Young Arts Prize Sample Entry
my hero, my super-mum!
This is my mom. She works two jobs but still helps with homework and makes dinner. Sometimes she's super tired but always listens to my stories. She never misses my soccer games even after working all day. Her hugs fix everything. I painted her smiling because she's my hero.
