Stretching to be helpful! (home picture)

My hero is my sister. The reason I picked my sister is because, she is always trustworthy, willing to sacrifice, stand up for others, tries her best, is peaceful, positive, and acts like a role model. She is trustworthy because, you could send her away with $200 just to get a piece of candy and she will always come back with the right amount of change every time! She can be in a room full of gold and just watching it, and she won't even dare to touch it because she knows what would be in store for her when the owners come back home and she is honest.

She is willing to sacrifice because she is always giving stuff up for people, mostly me, and that is why I will never forget about her no matter how far or close she is always in my heart!

She is also willing to sacrifice because she said to me before she left that if there is anyone in the world who would want to hurt me she would always be there even. Even if she’s not physically here she’s always in my heart. I think that is what willing to sacrifice is all about:, giving up something special in this case it was her life.

The way that she stands up for others is that she always always put a finger up for some one especially when that person is me getting bullied by or getting called names cause that’s what happened before but she went out there and just talked because I figured something different but I was so wrong.

My sister is always trying her best if she’s not succeeding it is not her, and she is always helping others like my mom when she needed her help she would always be there and trying her best, to succeed in what she was doing.

She is also peaceful cause even though she will sometimes get frustrated she will always stay her calmest especially when she’s around other people. She will go up in her room if she has to just get away to let out her anger cause she is embarrassed to show her emotions, sometimes she will even come and tell me what is going on so that she still keeps her cool. She is never let down by anything.

She is also positive because she’s never let anything happen to me because of it. She is always counted on and you could look up to her and say stuff about her badly and she will never care what you say about her. She will always stay positive in her mind!

She will always be my role model because she used to always look down to me and say to me “I love you the way you are not by the way you dress or by the way you act but by the way you are” and I would never be able to say anything like that to my little sister if I had one. She would also say that when she moved to Mexico that “I would be the first person she would think about and remember”. I love my big sister and NO one could ever replace the love of her in the world even if it were to be a celebrity. That is why I picked my sister as my hero!
