STORIES

Billy Corgan

by Darin from Oak Forest

Abraham Lincoln is a great example of a hero; don't you think? He has several excellent characteristics, including his immense dedication to the United States of America, peacefulness towards others, and his charisma which is needed to give speeches and talk to crowds of people.

My hero would have to be Billy Corgan who is similar to Abraham Lincoln. He demonstrates dedication towards his band, the Smashing Pumpkins. They have broken up before, but with the dedication Billy has for music and The Smashing Pumpkins, he was able to reunite his band. They have continued to make music to this day. Billy Corgan also must have charisma to be able to go to concerts and sing to multitudes of people for a living.

Billy Corgan has impacted my life and the lives of others with his amazing and wonderful music. I know that his music has helped me get through situations when they get tough. I know that when I get upset or angry, there will always be one of his songs to cheer me up or calm me down. there are songs to go with almost every mood that you could possibly be in because he has probably once felt the same emotions. Usually when musical artists like him are going through something they make a song to notify people that they are feeling such ways.

I feel that people should try and emulate the characteristics of Abraham Lincoln and Billy Corgan because they are really good characteristics to have. Everyone should have something that they are dedicated to whether it's freeing slaves or writing music. Also, people should always be at peace with one another because foulness is not a good attribute to have. You should always treat people with the same respect and dignity that you wish to be treated with. Last but not least, everyone should be charismatic especially later on in life. You need to know how to socialize with people and get along well with them especially in the work place. Those characteristics from my perspective are the three most vital characteristics of a hero.
