I'm hugging my grandma (home)

I chose this person as my hero because she is my grandma and she has always been there when things were hard. I also chose my grandma as my hero because she is very responsible and, and has done a lot for me in the past 11 years.

The first trait I would like to talk about is sacrifice. My grandma sacrifices a lot for me. For example, she had to give up smoking. She also had to give up a small house when it was just my grandfather and her and her two kids. Now we live in a 5-storied house with A LOT of people. She had to give up a lot just for me.

My grandma is the most selfless person. She makes dinner for almost 20 people every night. She thinks about others and not just herself. For example, she doesn’t just cook dinner for herself, she thinks about other people. My grandma is very generous. My grandma doesn’t have to do all this for me but she chooses to because she is a good person. I love her very much.

My grandma overcomes difficulties A LOT! She deals with her grandson’s two kids everyday, because they live with her. One of them is in 2nd grade and the other is in 3rd. They are very hard to handle! There are also other people there too. There is my brother, my mom and dad, my grandma's two handicapped kids, my uncle Rodney, my grandpa and of course me. That is a lot of people in one house! My grandma overcomes difficulties a lot!

My grandma has a lot of courage! I don’t think my grandma is afraid of anything! I think I only know one thing she is scared of, and that is driving alone in the dark. She also has a lot of courage for me. She always tells me I can. For example, one time I told myself I’m not that good in gymnastics and she told me yes you are, and I bet you will even get better. After she told me that, I did get better in gymnastics. She has the most courage ever! My grandma is a good leader. She is the best to be like. She loves to read the bible and she eats healthy. She is a loving person, and she loves her family equally. I want to be just like her! She is the best leader ever.

That is why I chose my grandma as my hero. She would sacrifice her life for me. She is the most selfless person I know. She overcomes difficulties. She has a lot of courage. So basically, she is the best grandma ever, and she is my hero!
