they are contributing to either a worthy 

local or international cause. You 

are imagining Dynasty Gallery 

& Gifts, a store embedded in the 

west Orlando community for more 

than 20 years. 

Located in the West Oaks Village 

shopping plaza on Clarke Road 

north of State Road 50, Dynasty 

Gallery & Gifts is the go-to place for 

birthday, bridal and holiday gifts. It 

carries high-end affordable jewelry, 

including national brands Pandora, 

Swarovski, Alex and Ani, Brighton, 

Thomas Sabo, Lokai and more. The 

store keeps a record of the purchase 

history of its regular shoppers and 

items that are on clients’ wish lists. 

This way, when a gift is needed for 

a customer, the staff can help with 

the selection, knowing which items 

are already in that person’s collection 

and which he or she wants for a 

future occasion. 

Dynasty Gallery & Gifts is exactly 

what the name suggests. It is a shop 

that brilliantly displays its collections 

in a gallery-like setting. Upon entering, 

each customer is treated like a 

best friend who has stopped by for 

a visit. Offering complimentary tea, 

coffee, water, soda and fresh homebaked 

cookies, the staff takes time to 

find out exactly what brought each 

visitor into the store (besides the hospitality). 

Once a selection is made, 

the gift receives complimentary 

wrapping, and cards are available 

to purchase. That is why Dynasty 

is considered a one-stop gift shop 

experience. 

There is also a frequent-shopper 

program where for every $50 spent, 

a stamp is given. Once $500 worth 

of stamps is attained, the customer 

receives a $25 credit toward his or 

her next purchase. Staff members always 

find the time to call their clients 

when a new collection item of interest 

hits the store. Other in-stock quality 

brands with loyal followings include 

Crislu, Armani and Natural Life. 

For special bridal gifts, consider 

something from the Heartstrings 

collection. According to Manager 

Christopher Bell, the manufacturer

will “monogram almost anything.” 

Bell also said that the days leading 

up to Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day 

and Christmas are the store’s peak 

times. Dynasty is adding Father’s 

Day to that list by introducing a 

European line of jewelry for men, including 

a wide selection of Thomas 

Sabo items. 

In addition to popular brands, 

Dynasty also carries gift items that 

provide financial assistance to global 

causes. Elephant Pants is a casual 

yoga clothing line that is appropriate 

apparel for any social occasion. 

Ten percent of the company’s sales 

are donated to help save African elephants. 

This line was also featured 

on a recent episode of Shark Tank. 

Another popular item supporting a 

social cause is Pura Vida bracelets, 

which come from Costa Rica. The 

brand started with surfers making 

and selling the items on the beach. 

Soon it became a well-known product 

that contributes to saving the 

world’s oceans. 

Lokai tranquility jewelry combines 

water from the top of Mount 

Everest with mud from the Dead 

Sea, the highest and lowest points 

on Earth. These fashion accessories 

are said to provide harmony 

and balance to the wearer. There 

are also MantraBands to purchase. 

Each of these lacquered, stainlesssteel, 

solid band bracelets are 

engraved with an inspirational saying. 

They are not only unique but 

are perfect for both male and female 

recipients. 

Closer to home, the spirit of donating 

back to the Ocoee community is 

evident at Dynasty Gallery & Gifts 

as well. Harry and Natasha 

Mirpuri, longtime local residents 

and the store’s owners, give generously 

of their time and resources 

each Christmas season to Ocoee 

Police Department’s annual Holiday 

Toys for Kids in Need, including a 

visit from Santa to the store each 

Saturday for the kids. 

Dynasty Gallery & Gifts is located at 1067 S. 

Clarke Road in Ocoee. Operating hours are 

Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. and 

Sunday from noon-5 p.m. For more information, call

26th Annual 

Best 

Mom 

in Southwest 

In 1992, the Southwest Orlando 

Bulletin — then just a little more 

than 6 years old — introduced 

what has become a Southwest 

Orlando institution — the annual 

Best Mom in Southwest contest. 

Now in its 26th year, the contest 

is a way for residents to express 

to their moms how important they 

truly are. 

It seems that mothers are perpetually 

protecting their children from 

the ills of the world, tirelessly cooking 

and cleaning, and preparing 

their children for adult life, all while 

managing to somehow be the kindest 

and gentlest women, despite 

occasionally having to dole out 

discipline. 

Congratulations to this year’s 

winners: Amanda Marzouk, 

overall winner; Mason Taylor, 

12-and-older winner; Mackenzie 

Crownover, 10-11 winner; and 

Lexi Naegele, 9-and-younger 

winner; and all of our honorable 

mentions. They join a long list of 

past participants who believe that 

their mothers are truly the best.

OVERALL WINNER 

Amanda Marzouk, 14 

Keene’s Pointe 

Best Mom: Mary Marzouk 

My mother is my voice of reason, 

storyteller and nerve-calmer. The list 

goes on forever. However, no words 

can ever convey the way I feel about 

her. She means more to me than any 

words on a paper or stanzas in a 

haiku can express. 

Despite her always-busy schedule, 

she is able to be my best friend when 

I need her or a comedian when stress 

takes hold of me. Whenever I feel as 

if the world has turned against me, 

I look up and find my mother there, 

ready to embrace me in her arms. I 

come home from school, and she is 

never hesitant to listen to my daily 

accounts about class. My mom is my 

heart and soul that cannot always 

be seen, but the work she does will 

forever be there to keep me going. 

My mother has bettered my life 

through her own courageousness to 

boldly face any danger for my sake. 

When I was young and ill, she trodded 

through blizzards just to attain 

medication. The persistence I have 

seen in her persuades me to do better 

each day. My mother was my 

role model before I ever knew what 

that meant. In every waking moment, 

I fight because I know she does the 

same for me. 

There have been endless mistakes 

that I have made, and my mother has 

lightened the guilt by saying, “Losing 

a battle should never dissuade you 

from winning a war, so never let that 

stop you from continuing to fight.” 

12-AND-OLDER WINNER 

Mason Taylor, 14 

Winter Garden 

Best Mom: Glenda Taylor 

A mother is potentially the most 

influential person in a child’s life. 

Her gentle spirit intermingles with 

the youth and nurtures the child to 

succeed. When your mood falters, it 

is always your mother who rekindles 

your happiness. How often is it that 

you are unsure of a decision and turn 

to your mother for help? My mother 

is nothing short of this. 

Coming from poverty, she went 

against all odds and enlisted in 

the Marine Corps. Years later, she 

received degrees in both business 

management and education. What 

started as only aspirations grew into 

reality. 

Ever since I took my first breath, 

it was my mom who guided me as 

best she could with love and kindness. 

She drives me everywhere, 

supports me through thick and thin, 

and has given so much of herself to 

help me. If you can imagine a puzzle 

with missing pieces, it is my mom 

who gives of herself to help me grow 

more complete. The hours spent 

cleaning, watching over my sisters 

and me, and giving her best day in 

and out are only a small part of who 

she is as a person, who can only be 

described in two words — my mom. 

If I were to ask, she would say she 

wouldn’t change a thing. 

10-11 WINNER 

Mackenzie Crownover, 10 

Windermere 

Best Mom: Shannon Vaughan 

If you ask someone who their superhero 

is, they will most likely say 

Superman or Batman. My mom 

can’t shoot lasers from her eyes. 

She doesn’t have super-strength, but 

no Wolverine can beat my mom. 

My mom is the most hardworking 

person on the planet. She works 12 

hours a day, 60 hours a week. She 

even makes time to pick out my pajamas 

every night. Her job is to run 

the intensive care unit at Orlando 

Health. She deserves some credit. 

Even while doing all this, she still 

makes time for my problems such as 

crushes, grades and friends. I have 

never seen someone work as hard 

as her and still make time for their 

children. 

My mom is the most caring person 

on the planet. She helps me with my 

grades and encourages me to do

great things. My mom is the sun, and I 

am the moon. I need her to shine. She 

will be there for as long as I need her, 

maybe even 5 billion years. I can be 

so mean to my mom, but she still tells 

me I’m special and that she loves me. 

Your mom may or may not be as 

good as my mom, but there is one 

thing I am sure of: my mom is my 

superhero. 

9-AND-YOUNGER WINNER 

Lexi Naegele, 9 

Stoneybrook West 

Best Mom: Lori Naegele 

My mom is the best, because she 

has taught me to be myself and not 

care what others think about me. She 

has also taught me to not be scared 

of the future. My mom is the role 

model in my family. Since my dad is 

usually out of town, she has to take 

care of my sisters, two dogs, three 

cats and me. 

I was adopted May 29, 2012. My 

sister has special needs. This causes 

her to get mad a lot. But my mom 

has found ways to help her. Now my 

sister is doing better. 

I think my mom is the prettiest in 

my family. Either with or without 

makeup, she is beautiful. It is funny 

when she lets me try on her makeup, 

and I mess up. Overall, my mom is 

the best. I don’t think my life would 

be complete without her. 

HONORABLE MENTIONS 

Do you know who the best mom 

in Southwest is? Well, I know it is 

my mom. I think she is the best mom, 

because she is nice, sweet, smart 

and pretty. My mom is a fantastic 

doctor and mother. Some reasons 

to prove it are first, she comforts 

me when I am sad. She will ask 

me what’s wrong, and when I tell 

her, she always has a great solution 

and great way to make me feel 

better. Second, she is a great cook. 

She can make all sorts of food and 

desserts. 


Third, when I do not feel well, she 

stays home and helps me get better. 

She knows exactly what to do when 

I am hurt or sick, because she is a 

doctor. She works at Arnold Palmer 

Hospital for Children. She saves people’s 

lives every day. She even has to 

stay at work for 34 hours straight. 

Fourth, she comes to all of my field 

trips and events at my school. Fifth, 

she is the one who made me who I 

am. Without her, I would be nothing. 

So, as you can see, I have proved 

that my mom is the best mom in 

Southwest. 

Veda Srikantan, 9 

Westminster Landing 

My mom has always been by my 

side. She has been there to help me 

make good choices. She supports 

everything I do to achieve my goals 

in education, sports and spirituality. 

My mom is the smile and light 

to my day. She encourages me to 

go beyond my goals. She is my role 

model. I have never heard her say 

anything using bad language. With 

my mom being both of my caretakers, 

she takes the position of both of 

my parents. 

My mom doesn’t mind sacrificing 

herself for me. We have a very 

special communication between us. 

She has a huge amount of patience. 

I don’t even know how she does it. 

When I have difficulties, she helps 

me with her whole heart. 

She has helped me choose the 

correct path based on God. She encourages 

me to serve the Lord every 

Sunday at Mass. One of my mom’s 

goals was for me to go to a Catholic 

school, because she wanted me 

to grow in God’s knowledge and 

practice it at school and home. She 

teaches me to be thankful for all God 

has given us, from the smallest things 

to the biggest things. She teaches me 

that problems are blessings, because 

we learn from them. The reason I am 

on this Earth is because of her. She is 

my all. I love her so immensely!

My mom is the best, because 

she is funny. Like one time, she told 

a joke that didn’t make any sense. 

She is the kindest person I have ever 

talked to. She is as flexible as a rubber 

band. If one thing doesn’t go the 

way it’s supposed to, she can figure 

out another way to do it. 

She is helpful in many different 

ways. For example, she buys my 

clothes and food. She washes the 

dishes and cleans the house. She 

cooks the food and feeds me. She is 

awesome, because she knows what 

I like. Sometimes she surprises me 

and gives me a little treat. My mom 

is so loving. Every day she says she 

loves me so, so, so much. I love her 

very, very, very much, too. At scary 

times, she hugs me tight. She does a 

lot of happy things for me. 

This is why my mom is the best. 

Luke Carroll, 8 

Alexander Ridge 

She’s the best mom anyone could 

ask for. All I have to say is that I love 

her. 

Anna Kate Fuqua, 11 

Windsor Landing 

My mom loves me so much. She 

supports me in all my dreams when 

I need her to. She takes care of me 

by herself. She cooks and cleans for 

me. She is my best cheerleader. We 

have so much fun together. We play 

basketball, ride bikes, swim and even 

ride go-karts together. Most of all, she 

teaches me to love Jesus, and we go 

to church every Sunday. I want to be 

just like my mom when I grow up, always 

doing things for others. 

You are the best mom in the whole 

wide world. I’m glad God chose 

you to be my mom. You are the only 

mom I want. I love you to the moon 

and back. This hug is only for you. 

Jonny Mac Phillips, 9 

MetroWest 

My mom is the best mom in the 

universe. She makes everyone’s day 

one of their best days and tops it off 

with a smile. Even if someone is having 

the worst day of their life, she 

makes it a little bit better. There are 

a variety of reasons why she is the 

best, and to find out why, read the 

next few paragraphs. 

She understands and listens. For 

example, if something happens at 

school, she understands, because 

the same situation happened to her 

when she was my age. She listens 

to what I’m saying, because she 

cares. She’s also the best, because 

she makes me laugh constantly. 

When I am sad, mad or even 

bored, she will make weird faces, 

tell me a weird story, come up with 

a weird dance, and so many other 

things. 

No matter what, she loves me. 

If we get into an argument or she 

gets mad at me, I know that she 

still loves me and that she will love 

me for eternity. Also, every night 

she tells me that she loves me to the 

moon and back no matter what. Or 

she says, “I love you infinity times 

infinity.” 

A mother’s love for her child is like 

nothing else in the world. It knows no 

law, no pity, it dares all things and 

crushes down remorselessly all that 

stands in its path. 

This quote by Agatha Christie describes 

the kind of mom I have. She is 

very helpful and puts our family first. 

She helps me when I need help. For instance, 

my mom is good at math. She 

can help me if I am stuck. My mom is 

always there to remind me if I forget to 

do something. Another thing my mom 

does is she helps me feel better when 

I am sad. She tells me funny jokes or 

talks to me about what happened. 

My mom puts her family first. She 

works very hard, so we can have 

money to buy food and supplies. She 

keeps our house clean and organized, 

but she also has fun with our family. 

At Christmastime, my mom took our 

family to downtown Orlando to see 

the Christmas lights. It was beautiful. 

Happiness is having the best mom in the 

world. As you can tell, I am very happy 

to have the best mom in the world.

I believe my mom is the best in 

Southwest. She is loving, caring 

and hardworking. I love her for 

who she is. I think my mom is the 

best, because she gives me advice 

when I need it. She is a great help. 

She helps me with projects, homework, 

and even arts and crafts. 

Amazeballs! The most important 

thing is she loves me for me. My 

mom truly is the best. One thing I 

love doing with her is shopping. 

Sometimes we say we only need 

two things, and we end up with 30. 

Those are all reasons my mom is the 

best in the Southwest. 

Milana Meyer, 9 

Orange Tree 

My mom is the best, because she’s 

loving, intelligent and courageous. 

She loves her children. She’s a stayat-home 

mom, so she has to be 

strong. Sometimes, that can be hard. 

Whenever I’m sad, she cheers me 

up. My mom is truly the best. 

My mother is loving. She has given 

me a nurturing environment to grow 

in. She gives my brother and me an 

equal amount of love, showing that 

both of us are special to her. When 

she talks to somebody else, her eyes 

and words radiate kindness and attention. 

Finally, my mom shows love, 

no matter how mad, tired or stressed 

she is. 

My mom is intelligent. She helps 

me answer questions in life that I 

don’t understand. She gives me advice 

for the future. Most importantly, 

she gives me advice on how to respect 

myself and others. 

My mother is courageous. She 

has the strength to do what is right. 

She has the willpower to seek justice 

around her. However, she has one 

special ability: the ability to give 

up her time and money for a good 

cause. 

My mother is the best mom. She’s 

loving to everyone she meets. She’s intelligent 

and helps everyone she can. 

She’s courageous and will always 

say what she thinks is right. Without 

a doubt, my mother is the only person 

who can be my mother, handpicked 

by God to be my guardian. 

Joshua Salva, 12 

Silver Woods 

My mommy is the best, because 

she helps me clean up my room. 

And she loves me, because when I 

look into her eyes, she’s so beautiful, 

and she smiles at me. She picks 

out my clothes that I haven’t worn 

before, and she gets me shoes that 

I haven’t worn before. When she 

talks and I copy her and we talk at 

the same time, it is so funny. She 

helps me with my homework. My 

mommy is a pretty singer, and I 

love to sing songs with her. I love 

to cuddle with her at bedtime. She 

is the best, best, best, best mommy 

in the world. 

Katie LaPeters, 4 

Mabel Bridge 

My mom, Chantel, is the best in 

Southwest, because she has the best 

arms when she hugs me. Mom has 

blonde hair. She also has eyes that 

change colors. She is beautiful. 

My mom makes the best food ever. 

She is the best cook in the house. 

She makes yummy pasta, delicious 

chicken and ham. I love her when 

she makes breakfast for dinner. She 

has awesome cooking skills. 

My mom has a wonderful job. Her 

job is to take care of my younger 

brother and me. She loves her job. 

She is the best, because she makes 

me laugh by telling funny jokes. She 

also turns the boring times into fun 

times by playing with us fairly. She 

plays board games like Disney Who 

Am I with us. Out of everything, her 

kisses are the best.

When you think of a hero what 

comes to mind? Is it Batman, 

Superman, Spider-Man? But what 

about your mom? Society has 

painted this picture of what a hero 

is supposed to be. In order to fit

superpowers, brightly colored costumes 

and a damsel in distress who 

must be saved. Whenever I think 

of a hero, there is one person who 

comes to mind immediately, and her 

name is Cheryl Dzambo, or as I 

have the honor of calling her, Mom. 

She might not have superpowers or 

wear brightly colored costumes and 

capes, but she holds the qualities 

that truly make up a hero. 

My mom is a strong, courageous, 

kind and loving person. She would be 

the first person to drop everything in order 

to help anyone in need. She works 

a full-time job, and yet she still makes 

time for my sisters and me. Whenever I 

am sick or feeling down, she is the first 

person who rushes to my side. She is 

at all of my swim meets, and I can always 

hear her cheering me on. I look 

up to my mom in every possible way, 

and I hope I am as loving and caring 

as she is when I am an adult. 

“I believe in love at first sight, because 

I have been loving my mother 

since I opened my eyes.” 

Kimberly Dzambo, 14 

The Manors 

My mom is the best in Southwest, 

because she is kind and thoughtful. 

My mom’s name is Ebonie 

Hopkins. She is 37 years old, and 

her birthday is April 22. She is from 

Illinois. Her favorite game is Uno, 

and her favorite color is green. Her 

favorite food is steak. 

My mom cooks the best food. 

She can turn anything into something 

delicious. I especially like her 

pancakes, burgers, fries, steaks and 

cakes. Any meal she cooks for me is 

scrumptious. 

My mom works as an adoption recruiter. 

She finds families who would 

like to adopt a child. Sometimes she 

plans big events at SeaWorld for 

the children. Her job is very hard, 

because most people want a certain 

child, but my mom is so brilliant, she 

can handle it. 

My mom is supportive, brave, brilliant, 

bold, special and helpful. She 

taught me to stand up for myself 

and others. Even when I do something 

horribly, she still supports me.

My mom is magnificent. That’s why 

my mom is the best in Southwest. 

Jeryn James, 9 

MetroWest 

My mother is the best, because 

she is joyful all the time. Let's say 

I got a bad grade on my test; my 

mom would come to me, console me 

and give me tips on how I can get a 

better grade. My mom doesn’t only 

help me, but others as well, such as 

my brother, father and other people. 

My mother has good traits in helping 

others, as I said. Some traits she has 

that inspire me are kindness, honesty, 

happiness and royalty. My mom 

also helps animals outside our house 

by giving them water to drink if they 

are injured. 

In almost everything my mom does, 

she has a helping nature. I wrote this 

paragraph to just show you why I 

love her. It may not win, but I already 

feel that I have won. Why? Because 

the gift I’ve had in my life since I was 

born is having a great mother who 

loves me dearly. 

Harshini Bulusu, 8 

Dr. Phillips 

My mom is the best mom in 

Southwest. She helps me whenever 

I need help. My mom plays lots of 

games with me. She trusts me. Why 

wouldn’t anyone want a mom like 

her? My mom takes care of me. She 

even plays with me when I have a 

little brother. No one has a mom like 

her. When I am hungry, she feeds 

me. She is the best mom ever. 

Allison Curtis, 6 

Sand Lake Pointe 

My mom is amazing; she is so loving 

and caring. She is like a hawk 

and senses when something has 

gone south. She knows what is best 

for me and even helps me make 

decisions sometimes. She not only 

cares for me, she takes time out of 

her day to volunteer regularly and 

never says no when she is given a 

Bella Room 

task. Honestly, I don’t have a single 

clue what I would do without her. 

My mom has taught me millions of 

things, but there are three especially 

important ones. First, she taught me 

to love others as myself. This is very 

important, because our world could 

be so peaceful if people would only 

follow this. Her second teaching was 

to build trust with one or two people 

who I can count on. This is important 

to me, because I need someone to 

talk to when I am down and grow 

closer to my friends through trust. 

Lastly, she taught me to have hope. 

She tells me, “Cuando nada esta 

serviendo, algo vas a servir,” which 

means, “When nothing is working, 

something will work.” 

My mom is my guardian angel on 

Earth. She has always protected and 

defended me. I could not have been 

any luckier than to get such a beautiful, 

loving mother. The final reason 

I love my mom with all my heart is 

because she takes me to Chipotle. 

Thanks, Mom. I love you. 

Daniel Hernandez, 14 

Tuscany Ridge 

My mom has an awesome personality. 

My mom’s name is Mary. 

She is an art teacher and has a 

hobby for all different kinds of art. 

She teaches all students up to middle 

school, except fifth grade. My mom 

loves to teach kids in school or over 

the summer. 

My mom supports me for upcoming 

events. She helps me with my 

lines for a play. She got me ready 

for the actual play. She helps me 

study for big tests. She also helped 

me study and read words for a 

spelling bee. 

My mom makes me feel good by 

congratulating me on a hardworking 

day. She makes every day feel 

special. She gives the best hugs. 

The most amazing thing she does 

all day is work hard. She tutors all 

week long, five days in a row. My 

mom does art camp and club to earn 

money for the family. 

She makes lunches in the morning 

and cooks dinner at night, except 

when Dad finally decides to cook.

takes naps with me and cuddles me 

at the same time. Another reason 

she is amazing is because she plays 

Monopoly, which is my favorite 

game that she plays with me. I love 

when my mom cooks. She makes 

the best food. She could be on a TV 

show. I love my mom. 

Amber Brych, 7 

Woodlands of Windermere 

My mom is the best mom ever. 

There’s not enough room to describe 

how amazing she is, but 

I’ll try. I’m not writing for money; 

I’m writing to show everyone how 

awesome she is and all she does. 

She deserves to be recognized for 

her hard work. 

My mom is super kind. She supports 

me in all I do, no matter what 

it is. She once saved a turtle’s life 

by taking it off the road and let us 

bring it to our home and keep it as a 

pet. She also saved a dog she found 

on the side of the road, brought it 

to the vet, and gave it to the pound 

after a couple days. She thought she 

shouldn’t leave the dog at the pound, 

so she got her. She once skipped a 

work trip, because it got back home 

on my birthday morning, and since 

I was in school, she just didn’t want 

to miss it. 

She is super intelligent. If I need 

help with studying or homework, she 

is quick to help. She has a good job 

and is the boss, and you need to be 

smart to do that. As you can see, my 

mom deserves this award. I love her 

so, so much. My mom would do anything 

to make me happy. That’s why 

she is the best mother ever.

Four kids are a lot to handle, but 

somehow, my mom manages to take 

care of us all. She is my hero, best 

friend and all-around greatest mom 

of all time. 

My mom is a very positive person. 

When I am feeling down, she 

is the person I go to, and she always 

cheers me up. Plus, she doesn’t hesitate 

to show love toward her family 

and friends by helping and/or making 

us smile. My mom always looks 

on the bright side. If I lose a game or 

get a bad grade, she encourages me 

to work harder. My mom just makes 

me happy and is the best influence a 

kid could have. 

My mom is a multitasker. She 

owns her own company. She runs 

a national health care business and 

helps thousands of people throughout 

the nation. She is also able to 

attend all of our school and other 

events. After that, she comes home 

and cooks fabulous meals for the 

whole family. Even though it is a 

lot of action, my mom is organized 

through it all. 

My mom is very talented and 

achieves many of her goals, along 

with her hobbies and interests. 

Furthermore, I am able to enjoy her 

amazing cooking three times a day. 

No doubt, my mom is talented, and, 

because of this, the best person to 

be around. 

My mom is the most important person 

to me. I love her to the moon and 

back. 

Savanna Schenk, 11 

Windermere 

Who is crazy amazing, sweet like 

candy, bright as sunshine and loves 

me dearly? My mom, of course. I 

could go on and on and on about 

her excellence. My mom is for sure 

the most superior in the Southwest. 

At school, she is the team leader 

for the whole eighth grade. That 

must be rigorous, but I know my 

mom can do it because she is highly 

intelligent and knows what she’s doing. 

Whenever I’m feeling blue, my 

mom knows my ticklish spot. She’s 

so intuitive and motivating. My mom 

is the most generous person I know. 

I love her so much. 

Another great quality is her humor. 

I think she is hilarious. She also thinks 

on the bright side. My mom is really 

enthusiastic. She is so encouraging, 

which is one of my favorite qualities 

she has. I appreciate her so much. 

My mom is the most spectacular 

mom a kid could have. She is so 

amazingly awesome. 

Avery Twedt, 9 

Steer Lake Pointe 

I love my mom, because she loves 

me back. She exercises and plays 

with me a lot. My mom taught me 

how to snap my fingers and how to 

cook. Sometimes I watch TV shows 

with my mom. We like the same movies. 

I also watched the debates with 

her. My mom is the best. She helps 

me when I need her and helps me 

believe I can do it. We go to stores, 

and she also lets me do arts-andcrafts 

projects. My mom hugs and 

kisses me a lot, and I love her very 

much. 

Akhtar Ahmad, 6 

Phillips Landing 

My mom is the very best. She is 

always busy with my brother, Cade, 

and me. Between me having dance 

class four days a week, sometimes 

performances on the weekends, 

and piano lessons, and Cade with 

high school baseball practice every 

day and games three or four times 

a week, my mom rushes around everywhere. 

This is why my mom is the 

very best. 

On top of all that, she helps Cade 

and me with our homework and 

takes us to dentist and orthodontist 

appointments. My mom got me 

interested in cooking and baking, 

because she does that every week 

and still has time to make a delicious 

meal for her family. Best of all, my 

mom forced my dad to get me a cat 

for Christmas. She does lots of things 

for my brother and me, because she 

loves us very much. 

My mom spends a lot of money 

on my brother and me. She buys 

us more expensive food to keep us

healthy. Furthermore, she buys us organic 

food, because it is better for 

our bodies. She also takes us on lots 

of vacations. They cost a lot of money, 

but my mom wants us to have 

amazing experiences. 

My mom is extravagant, spectacular 

and wonderful, because she is 

always busy being the best mom 

ever.

takes good care of me. When I am 

sick, she makes it fun. We laugh and 

play together, but it’s not always fun 

and games. We fight and yell sometimes, 

but we always make up and 

say, “I’m sorry.” 

My mom is there for me. When I 

get hurt, she knows what to do like a 

superhero. She makes it all OK. She 

makes me dinner, lunch and breakfast. 

I love her, and she loves me. 

We are like two birdies in a tree. 

At night, she reads me a story, 

tucks me in and says good night. 

When I come home from school, 

she asks me, “How was your day?” 

I say, “It was good.” When I do my 

homework and struggle on a problem, 

she comes and helps. 

I love her more every day. No 

one could ever take her away. She 

bakes with me, and when the treats 

are ready, I want to say, “Nothing 

is as sweet as you.” She helps me 

study for tests, even when she’s 

sick. 

She is the best mom in the world, 

and no one can top her. 

Erin Tomeu, 9 

Pembrooke 

My mom is the best in Southwest 

because she’ll do anything in the 

world for me to be happy. She is 

cute and beautiful. My mom goes 

everywhere with me. She is always 

with me. She likes to go to the mall 

and movie theater.

My mom is there with me when I 

am sick and in the saddest and hardest 

times. She wishes she could transfer 

the sickness that I have to her, so 

I don’t have to feel bad. My mom 

is sweet, loving, caring, encouraging, 

awesome, cool, smart, giving, 

always thinking of others, independent, 

responsible, countable and the 

list could go on and on, trust me. 

We like to spend time together 

and eat tacos, pizza, rice, beans 

and hotdogs. We also like spending 

time with friends and family, like our 

dog, cat and David. That’s why my 

mom is the best in the Southwest. 

Alessa Diaz-Urbiola, 9 

The Reserve at Belmere 

Has your mom always been there 

for you? Has she helped you through 

hard times in life? 

To start off, my mom is the best, 

because she cares for me. In the 

morning, when I wake up, my mom 

makes breakfast, which means she 

cares for me to have a good, fresh 

start for the day. Also, my mom 

comes to my tennis tournaments and 

supports me to make me feel confident 

that I’ll do great. 

Secondly, my mom teaches me 

new things. One thing my mom 

teaches me is how to make my lunch. 

It’s good to start off early in life, 

because when it’s my responsibility 

to make my lunch later on, I’ll know 

how. Also, my mom taught me to 

never give up, because I'll find 

a way. She’s also shown me that 

education has a high value in life, so 

I need to try my best in school. 

In addition, my mom is the best, 

because she drives me to day-to-day 

activities. She drives me to piano to 

show that she knows I love the piano. 

She drives me to tennis to show 

she supports me in whatever I end 

up doing in life.

a lot of ways. First of all, my mom is 

funny. My mom makes really funny 

jokes and asks funny questions. My 

mom does crazy things, like every 

time I leave for school, my mom will 

do a funny hip-hop dance (probably 

because I left the house). My mom 

also sings funny and with random 

words. 

Another thing is, my mom plays 

with me. My mom watches me play 

sometimes and will play with me 

(which is torture). My mom also helps 

me play and gives me “tips.” 

One last thing is, my mom cooks 

great food. My mom makes awesome 

desserts, like gooey chocolate 

brownies. My mom also makes 

an awesome macaroni and a killer 

chicken. 

To wrap things up, moms are 

amazing, but mine is the best. 

Caden Collins, 11 

Windermere 

My mother is the best in the 

Southwest, because when I am sad, 


she makes me happy. She plays 

with me. She helps me. She says 

I am everything to her, and that 

makes me happy. I love my mom. 

She is so funny, and my mom protects 

me. She is the best. She’s nice 

and awesome. 

Ethan Hartfield, 6 

MetroWest 

I have always had fears, but my 

biggest fear is losing my mom. She 

is not just any mom; she is my best 

friend. Best friends come and go, 

but this one will always stay. I believe 

my mom is the best mom in the 

Southwest. If you don’t believe me, 

how about I convince you? 

First of all, my mom knows how 

to cook, clean, build, drive a boat, 

bake, convince and help me with my 

education. My mom works her butt 

off to pay the bills, feed me nutritious 

meals, and, most importantly, keep a 

roof over me.

My mom is not just working 24 

hours a day, she is actually working 

24 hours a day alone. Luckily, she 

only has to take care of one child, 

but sometimes I can be a handful. 

My mom doesn’t really have a flexible 

schedule, but if I want her somewhere, 

she will be there. My mom 

would jump in front of a speeding 

car on the highway to save my life. 

She is literally everything I could 

have wished for. 

One time, we went to Wisconsin to 

visit our family. We made snowmen, 

snow angels and even had snowball 

fights. My mom buys me toys and 

candy. My love for my mom is more 

powerful than a laser shooting your 

heart. I truly believe my mom is the 

best mom in Southwest Orlando. 

Camden Moore, 10 

Sand Lake Hills 

My mom is the best for endless 

reasons. First of all, she is a single 

mother. It sounds hard being a single 

mom, but she makes it look easy. She 

is currently going to school to achieve 

her dream of being a radiologist. 

While having two kids, working full 

time and going to school, she’s a 

pro at it. She says how tired she is 

but still manages to stay awake. She 

works so hard to take care of our 

family and achieve her goals. Some 

things she does for me include cooking, 

washing my clothes, giving me 

shelter and buying me things. I know 

that my mom wants the best for me. 

My mom means the world to me. 

My mom makes me smile. She 

jokes around a lot with me and 

makes me feel happy when I’m 

down or upset. She says that I can 

talk to her about anything. I feel like 

she understands me the best out of 

all the people I know. 

To add to my sister and me, we 

have a dog. So my mom technically 

takes care of three kids. Dogs are 

a lot of work, and you have to buy 

them things, too. Our dog is very 

needy and likes a lot of attention. 

And, of course, my pro mom makes 

all that happen.

My mom is the most spectacular 

mom ever for various reasons. I love 

her. 

Victoria Ruiz, 11 

Gotha 

My mom’s name is Kimberly, 

and she is the best mom. I am sure 

there are a lot of great moms out 

there who love their kids, but my 

mom works really hard, especially 

with my schedule. She gets up every 

day at 4 a.m., because she works 

in Tampa, and has a babysitter stay 

with my brother and me to get us to 

school. She leaves for work so early 

so that she can leave Tampa at 2 

p.m. to pick me up for early release 

from school at 3 p.m. I am on a competition 

gymnastics team and train 

five days a week, four hours per 

day. My mom picks me up and takes 

me to practice and then has to pick 

up my brother and take him to his 

practices and then come back and 

pick me up. 

She stays up late preparing lunch 

and dinner for the next day since we 

don’t have a lot of time after school. 

She also helps me with my homework 

to make sure I get A’s in school. 

She doesn’t get a lot of sleep, but she 

sleeps a lot on the weekends. She 

also takes really good care of our 

cat and dog. We don’t have a lot of 

time during the week, but after she 

rests on the weekend, she tries to do 

something really fun with me. 

Benjamin Monzella, 11 

Sanctuary at Bay Hill 


supports me in everything I do and 

pushes me to do my best and help 

others. My mom helps my family 

with all our needs and others’ needs. 

She influences my life to be a light in 

others’ dark times. 

My mom makes sure that my siblings 

and I do our best in school. She 

makes sure that we get a lot of work 

done, but also have breaks so we 

can rest our brains. Because Mom 

is a teacher, she goes to a teaching 

event every year so she can be 

an even better teacher. It helps us, 


her children, that she goes to these 

events, because then she can help us 

more with our work and put beauty 

into our writing. Mom is a big help 

with our education, and it pays off 

for her when she sees the good 

grades we get. 

My mom is not just a teacher, she is 

a peace-maker and a love-spreader. 

She has helped the world so much 

by helping with our family’s nonprofit 

#HangAHeart. #HangAHeart 

is an organization in which kids 

and adults show love by sewing felt 

hearts for those who are experiencing 

dark times. Without my mom, 

there would be no #HangAHeart. 

I am truly blessed to have such a 

loving mother who inspires me every 

day to be just as hardworking and 

kind as she is. 

Victoria Salisbury, 11 

Winter Oaks 

My mother is my forever best 

friend. She gave me life, nurtures 

me, fights for me and, most importantly, 

loves me unconditionally. She 

taught me how to walk and talk. She 

shapes me into the very best version 

of myself. My mom is more than just 

a definition from dictionary.com. My 

mom has the hardest job of all, but 

somehow she manages to keep up. 

My mom is there when I need a 

shoulder to cry on, and she puts everyone’s 

needs before her own. My 

mother pushes me to do my best in 

everything I do, no matter what it 

is. No matter how bad her day has 

been, she is there for me. She never 

complains or says no. I can count 

on her to always stand by my side. 

I cannot imagine what my life would 

be like without her. I am so lucky to 

have a mom who loves and cares 

for me. Nothing can compare to the 

amount of love a mother has for her 

children. My mother is the reason I 

am who I am today. 

As Abraham Lincoln once said, 

“All that I am or hope to be, I owe to 

my mother.”

My mom’s name is Diana, and my 

mom is the best mom in the world, 

because she does everything and 

anything for me. When I am sick, 

she stays with me and takes care of 

me, even when she gets sick herself. 

My mom will let me have the last hot 

dog, even when I know she is hungry 

and has not eaten. She roots for me 

and is my biggest cheerleader, even 

when I do not run so fast. When I 

have nightmares, she stays up to 

keep the monsters away, even if she 

is tired. She is at every play and 

makes the best cookies in my class. 

She goes with me on my school trips 

and rides all the scary rides with 

me, even though she turns green on 

them. When I am sad, she makes me 

laugh with a fart joke. She is funny, 

courageous, sweet and kind. She is 

a great chef and cooks for us every 

day. She can make the ickiest stuff 

taste great! She has taught us to 

care and be respectful of others. She 

loves me and my brother and sister 

the same, even though I am her best 

child. 

When I grow up, I want to be just 

like her. I can count on my mom always 

being there for me, and that 

makes her the very best mom in the 

world. 

Matthew Conde, 10 

Dr. Phillips 

My mom is hardworking. No other 

person works as hard as my mom. 

She works every day. Most days I 

don’t even get to talk to her. Other 

days, when she is home, we have 

fun together. 

My mom is fun, because she takes 

me and my family to many different 

places all the time. She also does fun 

things with me and my friends. She 

sometimes brings us to Disney and 

Universal. 

Equally important, my mom is positive. 

My mom is positive, because 

one time, we were at the beach, and 

it started getting windy. Sand blew 

into my eyes, and she was positive

it would stop. Another time, there 

was a tornado warning. My brother, 

friend and I were scared, but my 

mom said to calm down. Instead 

of being scared, she was positive it 

would not hit. 

My mom is the best in many ways. 

Rylan Ardnt, 8 

Windermere Chase 

I do not need to convince 

anyone that my mom is the best 

mom. I know that out of every single 

mom there is, my mom is the best. 

She does not have superpowers, 

but what she has done for my sisters 

and me takes just as much strength 

an any superhero. 

My mom raised us for many years 

as a single mom. She left the house 

early in the morning and came home 

late in the afternoon, but somehow 

found time to cook dinner and spend 

time with us. She made sure our 

childhood was carefree and full of 

many adventures. 

After the birth of my little brother, 

who has Down syndrome, I have 

never doubted that my mom is the 

best in the world. Down syndrome 

slows a number of stages in development 

and can have other health effects. 

My mom has shown patience 

for every delay my brother has. She 

shows the same amount of love to 

each one of us. Even though she is 

busy raising four kids, she advocates 

for children in foreign countries who 

have no families and no one to turn 

to. My mother inspires me to be kind 

and care for every person regardless 

of any labels. 

Rebekah Asquino, 15 

Ocoee 


is loving. She helps me when I am 

sad, and she helps me to feel happy. 

When I am hurt, she makes me feel 

better. She loves each and every 

one. My mom has a big heart. 

My mom is fun, because she goes 

to the skate park with me. She is fun, 

because she goes to fun places with 

our family. We love Disney, skate 

parks, water parks and Scooterville, 

Georgia. One thing is true about 

my mom and that is that she does 

her best to make life fun for all of us. 

My mom is positive. She is positive, 

because when our money was 

down, she made everything better. 

My mom is the best, because when 

I am in the hospital, she makes 

me feel better. For example, I was 

skateboarding at my school. I hit a 

crack in the sidewalk and fell down. 

I broke my wrist. My mom thought it 

did not break, but my dad took me to 

the hospital anyway. To be honest, I 

was happy, because I did not think 

I would have to go to school. I was 

wrong, and my parents sent me. 

In conclusion, my mom is the best. 

She is loving, fun and positive! 

Colin Harden, 9

Southwest community, because we 

have family time. When we have 

family time, she plays games with 

me, and we watch TV. She gives me 

kisses and hugs. She reads books to 

me. I like how she is. She works hard 

for me. My mom loves me. 

Chloe Perdigao, 7 

MetroWest 

She is the best mom in the world, 

because she’s my mom, and she is 

hardworking, caring, brave and accepts 

me as I am. She is my idol and 

role model. I love her so much, and I 

don’t know what I would do without 

her. She cheers me up when I’m sad 

or when I have a bad day. Sure, we 

have our fights and discussions, but 

in the end, we still love each other. 

She is too amazing for 250 words. 

My mom is, for sure, caring and 

loving. When I get sick and I’m 

down, my mom cheers me up. She 

feeds me, my dad and sister every 

day. She helps me with everything 

and tells me she loves me every day. 

She always listens when I tell her 

how my day went. 

She accepts me as I am and is 

brave, because she lets me do what I 

truly love. She loves it when I try new 

things. She lets me try out for anything

Everybody has a different meaning 

about what their mother means to 

them, but in reality, they all want the 

same thing for their children: happiness. 

Mothers are here to serve one 

very special purpose: to love and 

care for their children. On the inside, 

mothers are beautiful, and they have 

the biggest hearts. Mothers would 

do anything for their children. 


is there for me. She helps me whenever 

I need it. I am always trying to 

help her in return. She also drives me 

to my many activities, and most of 

my games are far away. My mom 

listens to me. She has been there for 

me whenever I’ve needed her. She 

has been with me through the highs 

and lows. She would do anything for 

me. I really appreciate that. 

My mom is supportive of what I 

do. She always tells me that I am a 

champion, even when I am feeling 

down. My mom encourages me to 

be the best person I can be. She believes 

in me even when I don’t. My 

mom would follow me to the ends of 

the Earth and back. I truly appreciate 

everything she does. 

My mom would do anything for 

me. She loves me for who I am and 

is always there for me. My mom is 

the best human being I have ever 

met, and I wouldn’t change her for 

the world.

she liked how I ate all my dinner, so 

she gave me some jelly beans. She 

loves me so much that she even let 

me take ballet lessons so that I could

My mother has a heart like no one 

else. She is the most caring, wholehearted 

person I’ve ever known. I 

have many memories with my mom. 

My mom is willing to help me with 

any challenge I have. She is the most 

hardworking woman ever. 

With her many personalities, my 

mom is very supportive and helpful 

with all I do. She supports me even 

when I’m sad. In frustration, she 

loves me under any condition and 

circumstance. I know my mom loves 

me more than anything. I know she 

loves me more than all the waters 

that fill the Earth. 

Above all, she has a never-ending 

love for me. What is the definition of 

never-ending love? Is it love that lasts 

forever? When I think of my mom, 

love pours into my heart and fills me 

with uncontainable joy. My mom will 

never abandon me for anything or 

anyone. Her personality shines its 

way into my heart. 

The personalities of my mom burn 

as brightly as the sun. Her kind heart, 

support and love bring life and character 

into my life. In the end, her 

never-ending love will extend forever 

and never be contained. 

Nate Griffon, 12

Do you remember in kindergarten 

when everyone asked you 

who your favorite superhero is — 

Batman, Spider-Man, my mom? I 

know it’s true that my mom cannot 

pick up a house, she can’t run 5 

miles in 1 second, but she does 

things that superheroes wish they 

could do. 

To begin with, my mom is hardworking. 

She works 10 hours a week 

and still gets me to soccer practice 

on time. Also, my mom has to work 

hard at night, but she still cooks us 

our favorite dinner. 

To add more fuel to the fire, my 

mom is so supportive. If you have 

ever been to a soccer game, you 

know my mom is the loudest person 

cheering there. My mom is most likely 

to be the most supportive mom in 

the world. If I get a bad grade, my 

mom doesn’t get mad at me. She just 

motivates me to work a little harder 

and check my work. Also, if I keep 

failing at scoring in soccer, my mom 

pushes me harder. 

So, the next time someone asks 

who your favorite superhero is and 

who’s the best mom in Southwest, you 

are sure to say my mom. I love you! 

Sydney Jackson, 9

is caring, kind and if my mom wasn’t 

alive, I wouldn’t be here. She works 

at home, so I’m safe and always will 

be. Her cooking is great, and she 

treats me like I’m her puppy. Her job 

is to design clothes, and I’m her little 

model. 

She loves ice cream. When she 

eats it, she says, “Yum, yum, yum!” 

She is special. Her hair is sparkly 

brown, and she treats me very nice 

when I’m feeling down. I’m very special 

to her, and she’s the same to 

me. I love her voice. She sounds like 

music to my ears. 

Her style is pretty, because she 

loves wearing dresses. She makes 

the best outfits for me to wear. I feel 

warm and safe next to her, just like a 

stuffed animal.

inside and out. My mom does many 

things, not only for me but also for 

my dad and two sisters. Whenever 

one of us is having a rough time or 

bad day, she picks us back up and 

helps us push through it. 

When my aunt became sick, my 

mom was by her side every step of 

the way. She encouraged her every 

day to do the best she could to strive 

to do more day after day. She rejoiced 

in the good times and pushed 

through the bad ones. 

Every day, she makes sure we 

have everything for school and every 

practice my sister and I have. 

After school, she asks how our day 

was and what tests and projects we 

have coming up. She listens patiently 

to what we have to say and gives us 

advice for any problems we have. 

When my friends say, “Your mom 

is so nice,” or “I love your mom. She 

is like my second mom,” I take full 

pride and joy in how amazing she 

is. She understands that I make mistakes, 

and she loves me the way I 

am. There are not enough words to 

describe how wonderful she is, not 

only to me, but also to my friends 

and family. She truly is more than 

just my mom. 

Stephanie Mitchell, 13

She opens her arms to the poor 

and extends her hands to the needy. 

~ Proverbs 31.20. 

Mothers are important in life, 

because they influence you. Even 

though you sometimes get irritated 

with your mom, remember she loves 

you. 

My mom is very hardworking. One 

way is she has to buy food for my 

family. She is always cleaning our 

house to keep it clean. If we didn’t 

have a clean house, we would lose 

stuff and never find it. Finally, she is 

part-owner of an ice cream shop. 

She is always there to keep it in business 

and get everything the shop 

needs. I know that in everything 

she does, she tries her hardest to 

succeed.

If you want kind, go to my mom! 

My mom is ready to help in every 

case. She is there for me in rough 

times to make me feel better. I feel 

safe around her, almost like my 

house travels with her. I can trust her 

to influence me to do good things for 

the world. 

Overall, I need my mom, and I 

am so lucky I have her. I know she 

loves me to the moon and back. I 

know she is going to help me get 

places in life and will help me exceed 

in everything I do. If I could 

grade her 1-10, she would get a 

100! 

Brooke Allen, 12 

Windermere 

She inspires me to worship in a way 

I’ve never done before. 

Another way is she makes me 

laugh. She makes funny jokes that 

are so weird. She just has to say one 

word, and I die in laughter. She is 

corny and knows old jokes. 

The last way she is the best is she 

feeds me healthy food, because she 

cares. She wants my health to be 

OK. Sometimes I may not like it, but 

I know it is going to help me later 

in life. She can also bake the best 

cakes out of exotic ingredients. 

In conclusion, my mom is the best 

and means the world to me. 

Jaiden Pierson, 11

I love my mom to the moon and 

back. My mom is the best in so many 

ways. 

One way my mom is the best is 

she is so godly. She encourages me 

to pray more. She also tries to help 

me have a better relationship with 

God. If I’m going through a hard 

time, I go to her for advice in Christ. 

Abraham Lincoln once said, “All 

that I am or ever hope to be, I owe 

to my angel mother.”

the cupids that make sure we are 

loved. Moms are constantly making 

sacrifices to benefit our lives 

and some of them rarely receive a 

thank-you. 

My mom, Deb Irmscher, is my 

best friend. It is no easy task to take 

care of three irritating teenagers, but 

she makes it seem like nothing. She 

is constantly pushing me toward my 

dreams and is always the loudest 

when I achieve my goals. 

She takes us to our practices, attends 

our games and makes sure 

we are headed in the right direction. 

Not only does she take care 

of our family, but she also runs the 

merchandise at Bishop Moore and 

Holy Family, plays on the Keene’s 

Pointe tennis team, and takes care 

of our two cats that are attentionsavvy. 

With my sister going to college 

and my dad traveling, my mom 

has a handful on her plate, but she 

makes it work. Personally, I believe 

Mother’s Day is not enough, and we 

should take time to sincerely thank 

our moms. I am very lucky to have 

a mother like her, and my life would 

not be the same without her. 

Ben Irmscher, 13 

Keene’s Pointe 

There are several reasons why my 

mom is the best, and one reason is 

that she is protecting. Two days after 

school started this year, something 

very scary happened at our apartment 

complex. Our neighbor was 

hurt badly, and my mommy came to 

check on us to make sure we were 

safe. She never left our sides even 

though there was a lot going on at 

the time. She even let my brothers 

and I sleep in the room with her and 

Daddy, because we were scared to 

sleep in our own rooms. 

Another reason my mom is the 

best is because of her perseverance. 

My mom works full time, goes to 

graduate school full time, and still 

manages to clean the house, take 

care of us and Daddy, and cook 

delicious meals, all while doing her 

homework for school. She gets tired 

sometimes, but she never complains, 

and she is always there for us when 

we need her. My mom helps us with 

our homework and makes sure we 

know how important having an education 

is, and that is why we love 

her so much. My mom is very intelligent, 

too. She makes good grades; 

she is a straight-A student. She got 

inducted into the International Honor 

Society while she was earning her 

master degree. There are several 

reasons that my mom is the best 

mom ever, but the No. 1 reason is 

because she loves us. 

Taylor O’Neal, 9 

Advenir at The Oaks 

On the website dictionary.com, 

the word “mom” means “the woman 

who loves you so much and puts 

you before herself.” This is true but 

my mom is more than that. My mom 

does everything for me, and I really 

appreciate it! 

My mom has two kids — my brother, 

Pedro (18), and myself (11). We

can be a handful, but my mom loves 

us. My mom helps us with everything 

for us to be happy. She helps us with 

our homework, but unfortunately, 

doesn’t do it. My mom is a really 

busy person, but no matter what, she 

makes time for my brother and me, 

or just myself, because I guess when 

you’re 18, you want to just be with 

your second family (your friends). 

My mom wants me to be the best 

I can be. She comes from Quito, 

Ecuador, where Spanish is spoken. 

My mom taught me how to speak 

Spanish. She always tells me that it 

will help me in the future, and I believe 

it’s true. During summer break, 

Mom makes me practice reading 

and math, so the next year I can 

comprehend the subjects. 

To sum it up, my mom is the best 

mom out there, and I appreciate 

what she does for me. 

Nicole Johnson, 11 

Lake Fischer Estates 

My mom is the best, because she is 

unselfish. She is the one person that 

is not selfish. Instead of buying things 

for herself, my mother likes to buy 

things for us and those around us. 

She is always sending donations for 

my class, and this helps motivate us. 

My mom is fun. She always takes 

me somewhere fun. One time, she 

took me bowling, and I won! It was 

a blast. We have fun wherever we 

go. When we went to the beach, she 

played with us in the water. She also 

helped us dig a hole in the sand. In 

Tampa, I stayed up so late, my dad 

fell asleep before me. 

Most importantly, my mom is caring. 

When I get hurt, my mom helps 

me. One day, I crashed on my bike. 

She helped clean my bruise. Also, 

she helps me with my homework. She 

also helps with my computer work.

benefits. She cooks me excellent 

meals every day. She pays the bills, 

so we can have a roof over our 

heads. She also gets me to school 

on time every morning. 


Southwest because of her personality. 

She is kind, loyal, sweet, brave 

and smart. She would help anyone if 

they were in need. When I’m scared 

at night, she helps me calm down. 

She protects me and would even 

fight for me if I was in need. 


Southwest, because she always has 

been there to support and encourage 

me. Whenever I feel like giving 

up, my mom tells me that I can do 

it. She helps me do things I think I 

can’t do. 

Kayla Kunstorf, 11 

Gotha 

My amazing mother is many 

things. To me she is my mom, but to 

others she is that friend who always 

cares. She takes care of her lovely 

family, helps me with homework and 

softball, and her heart is full of gold. 

I love her to death and this is what 

my amazing mother is ... 

She always helps me if I don’t 

know something. She takes her time 

and is patient with me while going 

over or doing homework. She loves 

when I come home from school with 

something new and teach it to her. 

She also is always proud of me. 

She could just let someone else 

bring me to my two-hour-long softball 

practice, but no. She not only 

drives me but watches me those 

whole two hours. Not to mention, 

she is there to pick up my confidence. 

If I do something wrong, 

she is the first one to say, “It’s OK. 

You will get it next time.” She is also 

prepared. She knows exactly what I 

need, even if it’s snacks; ice packs; 

extra water; my cleats, which I forget 

a lot; or even the simplest hug. She 

already knows. 

Her heart is golden. She forgives 

me whenever I mess up or do something 

amazingly stupid. She is so 

patient. I can be completely angry 

at her, and she will let me explain 

my point, then proceed to tell me 

the reason I’m wrong in the kindest 

way possible, then we discuss. 

Once you think she can’t love you 

anymore, she ends up having more 

than enough. 

She is not only my mother, she’s my 

sunshine. 

Campbell Romero, 12 

Dr. Phillips 


Southwest community. My mom 

loves me. She buys me Legos, and 

she makes me good food. She gives 

me hugs. I like her hair. She takes 

me places. I like her clothes. I like 

my mom. 

Aiden Berrada, 7 

Vizcaya 

My mom is the best, most amazing 

mom in the world! Every time that 

I fell when I was a baby, she was 

there to help me. When I didn’t know 

words, she taught me. 

I remember one time, we didn’t 

have a car. My mom didn’t complain 

about it. She just took the bicycle 

and went to my kindergarten, and 

when I came home from school, she 

taught me how to write words. I am 

grateful for all the effort she puts into 

our lives. 

My mom helps me with every single 

thing in my life. One time I was 

sick, and she and my dad carried 

me to the bus stop. We took the bus 

to the hospital, and she stayed by 

my side. There was water inside my 

lungs. My loving mom stayed days, 

nights and even weeks waiting for 

me to recover, because I couldn’t 

even walk. Everyone in my school 

was worried, even the teacher came 

to the hospital to visit. 

After I returned to school, a lot of 

time had passed, and there were 

many assignments I had to make up. 

My mom took her own time to help 

me complete the work, because she 

knew how difficult and important my 

schoolwork was for me. 

My mom continues to give my 

life meaning, happiness and joy. 

Sometimes we laugh about funny

jokes that we make up. It’s her 

kindness and protectiveness that 

make me know why I love my mom, 

because she is the best. 

Peter Gaudencio, 11 

Twelve Oaks 

Many moms are wonderful, but 

only one is the best, and that mom is 

mine! First of all, I know my mom is 

the best, because she is thoughtful. 

She is thoughtful, because she buys 

my family food to eat. 

I know my mom is the best, because 

she is loving. She reads me 

stories at night before I fall asleep. 

My mom is the best mom ever, 

because she is caring. She snuggles 

with me when I am scared. 

Allison Lyons, 8 

Windermere 

In my life, do you know the person 

who gave life to me was my mom? You 

may wonder how that is special to me. 

Well, my mom has taught me life skills 

so I can have an excellent attitude. In 

school, I am also very good, and that 

is because of my mom (although I also 

thank my dad for a lot of things as well). 

My mom entertains my family. She 

listens to me and understands me, 


although I talk a lot. Our favorite 

game is the laughing challenge. She 

loves me and my family. Also, she is 

so cool, because she helps run two, 

not one, but two, restaurants. She 

cooks the best food. My mom is as 

pretty as a daisy and as catchy as 

chocolate. 

Every time I am upset or angry, my 

mom helps me the most. My mom is 

royal, active, nice, joyful, alert and 

neat. My momma is as sweet as a butterfly 

flying. The last thing I love about 

my mom is she wakes me up and sends 

me to sleep with a sweet smile.
