Bruce Goll

To me a hero is someone that can laugh at themselves, someone who can make you feel better when you are sad, someone who can give people respect. That someone, who can do all of those things, is Bruce Goll, my dad.

My dad is someone who can laugh at himself, make fun of himself. He is constantly laughing at himself because he makes tons of mistakes. One time we were boiling chicken and he forgot to put the lid on the pot and our cat took it right out of the pot!

He could make anyone feel better when they are sad. He’ll make you laugh so that you brighten up. He will comfort you in a way that could make you forget all about your sadness. One time my friend moved away and I was so sad that my dad told me a joke and I started laugh so much that I started to cry. So my dad offered to take me and my friend out for ice cream and we could get as much as we wanted. So we did. We got so much that an employee had to help us carry it to a table.

My hero can also give people respect. He will let people say what they have to say if there is a conflict between two people. One time he let both me and my brother say what we had to say even though it was obvious I was in trouble.

My dad is great. He can do almost anything. He is truly my hero.
