Michael Jackson

My Hero
One of my favorite heroes is Michael Jackson. He is a hero to me because he has a musical history. Jackson encouraged many to dance and do what you love. Also because he had overcome a lot of adversity in his life. Before he went solo he and the popular band The Jackson 5 were a very known band. He was also one of the youngest in the group and was the lead singer and dancer. Eventually Jackson decided to pursue a solo career.

Although Michael was a great dancer and singer, like everybody he was caught in the middle of rumors but that didn’t slow him down, he kept on with the great dances and songs. Some rumors will never be answered due to his death. Also he was seen holding his baby over the balcony for a few seconds for everyone to see. He was not trying to hurt the baby but show everyone his miracle of life. Rumors that are still commonly asked are was he gay and was he murdered. This was only some of the adversity he had overcome to be the strong person he was.

The Musical Icon has been lied about, applauded and rewarded for someone to attempt to try to bring him down once more. It is obvious that no one will be able to create the same legacy as he did. He influenced millions that anything is possible. He was heroes to many but evil to others. He’s influenced me in ways no on one else could. He is one of the most inspirational people in my eyes and is a true hero. He is one of the two people to start my dance career. But the main idea about anyone’s hero is that the title "hero" is not passed down or bought, but is earned!!!
