Hi, my name is Tyler. My hero is Craig Kielburger. He is my hero for a lot of reasons. He is a heroic man.  He was born in Thorn hill, Ontario on December 17, 1982. He is now 28. He is caring, he perseveres, and is responsible. I will tell you some of the reasons and I will tell you why he is my hero.

He is caring. Here are some of the reasons why he is caring. Craig Kielburger is caring because he made a lot of schools and wells for kids who did not have not enough money and if they just did not go to school. They had no water so he built wells that pumped clean water. He is caring because he wants to stop child labour. When was only 12, he wanted to stop child labour. Those are the reasons why.  

Craig Kielburger perseveres.  These are some of the reasons why he perseveres. His mom told him to stop because they got no sleep because the phone was ringing all night long and there were kids sleeping in their bed. He wanted to live his dream just like his mother told him. Here is one more reason I am going to tell you why he shows perseverance. He wanted to stop child labour like I told you. He wanted to tell people so he did a public speech at his school and he was terrified of public speaking. That is why I think he shows perseverance.

Craig Kielburger is responsible. Here are some of the reasons why. He is responsible because he let kids sleep in his house and in his bed because they had nowhere to sleep. He had to make schools and I think that takes a lot of responsibility. I also think that he is responsible because he had a dog and I think he has responsibility. 

He is my hero because he is caring. I think it takes a good man to be caring. Craig is my hero because he helps a lot of kids. He inspires me because he helped kids. That's what I want to do when I get older but in a different way.
