My hero is my sister, Brittany. She is my hero because she is trustworthy, generous, acts as a role model, determined, inspirational, helpful, responsible, positive, willing to sacrifice, stands up for others, tries their best, trust worthy, and respectful. Now let me explain why she is trustworthy, generous, acts as a role model, determined, inspirational, helpful, responsible, positive, willing to sacrifice, stands up for others, tries their best, trustworthy, and respectful.

She is trustworthy because I know I can tell her my secrets and I can trust her not to tell them to anyone. That’s why Brittany is trustworthy.

She is determined because she follows her dreams and when she has homework she turns it in on time. Not late, she makes sure she does her homework before she plays outside or goes to a friend’s house. Also when she has a group project she has to do a part and she turns it in. For example she said she wants to be in honors and she sticks to it and makes it in there.

She is helpful because when I need something that is on a top shelf and I can’t‘t reach it she helps me reach it. When I need help with my homework she helps me on it. Also when I need help on a sport or a project she is there for me. For example one time I need help learning how to ride a skateboard she said “let me help you” and she did. Now I know how to skateboard and do tricks!!!

She is respectful because she makes sure she doesn’t hurt anyone’s feelings or say harmful words or phrases. She says she hates it when people say mean harmful words to her so when they do she says I don’t like that in a nice positive way. She never has a mean attitude to anyone or herself. For example one time someone walked up to her and said you're fat she said I don’t like that nicely and that person stopped being mean that day.

She is generous because when I need nice clothes to wear she lends them to me. When I need shoes she lets me use her shoes when I can’t find mine and I am in a hurry. For example one time when I need nice shoes for a dance she lended them to me. That is why she is generous.

She acts as a role model because when she gets good grades it makes me want to be like her or her. Also when someone asks her to do her chores she doesn’t give that person attitude. When she says she is going to do something like a goal, she sticks to it. She doesn’t just give up. For example one time she set a goal and it said "I will get straight A’s." She stuck to it and didn’t give up. So she got all A’s on her report card. That is why she acts as a role model.

In conclusion Brittany is my hero because she is trustworthy, generous, acts as a role model, determined, inspirational, helpful, responsible, positive, willing to sacrifice, stands up for others, tries their best, trust worthy, and respectful. That would be why Brittany is my hero.
