To me a Hero is a person who sets his/her goal clearly to help other persons or people and strive to achieve it under any circumstance. Hero is a person who doesn’t give up on anything no matter what.
It is important to have a hero because his/her work helps others and could be a role model.
III. My personal hero is my uncle by the name Abdulhafiz Abdulkadir who went to frontline to liberate the Eritrean people from invaders. He noticed the cruel barbarous act of the Ethiopian regimes, which had been armed by the super-powers of the time, on the Eritrean people. He clearly noticed the need for independence and joined the Eritrean Liberation Front (ELF). He was always an honor student when he joined the front. He has also had a good life under his parents and was living far away from where the atrocity was taking place. And yet he made a decision to join Liberation Front. This what most Eritreans did at that time and finally Eritrea was liberated because of their decision and sacrifices. Not too many people imagined early on that this goal was achievable as the enemy side was too superior amenity wise. But the heroism prevailed. Who wouldn’t agree that such a person is hero?
He was always an honor student but he decided to go to the frontline. He could have a great job with his good score at school and have a nice life. But he chose to give-up his life for the sake of the Eritrean people. Because he knew that life is hard without independence. So he joined a liberation front to achieve his goal. He knew that death is daily news at the war fronts and yet he was happy to join it. And finally, after many years, his dream came true and Eritrea became an independent nation.
Interview sectionMy Hero’s Hero, I believe Jemal Ahmed, his uncle. I believe my uncle was inspired by his uncle (a younger brother of his mother). Jemal had a nice life in Asmara. He was happily married and had three wonderful children. He owned the house he was living in and had Clothing and Accessories shop in Asmara. By the standard of those days, this was a standard life. But because of similar reasons, he left his family and wealth behind and joined the Liberation Front.
