My hero

My parents are my real heroes. They’ve done everything for me, always putting my needs first. They work hard every day, not for recognition, but to make sure I have a better life. Their love, strength, and sacrifices have shaped who I am.

They are always there when I need them, no matter what. They listen, guide, and support me without asking for anything in return. To me, that’s what a hero really is—someone who cares deeply and stands by you through everything.

I’m grateful every day for all they do. They don’t need to wear a cape to be heroes in my eyes. They already are.
