Paul

Good day! I am Preston and I am here to tell you about my hero, Paul, who is also my dad.

My hero is loyal, determined, faithful, humble, and dependable. To me, a hero sees a big or small need and helps.

At one point in time, I didn’t know how to play baseball. I had watched it on TV, seen people playing it, but I had never tried playing it myself.

Pretty soon, it was baseball season, and I wanted to play. My dad decided to coach, and started practicing with me. The more we practiced together, the better I became. Now I know how to play! That is how he became my hero.

So thank you, dad, for helping me and encouraging me. I hope I can help someone one day and I will become their hero just like you.

Today, 2/22/07 our class did a hero celebration. It took place in the GACS gallery to celebrate our heroes. The audience was the heroes and parents.

Our Hero Celebration came to be by us reading heroes in the Bible, in stories, and black history month. We brainstormed ideas of a hero, looked it up and found a different thing then we thought of.

We all did speeches, drew portraits, did presentations, and sang a song. The song we sang was Wind Beneath My Wings.

In the show, I started out nervous but after my speech, I felt better. After my PowerPoint presentation I felt good about myself and was happy.

I think that the Hero Celebration was really good today. I think that the heroes felt good and thought it went well, too. I would recommend for another class to do it because it was fun.
