Bob Marley never gave up on his dreams, and he was inspiring to others. Being a Reggae musician, Bob Marley wasn't accepted often. Bob Marley inspired many people to be themselves; he told people around the world to live in "no fear". Bob inspired people like his fans and his friends who were also not wealthy.

Living in an impoverished household in Jamaica, Bob did not get all the privileges many kids have today, like new bikes or a brand new phone. Bob Marley started out as a regular kid with not very much money. He was born in Jamaica in a small town called St Ann on February 6th, 1945. Bob Marley also spread culture and happiness to people all around the world. Being poor helped Bob be grateful for what he had. He went through very tough times and he never gave up on his dream to become a Reggae singer.

Jamaican culture is full of happiness and stories through their music. Bob Marley was a person of storytelling, and many inspiring quotes are circling through the internet. Like, "The greatness of a man does not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively." -Bob Marley

A hero (in our definition) is someone who is inspiring to others, and is always themselves. The musician, Bob Marley, didn't care what other people thought about him, someone who is inspiring to others, and is always himself.
