Tina Key

Another one of her and her trombone (Glenclif HS Competition.)

The literal definition of a hero in the Wikipedia Dictionary says that a hero usually fulfills the definitions of what is good and noble. The hero I am talking about is someone you look up to or admire. Many people might think that no one would ever consider them a hero. Anyone can be someone else’s hero. A kind, loving, and hardworking person is one I would look to for help and support. My hero is Tina Key. She is all of the previously mentioned qualities, and so much more. She is one of my best friends in the world and I would do anything to help her.

There she is again!! (Glenclif HS Marching Band Competition)

She would do most anything for anyone who needed help at that time. She would not let anyone down. If she told them she would do something, then she would come through no matter what the cost to herself. If she is told to do something, then she sets herself to do it and works to reach her goal.

Tina is very loving in that she goes to church on a regular basis, she takes time to do for others expecting nothing in return, and you can sit down with her and talk to her about most anything and she will listen to the entire conversation and do her best to help you work through your problems the best way she knows how. It takes a lot to make Tina mad and even though she can yell at people sometimes, she beats herself up about it later. She could not stay mad at anyone even if she tried.

Tina's the one in the middle holding the trombone. (At the Glenclif High School competition.)

She is one of the most hard-working individuals I have ever known in my entire life. She plays the trombone in the Portland High School Marching Panther Band and the concert band. She has to learn how to march and play all three of the songs that we out on the field in two weeks. She handles everything you could possibly attempt to throw at her and more. She is calm, peaceful, and down to earth.

In conclusion, Tina Key is the most enjoyable person to have as a friend because she is kind, loving, and hard-working and she applies this into everything that she does. She is one of the best friends I have ever had and she always will be. For these reasons and many more, Tina Key is my hero.
