Tori Tsitouris

by Emry from Monroe

A hero to me is someone who I can look up to and someone who can get my life on the right track. A hero to me also has a lot of courage and makes the right choices. A hero needs to be someone with positive influences rather then negative ones. A hero is someone who helps you out when you need it and encourages you. Though we all have many heroes, mine happens to be my sister Tori.

A hero is someone that you can look up to. They are someone who can help you out when you're in time of need. Or just anytime, no matter if you deserve it or not. They never ask to be the center of attention, or want the spot light on them. They just do good deeds out of the kindness of their hearts. They always know what to do or say when they are in a tough situation. Heroes sacrifice a lot to do what they do, and yet they are still humble. A real hero doesn't do good things for something in return, they do it because it's the right thing to do, and for them there is no other way than doing the right thing!

Yes, we all have different heroes. Many people wouldn't consider their brother or sister as their hero, but for me that's different. My sister Tori is my hero. Even though she is only three years older then me, I look up to her tremendously. She's always there for me and always helps me out! She's a perfect example for me in my life. She's a student athlete with great grades and is always helping people out. I try to follow her example as much as I possibly can. Most siblings fight and disagree all the time, but we have become very close. I'm not saying we're perfect sisters that never have arguments. We do, but even when I'm as mean and ignorant as I could possibly be to her, she is still willing to help me out or whatever I need, and that's why I call her my hero.

Most people might say someone famous and popular is their hero. But is it really? I doubt it. Your hero is probably someone in your everyday life, just like mine is. Your hero can be someone who guides you when you need guidance. They could be the difference between you succeeding and failing in life. That's why Tori fits to be my hero in my life.
