A hero to me is somebody who does what needs to be done, a person who looks out for everybody not just themselves. And, this person does the right thing when nobody is looking.

I don't think it is important to have a hero as long as you make good decisions, try to do the right thing and have good morals. If you do that then I don't think you need to have a hero.

My personal hero is my dad. I believe he does the right thing most of the time. He tries very hard to provide for me and my sisters. He thinks about us kids when he is making a decision and if we need something he has already done it. That is why my dad is a hero.

My dad should be in the Hero Hall of Fame because he does everything for everybody. He is a role model for all of the people he comes in contact with. Also, he cares about everything and everybody. He sees the best in people and tries to mold them into great people.

Do you have a hero?     Yes.


Who do you respect most?    My dad.

How do you define being a hero?      Someone who puts other people above themselves and does what they say.

Can anybody become a hero?    Yes 
What do you admire most about heroes you hear about?   How they put themselves last.
Who is your favorite superhero? Superman.
What inspires you? Seeing others succeed.
What brings you joy? Seeing my children succeed.
What do you like to do in your free time? I like to watch movies.
Why should you be put in the Hero Hall of Fame? I shouldn't be because I am a work in progress.
