Uncle Henry

My Uncle Henry

DEFINITION: I think that anybody can be a hero if they want to. You don't have to be so spectacular or courageous. Its just about how you carry yourself and your character. Actions always speak louder than words.

OPINION: I think that having a hero is important. When you have heroes you can have somebody to look up to and to inspire you. Also it shows how other people are caring and respected. When you look up to other people as your hero it shows that you are wanted, appreciated, and recognized.

My Uncle

MY PERSONAL HERO: My personal hero in my life is my Great Uncle Henry. He is now 74 years old and lives in Canton, Ohio. I chose this person as my hero because first of all he cares for me. Whenever I see him he never forgets to give a hug and ask how you're doing. Also he was in the United States Army which I think that is very courageous because you are risking your life for others to protect our country. He never forgets anyone's birthday in the family, always sends you a card and money. And out of all of his eight brothers and sisters, he usually drives them around and he's the middle or 4th out of eight children. Plus he's my favorite Uncle.

HALL OF FAME: I think that my Uncle should be inducted into the hero hall of fame first of all because I think he's one of the most fun and interesting great uncles I've ever met. Next, he should be inducted into the hero hall of fame because he was in the United States Army. Also, he should be inducted because he cares for all humankind. He minds his own business. He helps people in need. I've never seen my uncle leave somebody empty handed or left without help. Also I think he should be inducted into the hero hall of fame because I love him and that would be a really cool award for someone so deserving.
