Home is Where You Find It
by Alcides Soares
Alcides Soares writes about his heroes:
My heroes are Jesus, my dad and Neal Baer. My dad gave me an education and taught me how to live life. Neal Baer found me when I was lost. We all know Jesus; my dad passed away; and Neal Baer lives in Los Angeles, California.
My dad was poor but he made sure I got an education; Neal is the person who worries about my future and my family’s future.

My dad influenced me with his positive thoughts. Every time when I’m sad I remember my dad who instilled in me courage, not to give up, to keep trying.
Neal Baer influenced me to believe in myself and to study hard and to do the best in everything I set my mind to.
Even though I don’t have any family members now who worry about me and my siblings, Neal Baer lives all the way in the U.S. and is the person who worries and makes sure my siblings and I are getting the best education, that we don’t go to bed hungry, and that we have what we need to succeed in life. He influenced me to be compassionate and to give back to society.
