I live on Hai Ba Trung street. The area is quite crowded with vehicles and people all day since it is near the Old Quarter. There are all kinds of shops side by side: clothes, foods, drinks, ... As crowded as it is, people in the area are so friendly that you could never find anywhere else in Hanoi. I enjoy staying here since it is very close to my school and my parents' workplace that we can just walk to school or work.
For some people. their idols must be a popstar, a movie star or a celebrity. But for me, my idol is a much closer person: my mother.
She is an engineer, a mother, a wife, a daughter-in-law, my teacher, my best friend and my therapist. It is mostly impossible for a person to handle everything at once, but she manages to get everything done, perfectly. She gets up earlier than everyone, and goes to bed earlier than no one. One time when I was a child, I asked her what kept her so strong and motivated. Her answer, of course, was us - her children. Now looking back, I know that it's not us who gave her the strength but her love towards everyone kept her moving forward. She is my true heroeine who never wears capes. I love her with all my heart and my gratitude.
