BERKELEY, NJ— Moms do so much for everyone around them. We try to celebrate them all year long, but Mother's Day is a perfect opportunity to shout it from the rooftops and post it on Patch: Mom rocks!

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize the awesome moms and mom figures in communities like yours.

This submission comes from Jack Borkowski who nominated Misty Dawn Borkowski of Berkeley.

What makes your mom extra special?

My mom is one of the best moms ever and here's why. She has four kids and always goes above and beyond to make sure we have good lives and a good future. She's always pushing me and my siblings to be better and the best. She also will do anything for us. One time at Universal, she waited in line so I could meet Captain America. Without her, I don't think my family can be the best it can be. This is how my mom is the best.

Why do you feel your mom deserves the spotlight?

My mom has earned the spotlight because she's a hard-working mom who works for four kids and makes sure her kids have the best life they can have. Also, she would go above and beyond for us.

Happy Mother's Day to Misty Dawn Borkowski, and thank you for all you do!
