2^nd Prize- Brianna Conkin- age 13

 My mom is special because she does so much for me.  She has put a roof over my head, she cooks, she clean sand she keeps my sisters, brothers and me healthy.  Most of all she loves us even when we are being rude.  Even if we were really poor I would still think she was special.  She helps me when I really need it.  If I am stuck on a question in math spelling or even reading, she will try and help and if she can’t she will get my dad to help.  She protects me from most of the dangers around me.  She is still special to me even when I am really mad at her.  She will always be there for me even if she is not physically with me.  From now on when my mom is tired or needs help, I will let her sleep or I will help her.  There are many more reasons why my mom is special but in order to list them I would need a lot of pages just to write them down,  so I picked the most important reasons why my mom is special and wrote about them.
