My definition of a hero is someone I look up to and respect. I say that guy is special and I say, "I believe in you." I want to be like this person. He is awesome. My hero is Michael Jordan and he is all of that and more. He won three championships in a row and I say WOW! He is very special. He is my hero.

Michael Jordan started as a young basketball player, a blank slate really. Then he became a college basketball player. Jordan thinks creatively like Thomas Edison creating the lightbulb. He started out playing for North Corolina in college. Then he was drafted by the Chicago Bulls for pro basketball. Then he went to play baseball, because he didn't think basketball was his THING. OH YEAH SURE, winning three championships in a row and much more in basketball wasn't his thing either.

Baseball was different though. He wasn't the best, I'll admit. Nevermind, he was horrible, but he would not rest until he hit a homerun. Finally, his lucky day struck; he hit a homerun. Finally for the Washington Wizards, Michael Jordan started playing pro basketball again.

Michael Jordan is not only good on the court, but also in charity. Michael Jordan has a good heart. He is a good athlete. He is a good hero.
