  A hero is someone you look up to; they are a leader. You should be able to go to your hero if you're having any problems and they can give good advice. A hero should also be responsible with their words and actions. I also think a hero should stick up for you and stand by your side when you are facing difficult times. A hero is someone who teaches you right from wrong and tells you to learn from your mistakes. They also make mistakes,but they admit to them and move on. This is my definition of a hero.



Is It Important To Have A Hero?

I think it's very important to have a hero. Having a hero means you can follow in their footsteps. You can also talk to them about anything and know they will give you good advice.  I believe that it is also important to have a hero because it makes you a better person.  You will make better decisions, learn from their mistakes and grow up to have bigger dreams then you had before. Knowing that there is someone to look up gives you hope in life. These are the reasons I think having a hero is important.

My Personal Hero
My personal hero would have to be my mom. My mom has learned how to take care of herself while growing up. She has taught me a lot about about life and I can go to her about anything without being judged. My mom has been helping people while being in the medical field for over 20 years. She also helps out with cheerleading which is good because it's a lot of stress on the coaches with coaching and planning projects.  My mom explains everything to me that I don't understand.  She teaches me right from wrong, and she has taught me how to respect other people.  My mom is my personal hero because she has respect for me and everyone else.  My mom puts everything aside for me and my sister, she never thinks of herself. This is why my mom is my personal hero.

                                                                  Hero Hall Of Fame

 

         My mom should be in the hero hall of fame because she works hard at being a mother, She has two kids to take care of, a job, plus cheerleading. My mom is always there for everyone and will give you no reason to doubt her. She puts a lot on her plate every day, and when I need her, she will stop what she is doing to help me or my sister.  My mom is a good mom, not only to me but everyone else.  She helps other people, and never complains.That's why i think my mom should be in the hero hall of fame.
