Caesar de Tade

by Gerardo from Van Nuys

My hero is my friend Caesar.

My good friend Caesar. Some people really don’t like him but that does not stop him. It does not matter what people say, Caesar is my best friend. I'm grateful for that. Also Caesar loves playing soccer at school. But the best part is he is my friend.

Caesar is so helpful. When he sees when his mom needs help he always helps. I think that his mom is grateful to have a son like that. When my dad left us, Caesar will come over with some food. One day he will bring us chicken, or he will bring us two big large pizzas. He comes and brings me food. Must of people don’t care about the poor or the old. But my friend Caesar is always helping the poor and the old. Like just the other day we saw an old lady who needed assistance. So he went and helped her with her bags to the cars. At that moment the lady handed him a $10 dollar bill. But he told her no thanks. When my friend has money he goes and donates everywhere. Like the box where you see a picture of two hands holding hands.

Caesar is caring. Caesar does so many things and never asks for anything for return. He might see you in an awful time. So he gives you money. And he won't ask you later, where is my money. If he ever sees you in trouble he always tries to help. Like if you are about to get in a fight he will tell you, "Think before you act. If you fight, you might not make it to graduation.” So I just walk away with him. You might not get a subject and he will help you. Most big brothers fights with their sister, but not Caesar. Caesar will play with his sisters. He will listen to them, and not hit them. He will protect them.

Caesar is bold. Caesar always tries to help. Once we saw this kid being jumped. And you see Caesar fighting to protect him. That is when he said to take the kid to his house. After I took the kid to his house, I came back to help him. But when I got there the cops were taking the kids to the back of his car. But Caesar did not get in trouble; he told the officer that he was protecting the kid. Caesar is a very good friend. He always tells me “to grab fear by the ears and tell it to get lost.” One thing I like about Caesar is when he is in awful times he does not show it. Caesar is so brave, he even helps the people that don’t like him.

Out of the all the things I told you, this is just a bit. I imagine a world of people just like him. There would be world peace. People won’t know what is a weapon. He's a good friend to all the people. If you had Caesar as a friend you will tell yourself I don’t deserve him as a friend. Caesar is such a good friend I think of him as my brother. We always talk about how we grow up and see the world. And for all these reasons and more, this is why Caesar my friend. So the next time you see a kid helping someone without getting anything in return. It might be Caesar.
