Janet Jackson is a true definition of a hero. My hero Janet Jackson was born on May 16 in Gary, Indiana. My hero always says that “family is the most important Commodity that all of us have.” Personally I would relate to my hero because Janet Jackson has 6 brothers and 3 sisters, and I have 8 and I know what it's like to not always have something or a shortage of whatever it is. Also that my hero is an artist that has changed the music industry for all of the female artists making it into the music business.

My hero has done everything she can to help other people out. Janet Jackson has made an impact on the whole world including myself. Also that my hero has donated large portions of her own money to charities and has volunteered in charitable activities. Janet Jackson has sold thousands of records through her musical career as well as her brother Michael Jackson. To lots of people my hero is know as the queen of pop in a matter of respects. My hero has participated in charity acts and everything she possibly can.

The queen of pop, Janet Jackson, grew up along the streets of Gary, Indiana. As I said before, my hero has lived with her parents. In 1966 Janet Jackson was born and is the 9th of 9 children in a 4 bedroom house. Overall my hero lives in California in Encino. My hero has been living here for over 39 years of the 44 years of her being. Janet is also important to me because she encourages me to keep on doing what I do. Furthermore She lives with her husband and daughter and the rest of her family.

My hero has started her career back in the 70’s on the show of GoodTimes. Ever since then, Janet Jackson has shot to super stardom. In the 80’s Janet started a musical career that has transcended into today’s music. Life for Janet Jackson has been hard but it all pays off in the end. Today Janet lives a wonderful life with her nieces and nephews. My hero encourages me to sing and dance and also perform. This has helped me do a lot that I didn’t think I was capable of doing. To sum it all up this inspiration has truly made a difference in my life.

My hero is important to me because there is something special we both share. Also that she means a lot to me. My hero can understand me as well as I understand her. When people have so much in common it’s hard not to know how people feel about you. Also that she allows me to sing and dance around. That is why my hero is Janet Jackson.
