A hero, to me, is someone who is a role model because they do good and courageous things. I think a hero is someone who takes time out of their lives to help someone out. A hero is someone who is not disrespectful or rude.

My hero is Muhammad Ali. He lived in Louisville, Kentucky and was born January 17, 1942. Ali was one of the greatest boxers that ever lived. He contributed a lot to boxing and he changed it for the better by making different styles that were different from what they taught. The reason Ali decided to get into boxing was because when he was younger, someone stole his favorite bike. Ali was banned from boxing because he would not fight in the war so they arrested him and took his boxing permit.

Ali is important to me because he is a great role model. Even though life was tough for him, he had a lot of strength and discipline to keep fighting. He made a difference in my life because he kept going even when he was banned from boxing. He shows me that I have to train hard and not give up when things get hard.

Ali is my hero because he is a geat person, he is very disciplined, a good role model, and the best boxer that ever was. Ali did many great things in his boxing career. He trained hard and is a role model to many people. Now he is a loving father.
