Danielle Ellison

by Andre'a from Georgia


My hero is Danielle Ellison. Danielle is my mom. She lives in Savannah, GA. I have known my mom for ten years, and I’m going to tell you things about her.

The reason why I chose my mom to be my hero is because she has done everything for me. She has inspired me to be athletic, because she used to run track, play basketball, and play lacrosse. She also went to St. Vincent’s Academy for Girls. When she graduated from her school she wasn’t the first, but she was the only African-American to graduate from her class in the year of 1987.

My mom has many differences from the ancient Greek heroes. For one thing she doesn’t have any super strength, and she isn’t a god or anything. She is just a regular person, but I think that she has some sort of similarities to the ancient Greeks. She has strength by getting up every morning, and getting me ready for school. She is really brave, and there are so many more ways that she acts like a Greek god. She is the best mom in the world if you knew her, and she is the best person in the world. That’s why I love her, and that’s why I chose her to be my hero.
