Community Heroes

A community hero is someone who helps their community in any possible way. They may keep the community and environment clean or help the citizens. There are many other ways for a hero to help their community. For example, they may help the poor by giving them clothes and money or helping their neighbors with their garden. A community hero can be anyone. It may be someone in your family or someone you have never met, such as a fireman. It is important to be a community hero because it benefits the community. For our project, we chose two fathers and Mother Theresa as our community heroes.

My dad is my hero. He was born in Marfa, Texas. He now lives in Dallas, Texas with my family and me. My dad is my hero because he works hard at his career and sacrifices a lot for my family. For example, the education of my brother and me is very important to my entire family. My father works hard our education and our future. He is also my hero because he is dedicated my family and always shows his love for us.

Mother Teresa was born on August 26, 1910, but she considers her real birthday to be August 27, 1910 because that was the day she was baptized. She became a nun in her early life and dedicated her life to serving the poorest or the poor. In 1950, she started her own diocesan congregation called the Missionaries of Charity. She lived the majority of her life in India serving the poor and sick, especially those with leprosy. She died September 5, 1997 and has since then been beatified by the Vatican and titled Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta. I admire Mother Teresa for her strong faith in Christ and service to the poor. She inspires me to help others and be a more spiritual person.

My hero is my father. He is my inspiration for my brothers and me. I note that my father has worked for twenty years and always supports my family. My father overcame all obstacles in his life. My father raised three children and gave them everything they have. It is imperative that you know that my father is the nicest and hardest working man in the world. My father is from Dallas, born and raised.  I love my father very much. He taught me everything. My father has had a tough life and had to work hard for the money he earned for his family. He came from nothing and made something of himself. He has respect for all people. The progress that my father has made is incredible. The environment that my father created in my house is wonderful. He taught me to be myself and always uphold what I believe. Also, my father taught me to value my life and do well for the world and to make a difference. My dad always taught me to believe in God and have faith. My family goes to Mass every Sunday because of my dad. My dad will always be my hero, he keeps me on track. I would not be here today without the help of my father.

In conclusion, there are many heroes in our communities. They affect our lives both personally and indirectly. For example, our group discussed heroes like our parents and Mother Teresa. However, there are many heroes in our communities. There are men and women who help our communities every day; there are firemen, policemen, teachers, doctors, priests, counselors, and more. Parents and firefighters are the ones who keep our community clean and safe.
