My hero is the person I look up to, which is my dad. My dad's name is Todd Groce. He lives with me in Savannah, Georgia. For his job he works as the boss at the Georgia Historical Society. He loves to go to his job and so do I. He is always going on business trips but I don’t really mind. Because that means I get to stay up late at night watching television with my mom and my dog.

My dad is constantly putting others before himself. One minor example of that is that he never says what he wants unless no one can think of what they want. My dad also always keeps a cool head. My dad even has great discipline. He disciplines me, but he only does it for my best interests because he doesn’t want me to make a fool of myself when I get older. He can also be very strict when you're bad but he is more of a lovable teddy bear.

One similarity between Greek heroes and my father is that they are both devoted to whatever they start. Another is that they are both smart brave and strong. A difference between Greek heroes and my father is that he has never made a mistake he has regretted because he makes the best out of it. Another is that he never gets angry or mad. My father is without a doubt the most incredible hero in the world.
