      There are  many heroes in the world, but I relate to one successful rapper that never gave up and his name is Tyga. My hero is about Tyga, the reason why I picked him is because he became a successful rapper and also he helps children follow their careers in life and teaches them to never give up.

     Tyga was born in November 19, 1989; he is now 22 years old. Tyga lives in California and he also was from California too. The name "Tyga" isn't his real name, his real name is Micheal Ray Nguyen-Stevenson but his stage name is "Tyga" and it stands for "Thank You God Always". Tyga was the only child in his family while growing up, he always make little rap lyrics when he was little. Tyga is of mixed heritage, he is African American/Asian.  Tyga`s mother was Vietnamese and his dad was Jamaican.

     Another reason why I picked Tyga as my hero is because Tyga had no struggle during his lifetime as he was the only child. He always wanted to become a successful rapper and make it to the big dream.  When he was little, Tyga always lyrics in his notebook everyday and made up a rap and always rapped to himself in his room.

      As Tyga became older and older, he made videos of his raps and posted them on YouTube. Even though he didn`t get many views or fans, he still never gave up. By June 10, 2008, he finally made his own song and it was released by Decaydance Records, and that's when he became big. After his release, he got bigger and bigger and became famous for his raps. He also released 2 albums with Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Bow-Wow, and other artists.

     Finally when Tyga became big and famous, he decided to help children become successful too. Tyga would tour around different schools and performed to them and also talked to them about how they should "Never Give Up" on their dreams of what they want to become. As he toured around the schools, he even got more famous and made it to MTV, and now everyone knows him. He would have millions of views on his videos, have a lot of likes of his pictures, etc. Now, Tyga is touring around different states and made an album called "Careless World".  Tyga is mature, kind, and also a good role model to never give up. Tyga is a strong guy that never gave up even though he'd been through a lot.  He can relate to children and that's why I pick Tyga as my hero.
