My hero is my grandfather Angel Aguirre. I chose him because he saved my life. He lived in Carrillo Puerto, Mexico, with my grandmother Magdalena. He died last year.

When I was five year old he saved my life. I was playing football soccer in the terrace, I kicked the ball too high and when I tried to catch it I almost fell down but my grandfather helped me. I was scared but he told me that everything was ok.

He taught me to be a good person just like him. I spent much time with him. I miss him but I know he is in a better place. Rest in peace.
