My mother. She was a single mom until I was about 6 or 7 when she met my now stepfather. She put herself through college and grad school and ended up graduating from law school in her 40s with 3 kids and a husband on disability (my siblings and I attended many classes with her from into to bio to contract law). She took care of her dying father as well as the rest of us while struggling to pay a mortgage and the rest of our bills all while busting her ass for pennies. She put every single one of her plans aside to care for other people and while my teen years weren't the best, she made sure my younger brother and sister lived a good, happy and healthy childhood.

To this day shes the strongest, most dedicated woman I know.
