MY HERO SALOMON BAUTISTA

My hero is my dad, Salomon Bautista. He was a soldier. He showed he was a leader by going around and stopping cars. He and his partner would check for stuff like drugs, weapons with no license, or other illegal stuff. When he was out in battle, at war, sometimes people would bring him injured, and he healed them. They had gun shots or broken bones. Once, he went outside with a gun and some partners and went to rescue someone from getting beat up, taken hostage, then killed. When he helped pick people up from the floor and took them to the base.

He showed honor by helping the injured. When someone dies, he gets sad. If the guy that died had a family, they would cry because he died. He was sad when his friend was on a motorcycle and the enemy in a semi-truck rammed him over, and he went flying and hit a railing and died. He had passion to be a soldier. When he was a little boy he dreamed of helping people in the U.S and México. So, when he was 18 or 20, he went into the army. He wanted to go in the war zone and help get injured people. But first he had to learn how to operate. He had a gun and medical equipment so he could shoot people in his way to get to the person and give him something to get better. Then, he would carry him on his shoulder and take him to the base and heal him. He would go over and over to get people and to heal them. He healed them so fast; they would go back to the war zone in a week or less He is responsible. When he says something, he will do it. One time, he went with his partner and chased someone with more than 1,000 bags of drugs like marijuana and hallucinogenic mushrooms.

He has confidence to go to the army and help the country. He had confidence to get in front of people and save them from getting shot. When he doesn’t do anything, he plays soccer with his friends or any kind of sports. He is one of the best soccer players there. He preferred to get in trouble from his boss just to go to my soccer game.

In conclusion my hero is my dad. Some reasons are he is responsible, has confidence, passion, and honor. That to me is what I call a person a hero.

The Silver Soldier Is My Dad?

They call me silver soldier.
I sometimes ride in a green car hearing gun shots at people at war.
I ran through the smoke to save someone.
I pick him up and hide behind something so I could heal him.
I could feel the blood bursting out of him then I healed it.
