by Tony from Ansonia

Did you know that Robert J. Croak invented Silly Bandz? He is my Science Hero. Robert J. Croak is living a wonderful life. He displays many characteristics and actions of a hero. Mr. Croak is considered a hero to me because he has inspired me to go after all of my dreams.

Robert Croak was born and raised in Midwest City. He got his education at the University of Toledo. He got his college education at the University of Toledo in Ohio (1989-1994). Robert was born and raised in a Midwest City. He is CEO of both Brainchild Products and Verso Group Enterprises. He worked for the Verso Group for over 21 years as of January 1989. He has been CEO of Brainchild Products for over 6 years now.

Robert J. Croak is an ingenious businessman. He is a promoter for concerts, nightclubs, and other areas in the entertainment industry for the Verso Group. Despite having this successful career, he developed the newest kid craze and created Silly Bandz through his new company Brainchild Products. Silly Bandz became famous by word of mouth and the internet. Mr. Croak never used outside advertising to promote them. Beginning with children in Ohio, Silly Bandz are now a world wide sensation. Millions are shipped each day and business keeps growing. I think Mr. Croak truly displays how to reach for the American Dream more than once and achieve it; that to me is a true hero. A person who never stops growing, learning, and achieving.

Robert J. Croak is considered a hero to me because he has created my new favorite toy. He has made a difference in my life by making things fun again, not only for me but for children across America. He has also made me realize that you can be successful more than once. Already a successful promoter, he chose to create a second more simplistic idea and turn it into another multimillion dollar business. This inspires me to have more than one dream and to go after them all with the same energy and resolve. Robert J. Croak proves to me that there is no limit to succeeding in life.

Mr. Croak displays heroic characteristics as you have read in my essay. He is an ingenious businessman as well as an inventive and creative person. He also possesses an undying sense of determination. Now you can understand why I believe Robert J. Croak proves to be a real hero to me. A person who never stops dreaming or going after new goals, no matter how successful he has become. He is my hero because he inspires me to dream.
