Doloris and Gabi Habibeh

by Jasmine from Roseville

I decided to choose my parents as my hero. Their names are Doloris and Gabi Habibeh. They are both great role models for me and my sisters. They have helped me through the hard time and soft times, no matter what situation i am in they are there. For an example when I was little, my best friend was having a bike ride birthday party. I was really sad because i did not know how to ride one. Three weeks before her birthday, my dad woke me up and taught me how to ride one. Eventually, I became an expert in time for my friend's party.

First i will be talking about my dad. My dad lives in California. My dad takes success really seriously. My dad's favorite word for success is ambitious and courageous. Success it what he wants for our education - like A's and B's is an example for success. He helps us with that goal no matter how hard it is. My dad's goal in life is to raise kids and lead them to the right path. He will help us chose the right choices. He has a total of four kids. My dad also encourages people to stop smoking. For an example, he talks to some relatives who smoke and he volunteers at church for the meeting to help people to stop smoking. These may seem like small things but to me it's huge. Anyone can be a hero.

My second hero is my mom. She also lives in California. My mom has a positive attitude. Like she is certain we will do well in life and she will never give her hopes up. My mom is also caring. She likes to help people and give advice to whoever needs it. No matter how stupid the question is she will answer it without totally ignoring it. My mom's goal in life is also to raise a family and to make sure everyone is happy. She will strive to do her best no matter where she is, who's she with, and what she is doing she will help. For an example she was at an important meeting and she got a phone call from my sister. My mother stopped the meeting to answer the phone. My mom also has sympathy for anyone, especially anyone who needs support. That is why she is my hero.

My parents mean a lot to me. They helped many people with their struggles. For an example, they donated money for Hurricane Katrina. They also provided the homeless with shelter and food. They did that with the help with our relative. We also donated clothes to our church program. My parents are really caring. Once we all went to the seniors home and gave each one a stuffed animal. They were really happy that day. One told me thanks for caring. I was really proud that day and i was glad to go there in the first place.

My parents will always be my hero. They will try so hard to make my family happy. No matter how hard they try, i will still love them. i am proud to be their daughter and also proud to be with them every day. i still feel that they are great role models. They are very supportive, loving, and caring and that's why i am proud. My sisters and i really enjoy their company. They are truly my heroes.

I decided to write about both my parents, my mom and dad (Doloris and Gabi). They mean a lot to me, not just as a family member, but a friend. They help me through the tough times and other people as well.
