Definitly my mom!
She is one of the most amazing women I have ever come encounter with! she grew up in a large family, 7 brothers and sisters. Her father, a Chicago Police Officer, was killed in the line of duty. Her mom (my grandma who is also incredible!!) had to support and raise all of them on her own. My mom put herself through college for her bachelor's degree. It took her almost 6 years to do that b/c sh also had to work to pay for it. She then put herself through med school and eventually earned her doctorate. She works at clinic for poor/abused women and she makes such a difference in their lives. She is such a strong role-model for my sisters and I b/c she did all of that so that we would have a better life than she did. Everyday she reminds us to tell the people we care about that we love them b/c the next day they might be gone.
