Blake Mycoskie

by Sarah from Arcadia

Blake Mycoskie is a true hero. I recently have learned about his life, heroic deeds and have had some thoughts that have really made my brain work. You will enjoy learning about my hero.

Blake Mycoskie had a helpful life. He went to Argentina and learned to sail, dance and play polo. During that time he learned kids needed shoes. So he opened a shop. He liked the slip-on shoes he made. He thought he’d spend half of his life making money and the other giving it away, but now he is doing it at the same time.

There are many heroic deeds that Mr. Mycoskie accomplished. Every time he sells a pair of shoes he gives another pair to someone who doesn’t have shoes. Mr. Mycoskie has saved kids because without shoes they would get injured when they walk. Also schools have a uniform and you have to have shoes, but if you don’t have shoes you can't go to school and without school you can't get education.

A great hero for you to know about is Blake Mycoskie. His life and heroic deeds have provoked some great thoughts into me. He is my hero.
