My hero is my aunt, Margie Wright. She has been in the Hall of Fame several times for softball. My aunt has the most wins in softball coaching in the nation! Margie Wright lives in Fresno, California. She was born on December 28, 1952. Margie is still alive and coaching today. She was also an assistant coach in the Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. She has coached fifteen Olympians in her entire career!

Margie Wright is important to me because she worked hard in school. Margie also encouraged me to do well in and try my hardest in school. She also taught me to never give up. My aunt has made a difference in my life by teaching me how to overcome my fears of things like pitching badly and striking out. My aunt has helped me in a lot of ways.

All in all, my aunt has taught me many things. She has taught me to work hard and to never give up. If she can get good grades and have time to play sports too, then I can do it too! She played softball all throughout her school years. She even played in college! I want to be just like her when I grow up. These are just a few reasons why my aunt is my hero.
