My Hero Essay

This is dedicated to my dad

  My hero would have to be my dad Steve. He is my hero cause he is fearless, courageous and strong. Steve helped me with everything like when my homework was too hard to do or when I was getting made fun of, it just wasn't fun when I was little because of my speech but my dad always used this line on me "the best thing to do in life is just put your fears down and love everyone, even if they are not close to you." He is 5 ft 7inches, has brown eyes, loves to work out with me when ever he could.

  There was one thing that made him fearless because my mom was a clean freak he used to whip cool whip at us. Mom always got mad when we did that but he always cleaned it up with dirty clothes and then did the laundry so me, my sister and my brother wouldn't get in trouble.

  My dad and I were very close with each other. I went everywhere with him. Steve was my brother's hero as well. We would stay up half the night playing the Xbox 360.  It was so much fun hanging with my dad.

I loved my dad with all of my heart. I was so close to him I never let my dad leave my side no matter what happened because I was always scared that something bad would happen to me, or worse, to him.

  That is why my dad is my hero. He might not be there for me now but he is always watching over me. He passed away on Halloween. I hadn't talked to him in 4 years so I really wanted to be there for him and now he will always be with me no matter if I'm doing good or bad.
