Alicia Keys

by Courtney from Gallatin

Everyone has a hero or someone they look up to. People who have done wonderful things for people. Heroes could be anybody - your family, entertainers, or athletes - the list goes on. My hero would be Alicia Keys. She never gives up, she is someone to look up to, and she does great things.

First reason she would be my hero is she never gives up. She has never met her father. Therefore she was raised by a struggling single mom. She was talented and in lessons but that did not stop her. At one point in time her music was not succeeding. At first she did not know what she would do. Until she did some thinking and worked harder. Therefore she kept trying and that is something you could look up to.

Second reason she is someone you could look up to. She is a very talented beautiful singer who is not a bad influence. Some of the women entertainers just put themselves out there, but she knows what is right. She wants to have a good effect on her fans. Also she does not use bad language. No one has ever said anything negative about her. That is because of her positive attitude and good choice of words. With all of her work she has done some wonderful things.

The final reason is she has done great things. She can play the piano very well. She started playing the piano when she was very young. She still plays today, even in some of her own songs. Alicia also inspires people with her music. She has a beautiful singing voice people would love to have. People also love the words she chooses and how she puts them together in her music. That is some of the great things she has done.

So my three reasons why Alicia Keys is my hero is she never gives up, someone to look up to, and she does great things. She does wonderful things and even plays the piano. She has self-respect and cares for her fans. She never gives up, she is no quitter. Remember, anybody can be your hero.
