Tammie

* a hero is somebody who is inspirational to you*

DEFINITION: My definition of a hero is somebody who does what they think is supposed to be done to take care of business and what's right. A hero is not somebody who wants to help somebody out because somebody tells them to. A hero is a person who wants to help out somebody who wants to help out in the community

OPINION: The reason why i think it is important to have a hero is because they can show you, inspire you to do things they you can never imagine. Like when you feel like giving up theyr'e always there to help you and make sure to try and help you achieve your goal in life. They will never settle for less than the best. A hero is a person who wants to help you, and not help you just to get something out of it. A hero is somebody who will be there when you need a shoulder to cry on.

MY PERSONAL HERO: My personal hero is my aunt Tammie. She is everything u can possibly look for in a hero, well she is for me. I've been through so very rough and hard times and the one person I look forward turning to is my aunt. She took care of me and my brother till i was 5 1/2 years old. She is battling cancer but she is not gonna let that hold her down. She is a strong lady. When one of my family members couldn't take care of her second child, my aunt adopted her. My aunt lets no one take advantage of her or tell her what's right or wrong because she knows how it is from the beginning. Every time i have a problem she knows before I even say a word. She knows there's a problem with me. If I want to yell at somebody she always tells me to calm down and tell her the problem so she can help me solve it. She's always trying to get me to read the Bible every day. She says it good for me.

HALL OF FAME: I think that this person should be in the hall of fame because, this person is inspirational. She knows how to do things that she knows are right. when somebody is not able to take care of somebody she steps up and take responsibility to the matter. This lady is somebody you could look back on and say that I am proud that this person was in my life and to direct me down the right path. And say that I have accomplished all that I could have done with the help of somebody who was willing to put their problems aside, and helps me with mine. This is why i think you should put this person into the hall of fame.
