Niko Caparisos

My hero is my cousin Niko. I have known him all my life. My mom’s side of the family relates him to me because he is my mom’s brother’s son. He is still in college at UGA, but this is his last year. He is studying to be an investor.

Me and my cousin at the Empire State Building. (My dad took it.)

He is my hero because when my parents are out he helps me with my homework. Also whenever he can, he comes home and visits with his family. He always says positive things (unless The Georgia Bulldogs are losing.) If I say or do something regretful he tells me not to say that. He also likes just about everything I do. He is very thoughtful and courteous in every single way I can think of. He has taught me how to play the electric and the acoustic guitar.

Niko has some similarities to the Greek heroes and also some differences from the Greek heroes. Here are some ways he is like the Greek heroes. He can run long distances. There are some ways he doesn’t resemble a Greek hero. One is that he is kind and pleasant, and the Greek heroes are brutal and pitiless. Another reason is Niko doesn’t have a god on his family tree. Niko teaches me right from wrong, and that is why he is my hero.
