My hero, my mentor, my best friend. This is a picture of my mom, Laurie, and I. We are at her Nursing School graduation. I am in nursing school not only because I want to help people and I love it, but also because I idolize my mother. She is the most kind-hearted, loving, caring, and compassionate person I have ever met. She will go out of her way to please everyone and is always there when you need her. She truly is the greatest mom in my eyes. "Mother, Like an angel, beyond compare, When I need you, You are there, I'm so lucky, Blessed as none other, By the special grace, of you dearest mother" This contest is for my mom, who has given me everything and has always been there for me.
