Moving - Girl’s Essay
Angelina Sughroue, 11, didn’t talk about her mother’s death, her father, Samuel said. Kodi, the Mother, died in February 2010 from cancer, leaving five children: Erika, Brooke, Nathan, Angelina and Isabella.
“What My Mother Means to Me” essay won first place. “I used my memory to write it,” Angelina says. “like how sweet she was and loving. I just remembered her …. She was very nice. She wouldn’t let me down.”
Angelina said her essay reminded her of how her mother, "always kept me smiling."
Angelina’s Essay:
My mother sacrificed a lot of money for my family and me. She was a single mother taking care of 5 kids by herself. My mom worked at night so my older sister, Erika had to take care of us. Life was great until she went to the doctor. The doctor said that she had breast cancer. I was only 4 when this happened. I remember at our house that it was quieter. I didn’t like it. Months and months she stayed in the hospital.
One day we rushed to the hospital. I didn’t know what was going on. In February she died. One day after we rushed to the hospital. I still remember her soft voice and her black shiny hair with eyes like chocolate. She’s the best mom that ever lived.
This is personal to me because I lost my dad when I was ten. I’m sure writing this essay helped Angelina.
