Michael jordan

by Joey from Woodland HIlls


Not only is Michael Jordan one of the best basketball players of all time, but he is my hero. I look at Michael Jordan as my hero because of his achievements in life and his achievements in the game of basketball. He reinvented the sport of basketball with his unbelievable skills. Everything he has done in his life is an inspiration to children since he has tried harder when he has failed.

Children look up to Michael Jordan because of his success at basketball. He shows his heroic characteristics by going to schools and talking to children about continuing in school no matter what. Children look up to him since he is a famous celebrity and they listen to him about achieving in life. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team which motivated him to try harder. His life is an inspiration to his fans and others proving to them that they should try harder.

Michael Jordan is committed to organizations that help and support childrens' and family causes. The charities that Jordan is involved in include the Boys and Girls Club of America, UNCF/College Fund, and the Special Olympics. In October 1996, in Chapel Hill of North Carolina, he opened the Jordan Institute for Families. All the enrichment programs that he has started, show his committment. After he retired, he started the James R. Jordan Boys and Girls Club and Family Life Center which features many activities to the likes of all ages.

I look at Michael Jordan as my hero because I have acknowledged his accomplishments in basketball and his generosity to charities. Michael Jordan's incredible achievements prove how much of hero he is. He is eager to give back to the community and to his fans. For the above and other reasons, Michael Jordan can be considered a real hero.
