because she is a little impulsive, she is still very smart nonetheless. My mom is smart, but she is also super sweet to everyone she meets.

My mom is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet, most of the time. Occasionally she can have a little mean streak to her, but everyone has that sometimes. My mom does a whole lot of volunteer work. She loves to help out with as much as she can. She does a lot of volunteer work at the Wounded Warriors hospital in San Antonio. She also likes to take a whole group of the warriors kayaking every other week. The warriors greatly appreciate her because without her they wouldn't have anyone to take them kayaking like she does. She also does volunteer work with kids. Recently, she put on a whole career day festival by herself at Freiheit elementary school. She told me the kids absolutely loved it. My mom got a lot of her friends
