It is important to recognize the efforts of unsung heroes because it is a way of letting them know that we appreciate them. That is what I am doing. Showing my appreciation for my hero. A hero is someone who thinks of others and helps others in troubling times. A hero is also someone who helps others achieve their goals. My hero is my mom, Kelly. She is an administrative assistant at Southeast Academic Center. I chose my mom as my as my hero because she is there for me, she makes sure I am all right, and will always love me no matter what.
