First, a hero to me is a person who would inspire me to do something. This person is a hero to me because he inspires me to do skateboard tricks. Also a hero to me is someone who will give charity and money to kids. Being a hero would be hard for someone to deal with, but I think that Andrew Reynolds does a good job with it. If he can inspire me to skateboard and be my hero, then he would probably be a hero for someone else too.
