My definition of a hero is someone who can help you when you're in need. Someone who can do the right thing and do whatever he or she can do to help out.

In my opinion, I think that it is very important to have a hero in your life. Without a hero in your life, you could stray down the wrong path because there wouldn't be anyone to help you in times of hardships. This is why I think that it is important to have a hero to put you on the right path.

The hero in my personal life is my step dad Robert Kemper. Throughout my life, he has lectured and taught me how to be a better person. He works very hard on mostly everything that he does. He shows me how to be able to take care of myself when I get older. When I need help with something, he's always there to lend a hand. He tells me about the importance of what I need to do in the future to be successful. He puts me on the right path and keeps me there.

I think that there are many reasons why my hero should be inducted into the Hall of Fame. First, he is the kind of guy that always shows up when you need him and always helps out. He also teaches people like me how to work hard and to always try your best at something. As he has gone through life, he has learned from mistakes and now shows people what to do to be the best at anything. My step dad Robert can always be a hero when you need him to be.
