Why my mom rocks

My mom is one of my favorite person in the world. Let me tell you why. My mom always helps me when I need it. Especially in 4th grade and 7th grade. I was one of the kids that had lots of trouble and did not work as well as the other kids. I always needed help during both of those grades, and she was more than willing to help. I hated it at the time, but now that I think about it I could not thank her enough. I know she hated it to the point where homework was like the devil, but she did it anyway because she wanted to help me.

My mom also brings me on so many day trips. She makes my brothers and I have a great childhood. Sometimes she doesn’t even want to go, but she knows that my brothers and I want to go, so she goes anyway. Because of that, when i’m older i’m going to look back at my childhood and say that my mom made my childhood so much better, and I love her for that.

Sometimes we fight like any other family. But we always make up sooner or later. We always tell each other, “love you” at night, even if we said things we didn’t mean during our fight, or we are still mad at each other.
I think that my mom is the best mom anyone could ever have. Sometimes people take moms for granted, but I realize that they have a really hard job, and I love her for that.
