Breanna Reyes

My sister is a respectful person who helps animals.Personal photoMy parents have inspired Breanna in her life because they always push her to be someone great, and to help others even though they don’t ask for it and, to not give up her dreams. Breanna is most proud of accomplishing volunteering in the animal shelters. She did this because she wanted to help animals find a home and to receive love because there's always a second chance. Breanna helps me understand more about animals. For example, she always tells me that if I am scared of a dog that they can smell fear which makes the dogs bark and they feel that they have more power over us. Breanna feels very honored being called a hero because she never pictured herself as a hero. She considered herself the big sister that always helps her little brothers and sister when they need help. Breanna is very happy being called a hero; she thinks it is very exciting because she knows that someone is looking up to her even if they don’t know why she is called a hero

Her childhood was mostly her being a trouble maker. She always used to fight with her cousins because she always wanted attention and to be number one in her family. Breanna always told me never to fight with others because it’s bad and she always tells me “if you want respect then respect others like how you want to be respected.”  The advice Breanna would give to young people is to respect others the way you would like to be respected. Yes, I agree with Breanna because when you say something rude to someone in a bad way they can treat you the same thing and say bad things about you. That's starting to be called a bully which is the wrong impression and could lead to worst which I don’t want that to happen because we want to live in a better world.

One challenge in Breanna’s life would have been close to losing her life when she was coming home and not being able to breathe. My parents were asking for help to give her a ride to the hospital before it was to late. One elderly lady came to help them and take Breanna to the hospital and save her life. Overcoming something for Breanna like almost losing her life is very hard to accomplish but one thing she knows is that you're always going to have challenges throughout your life and you shouldn't stress yourself. People have always asked her “What would you change in your life?” Her answer is always she wouldn’t change anything because everything happens for a reason and good things always come around.

You just can’t say that a hero is person who saved your life. Yes, a hero can be someone that saves your life but it can also mean someone that gives you advice. Also a hero is a person who inspires you in your life. You can say that you don’t have a hero but everyone has a hero. Maybe people don’t realize that they do have a hero and say that they don’t have someone as a hero. Breanna gives me really good advice and that’s why I think Breanna is my hero.
