Leigh Cassady

My hero would have to be Leigh Cassady, my aunt. She is my mom’s sister. She lives in Enterprise, Alabama. I have known my aunt since I was born. She has been great to me ever since I met her. I love her and wish I could see her everyday.

My aunt is my hero because she showed great bravery after her surgery. She had a grapefruit-size tumor in her stomach. Her bravery showed with her positive attitude and her strength. Besides being brave, she puts a smile on everybody’s face. She has all these silly traditions. It’s hysterical. She is like a second mother to me. She makes us try new foods. I love her to death.

My aunt Leigh is similar to a Greek hero because she is brave through hard times. Like her surgery. She is different from a Greek hero because she is silly with all her traditions. My aunt is so wonderful, I cry when I have to leave.
