The Cook County News-Herald is happy to share one of the delightful essays that has been received in the Northern Hi-Lites Salon and Essential Touch Massage Mother’s Day Essay Contest. We can’t tell you who wrote it until the judges make their selection, but it’s a great essay by an 8-year-old.
Give it a try. Tell us why your mom deserves to be spoiled in 200 words or less—typed or handwritten on a sheet of paper—and bring your entry to Northern Hi-Lites or to the Cook County News-Herald office by Friday, April 29.
The News-Herald will publish the winning essay on May 7. The lucky mom selected by the judges will receive a relaxing massage from Laura at Essential Touch, have her hair done by Lisa at Northern Hi-Lites and will receive a basket filled with delightful gifts and gift certificates good for breakfast, dinner, and a shopping spree.
Northern Hi-Lites Salon and Essential Touch Massage are sponsoring the contest with support from Java Moose, Gunflint Mercantile, the Cook County Whole Foods Coop, Joynes Ben Franklin, Lake Superior Trading Post, Joy & Company, Stone Harbor Wilderness Supply, Cook County News-Herald, Blue Water Café, and more!
Best mom ever
My mother is the best because
she taught me to be strong, how
to be a dreamer. She showed me
there are more shades of life than
black and white.
She made mistakes so I could
learn, she sowed the seed of love
in me to make me grow every
day. The hard work she puts into
raising me—a roof over my head
and food on the table. I love her.
Life has thrown our family many
obstacles to overcome and my
mom is what held us together.
I want her to win because she
deserves the best and I want her
to know how much I love her.
