DEFINE HERO:
My definition of a hero would be someone you look up to, someone who is there to be a role model.

IS IT IMPORTANT TO HAVE A HERO:

I believe it is important to have a hero. Everyone needs guidance in their life and without a hero you will never have that guidance.
WHO IS YOUR HERO AND WHY:

My grandma is my hero, mostly because she has done so much for everyone in her life. She gives and gives and asks for nothing in return. She practically raised me when my mom and dad split up. She helped my mom get back on her feet after that, and made her the strong woman she is today. She's worked hard all her life to support her family. All of her kids are now grown and still will do anything to help them in life. I hope to be like her someday.

WHY SHOULD YOUR HERO BE INDUCTED:

The reason my grandma should be inducted into the hall of fame is because, even after giving so much she still hasn't asked for anything. She works everyday of her life and lives life to the fullest extent. If she only had fifty dollars to her name and someone needed twenty-five of it she would give it to them. She is constantly going out of her way to help people in need, and in my eyes that's a hero.
