I do really have a hero but someone i look up to would be Marc. He has many qualities ranging from Very Wise to Inappropriet. The quality i admire the most is his ability to care and his helpfulness. It is easy working with Marc becuase of his humor filled personality along with his caring and his helpfulness. I believe i am already somewhat like him but lacking in the knowledge part. To be more like him i would have to go to school for a long time and watch a lot of XXX...hahaha....jk..
If someone veied me as a hero i wouldn't really like it cuzx then they would think i could do all these things for them but then when i can't they will be disapointed and i don't want that to happen.

One of my heroes is my dad. My dad can do so much in such a little amount of time. He works to help support my family, and does a lot of household chores. My dad make himself and my family dinner every night. He is a very generous person. My dad has his own heating and coolnig business, and he works for Chrysler also. My dad will help others with heating and cooling problems with no charge to them a lot of the time. Also, he is never late for anything, and you can always depend on him. When I'm older I hope I'm as good of person as my dad. I plan on being more generous, and I plan to use the skills my dad has taught me. Also, I will never be late for anything, because I am so use to always being early, or on time. I have a lot to thank my dad for, and I really hope I can be like him when I'm his age.

When I was younger I was a hockey player. I played for a few different teams and played for about 8 years. I used to admire Steve Yzerman. Yzerman was captain of the Detroit Red Wings and I consider him as one of my heros. He was persistent. he valued perserverance, and was a loyal team member. He was definately a role model and mentor for younger people. One of the things that almost all teenagers have in common is that they have younger siblings. I think that young siblings always think of their older siblings as heros. Most kids also look up to their parents as heros.

My hero is my Grandpa Tom. He is retired civil service/US intelligence. This man was a great leader to our country and has many interesting stories to tell. One of his greatest qualities is the advice he has to offer. He is a very intelligent man and wants me to accomplish great things in my life. My Grandpa has faith in me and pushes me to strive to reach my full potential. Listening to his war storie and the interesting facts he knows about our country are some of my greatest memories. Also, he gives back to his community by being involved with things such as meals on wheels. I would emulate this person in the future by trying to make this world a better place to live in. My plan is to attend college, learn as much I can and pass on the wisdom that I learn. Continue to give back to others and be respected by my family and friends.

One of my heroes was my Grandma. She passes away a few years ago due to a rare blood disease. I reall miss her. A quality that I admire most about her is that she was a very patient person. She always kept calm in many difficult situations. Her life wasn't a fantasy, much like anyone elses. This rare blood disease was the last thing that she needed in her old age. She did lead a good life, there is no doubt about that but there were many hard times. I also admire her perserverance. She was a fighter. Many times the doctors said she had but one week to live but she lived for more than a year after. I can emualte her by being the best that I can be in her memory. I think about her always.

My hero is my dad. Right now, he has been working in Ohio for the past three weeks just for our family. He is such a generous person, and he is always trying to give my family everything we need and more. He works like crazy so my sister and I can dance and so that my brother and I can go to college in the soon future. My dad is really funny, and acts like a kid, which is embarrassing sometimes, but usually its cool. He and I watch football together every Sunday, and its nice to spend time with him since we both have really busy schedules. My dad is also very supportive. He has always encouraged me to do my best, and I know that he wants me to have a good future. I can thank my dad for having the type of work ethic I have today because he has taught me how to succeed. I look up to my dad in so many ways. He is my hero because he is someone I can always depend on and look to for help.

One of my heroes has been my friends dad, Mr.Ed. Mr.Ed is a honest hard working dad. Due to the hard economic times Mr.Ed has to do 2 jobs, one in the morning and one at night. But one of the main things that impresses me about him is that he finds the way to get the things done, that he needs to get done. I would eulate Mr.Ed by being a hard working father. To make sure that my kids get the things they need, and some of the things they want. I want to raise my kids to be nice kids that arnt stupid. Some people view me as a hero, not a lot but some. Mostly because im nice to most people that I meet, unless they are mean to me first. Also little kids view me as as hero because I am realy good at sports and some kids want to be as awesome me.

Clare Pathe said...

My hero would have to be my mom. To me, my mom is the best mom out there. She makes my family a good dinner every night and works hard to put my sister and I through college. Growing up, my mom didnt have the best family and didnt do very well in school. When she was a junior in highschool, she realized that she didnt want to stay home, while all of her friends went to college. So she started working her butt off in school and applied to colleges. She ended up getting into Eastern. Now she is a succesful teacher in Waterford. I admire that she perservered in highschool and made sure she got a good education, even if it wasnt easy. I will emulate my mom in the future, because i feel i am like she was in highscool. School doesnt come easy, i really have to try and perservere to get good grades. I am not just naturally smart, i have to study really hard and try really hard to get the grades i want. My mom is truly the best, and i hope i am just like her when i grow up.

My Opa has been one of my most respected heros. He was in the Veitneam war and has help design some of todays war machines. So qualities that make admire him are: hes someone I can carry an intellegent conversation with, and go to if I ever need help. A way that I could emulate would be going into the army or help design war machines. I think this would be very cool and it would give me a good feeling for contributing to the help of our soldiers. This would make people see me as a hero because they would realize that I was doing good for our country. My opa is my hero and always will be.

One of my all time heroes is Cassius Marcellus Clay aka Muhammad Ali. Muhammad's swagger, determination and achievements are all things that make me admire him both as a person and as an athlete. Ali's swagger can never be imitated or reproduced. His swagger was showed nothing but confidence, so much confidence it often intimidated opposing fighters. His determination was amazing, He was always in the gym working to become the greatest of all time. HIs achievements are unmatched up to this point he is and was probably the most recognized boxer of all time. he was also the Heavy wight champion for many many years. This is how he earned his title of greatest of all time. Now and in the future i would like to emulate his confidence and work ethic to become successful in what ever path i choose. I defiantly would like to be seen as a hero of some sort when i get older. ever since i was little i have loved super-heroes and have wanted to become one. This is why when i get older i would like to join the coast guard or become a firefighter, so i can save lives for a living.

I dont really have a hero but i do look up to my bestfriend brittney. She has helped me through alot and has always been there for me. If i do somthing wrong she makes sure to tell me that i am wrong. This person has many qualities that make me admire her, she is kind and loving and is always there for everyone. I am pretty much like her already in every way, we share like everything. I dont think i would want someone to view me as a hero, that would make me feel like i have to be better then what i can be. I dont know if i would be a verry good hero anyways.

I look at my mom as my hero. The qualites that she has is that she is cool under pressure, she works two jobs in the same station, she works most weekends and she is a workoholic. Now i believe she works so much to pay the bills and keep a roof under our familys head and i really appreciate that. Unlike my brother who is an ungrateful piece of crap who is the most self-centered person in the world doesnt understand that my mom has gone through hell and back for us. But thats another story, I will always look up to my mom because she is such a strong and independent woman and i admire that. I really dont think anyone can look up to me just yet because i havnt done anything to deserve such an honor. Some day i hope that someone will look up to me but that time is not now.

I don’t really have a hero but I do have someone I look up to. That would be my aunt. She is always there for me. I can tell her anything and trust with my life she won’t tell anyone else. I am the same with her. I guess you could say that she is my best friend. Although she’s more than. She has been there for me since I was born. I am there for her anytime she needs me and I know things that no one else does, not her sister (my mom) her mom or her husband. I love having that kind of relationship with her. I want to have that kind of relationship with my son/daughter or nephew/niece. It really helps me a lot like by telling her things I cant to any body else. It helps because I have an adults view on the situation and better advice. I’m also not afraid to ask her anything or tell her anything

Jessica klave said...

honestly my mom would be my hero. She has been through a lot in her life, she raised me on her own for awhile when my dad divorced her. when my dad divorced her it was a big surprise, i was only three and my dad had his own company so he told my mom to quit her job, shortly after he filed a divorce. She had to raise me on her own with out a job. she is probably the strongest women ive known. i look up to my mom a lot. she is always there for me and isnt very pushy thats what i love about my mom. I can always come to her no matter what. im a lot like my mom so i honestly think that i will grow up to be like her. hopefully one day ill grow up and have someone look up to me as a hero as i do to my mom.

Grant said...

My hero would have to be Notorious B.I.G. Biggies hardwork, determination and class are just a couple qualities that give me a good reason to admire him. The quality i admire most is his determination to provide for his family and just make money. I wish i could be like biggie because his rhymes are sick. I would love to be able to copy his work ethic. If someone viewed me as a hero it would be cool. But unfortunately i would let them down for sure.

Alanna Nagi said...

Over the years, my mom has always been my hero. She's not like your everyday mom. She's fun, funny, gives good advice, definitely a hard worker, and does a lot of people. My mom and I have a very close relationship. Were so close, that I tell her everything. From school, grades, who and what is making me mad, to all the drama and gossip I hear through the grape vine. One of my favorite qualites about my mom, is that she is a really hard worker. She's been working at her job for just about twenty years now, and she still treats each year, like it's her first, and trying to make a food impression. She is someone who will get a long with everyone just to avoid a conflict. She lets things slide that are very unnecessary, and she won't talk behind another persons back. How I would like to try and emulate this person in the future, is work as hard as she does, not try to get involved with everything and everyone around me, and just stick to my duty. I feel that because she just focus' on her job, that's what she is one of the best out of all the OR nurses. Also, that is why all the doctors want her to be scrubbed in, in their room.

My mom is deffiantly one of my heros. I admire that she's always there for me and is very respectful. She's also smart, nice, and stands up for what she believes in. She's someone I can look up to and thrive to be like. I can emulate this person by following the morals and values shes taught me. This is because I believe morals and values create who you are as a person. I don't think people have viewed me as their hero because I haven't really done anything yet that has set me apart from everyone else. However, if they did I would love it because it means that I'm admired and effected their life in some way.

to start this blog i would like to start off by saying how much i hate this god damn blogging due to the fact that i just typed about a 30 sentence blog and it allllllllll got deleted.

Growing up i have never looked up to anybody else more than my own father. My dad was raised in no rich home or family but a family that was known for hard work. As my dad grew up, he worked to his best ability, attending 4 years of college at farris state university. Farris is nothing by like U of M but it got the job done. My dad then raised me the same he was raised, to be very hard working and always give 110% at everything i do. Another my dad preached to me in life is to not worry bout anybody else but myself till my job was done. I really believe in this all though i am very social but do see its true meaning. He always has told me bever to trust anybody. This means not to waste me time and money on anything that needs to be repaired or built such as a car, home or even and house hold items. He believes that nothing in life can be done to your own expectations unless its done by yourself. My dad has always shown me love and dedication in school, sports and in life. I know he wants me to be the best i can be in life and is there whenever i need it. His support is extrordinary as he attends all sportinbg events and gets me whatever he believes will help me and move me up in life in whatever the thing maybe. I love my dad alot and hopefully one day will gat the chance to be just like him and pass on to my kids the love he has shown me as i have been raised.

Honestly, I don't really have a hero, but someone I admire is my grandpa. He is a World War 2 vetean. He is from scottland and i absoluelty love his and my grandma's accent! He does everything he can to make others happy and to put a smile on their faces. Recently, my grandma has been forgetting ALOT and my grandpa is alwasy by her side. It is so sweet. My grandpa supports all his grandchildren and his kids as well. He gives life lessons which can get annoying sometimes, but he's just trying to help out. The one thing he told my mom growing up, which I agree with also, is to live a good life, don't miss out on great opportunites and to try your best at everything you do. It would be cool to be someones hero. That means that I have done good things that inspires othres to want to do the same.

Eric Tamm said...

One of my heroes is my cousin. He went through school with excellent grades and lots of frineds. He is still very young (i think late 20's), and he has a very successful career and is making a lot of money. While not everything should be about material items and money, he seems to have it all. He went to Kettering University and became a Mechanical Engineer. He went through the co-op program they have there, and as soon as he graduated, the company offered him a job, even in this economy. However, he declined it, and accepted another job that paid about twice as much. He is now raking in the dough. As you can see, while many people are struggling to find jobs, he is struggling to decide which job to take. I want to be just like him when I get older. I want to be as hard working, and I want to lead myself in a great direction, with lots of money. To emulate him, I think I have to concentrate on my future and work hard. I would hope that many people would view me the same way, and I think some of them might already.

allyson martin said...

My mom is probably one of my biggest heros. i think most everyones hero is someone in their family. she can be strict at times, but more than anything shes my friend. shes always looking out for me even when i get annoyed or angry. i can sit and talk to her for hours about nothing. shes very hardworking, and is at the top of what she does. i hope to one day be as successful as she is. something i admire, but envy more, is how fit she is. shes like a stick. and she ways less than me. she always watchs what she eats and works out. something i can never so because i don't have ANY self control. shes also very patient, times when i would freak out shes very calm with me.

Cody Kabisa said...

Along with other people, my hero is my dad. He is a hard worker and does anything for our family. He's been working at the Dodge Truck Plant in Warren for 9 years now. He thought that by this time he'd be on days and would be able to spend more time with his family. He's been working afternoons so I never see him unless he doesnt work the weekends. He gets home at 12-12:30 at night and leaves at 1:30 in the afternoon. He is a very generous person and almost always has a smile on his face. I think I am somewhat like him already, but lacking in many areas. He shows lots of hard work and I have yet to get a job. He gets things done and I tend to put things off untill the last minute. I dont think I would want people to view me as a hero. If you did something wrong people would be angry at you and I wouldnt want that.

Who is/has been one of your heroes? Discuss what qualities this hero had that made you admire him/her/it. How would you emulate this person in the future and maybe even have people view you as a hero?
My hero has always been Wayne Gretzky. He was an idol to many and the best player ever to step on the ice. The fact that he was the best player, is enough to make him my hero. Next, he has a graat personality and very generous. He was always one to not boast about his records and always signed autographs and talked to media. He also gives alot back to the game of hockey. He donates mone for kids in low economic areas for gear and bills. I find this very admiring. I think to emulate him in the future, i have to get better. Well, as that may be out of reach i think that giving back to the game would be huge. I think i should voulenteer more at the arena to show i care about others coming up in the hockey world.

Mike said...

Someone I look up to is Thierry Henry. Henry is a french soccer player. He plays offense and has many weapons to get past the defense. Despite recent news of him using his hand to stop a ball, then score to eliminate Ireland from the World Cup, he is noble. He is young, full of energy, and still playing at 100% skill. To be more like Henry in the future, I can be more humble. Also, I can work really hard and get really good at what I do, then, maybe,I can be someone's hero.

Kaleigh S said...

One of my heroes is my dad. He is a good father, a good husband, a good son, and all around an amazing person. He knows how to use tough love and has raised me to be a good kid. He sometimes comes across as a very stern and not very emotional person, but I think that's just from many years of being a team leader in the engineering field. People who really know my dad always tell me how sweet and caring he is. One of my friends watched him help two ladies push their car out of a snow bank. My dad has also always been there for my mom as a husband. When she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in her thirties, he stayed with her and supported her just as much as before. Many people leave their spouse when they discover they have a difficult disease. My dad though, stayed and I see little notes he'll leave for her saying, "I love you" or, "I'll miss you today" when he doesn't get to see her in the morning. In addition to this, my dad truly cares about his entire family. My parents had to make the decision to put my 5 year-old dog to sleep a couple days ago, and everyone was really upset. It didn't hit me until after I tried to write my poem on love for history class and I was talking about missing someone that I was really upset, and I started crying and couldn't stop. I ran downstairs to my dad and he stopped lifting weights and gave ame a hug and carried me over to a couch so I could just hug him and cry. He puts his family first, and I think in order to emulate him, I should follow this trait. He always seems to not get too caught up in the moment and knows how to use his head to make decisions rather than responding purely on emotion. If I want people to view me as my hero, I need to do the right thing even if it's not the easiest, just as my dad always does. I have to love those I truly care about and show them daily that I value them in my life.

Unknown said...

I have hero, and someone i really look up to. My hero is Ryan Diehl. He is my sister's boyfriend. He has been dating my sister for 3 years, and we have been getting to know each other very well and have become good friends. He is currently in the USMC. United States Marine Corps. He is very admirable because he constantly risks his life just so that we can sleep at night. I will always respect him. I want to and yet i dont. I want to have the same qualities as him and be respected, but i dont want to go into the marines.

Cheesy as it is, my hero is my girlfriend. She's always trying to help me whether I just have a bad day or if I need help with homework. She's even helped me get over most if not all of my shyness. She's a kind, outgoing, intelligent person and I look up to her. I actually emulate part of her personality already. Before I even met her I always liked to help people. I can only hope to become more outgoing over time, as of now I'm usually only talkative around my friends, family, and my girlfriend. Hopefully someday I can be viewed as a hero.

A hero I look up to is my dad. My dad doesnt live with me, yet he comes home every weekend to visit. My dad always works hard, he never takes breaks. When he comes home, he does things around the house that need to be fixed. Last sunday for example, instead of kickin back and watchin football, he spent a good amount of his time putting lights up around the house. My dad always tries to consider whats in our families best interest. When we always moved when I was younger, I didnt understand hwy and so I was angry at my dad for always giving us the news that were moving again. He lives in connecticut now, and instead of moving there with him, hes letting me finish highschool here. I would emulate my dad by keeping my prioities straight. I dont know if I would want people to look at me as a hero. I feel like if they did, they might be getting the worng impression of me.

My hero that I have looked up to for a long time was my oldest cousin on my dad's side, Danny. He has many things that make me look up to him. He is always so nice, and very mature at family gatherings like Christmas. He also just recently graduated college, bought a house, and got married. All of those things are great, but the reason I look up to him is because he was an outstanding athlete. He was a monster in the weight room. His senior year of highschool he could bench 525 pounds, and by his senior year of college; 585 pounds. He also played football all through high school and college. Thats the thing I learned most about from him. I do actually try to emulate my cousin in his attitude toward football and stuff, because hes good and I look up to that and also want to do good. To have people view me in the future as a hero I think would be too much responsibility, and Im not ready for that so I dont think I would like it.

Chris L. said...

While this is not a surprise, one of my heroes is my Dad. Just as a word of note - I believe that it is a great thing to look up to parents as heroes. There is a certain kindness and humility that mine have shown all throughout my childhood. My Dad is a great person. He is very nice, friendly to other people, and can crack one of those Uhggggg! jokes once and a while. I would like to emulate my Dad by showing compassion toward other people. I would also like to be as good of a writer as he is. I am hoping to be viewed like my father in the future. He is my hero.

Chloe Martin 6th said...

My hero is definitely my mom. she has the greatest strength i think i have ever seen in anyone. besides her strength she is the most hopeful and positive person i know. When my mom was 39 she was diagnosed with MS, which disrupts nerve sending. there is no cure for MS, but she overcame it. She no longer has any symptoms that MS caused, she cured MS in herself. that strength is unbelievable, it defies medicine, but she did it. And four years ago she lost her son. she carried my family, her strength and her hopefulness pushed us through such a hard time. i don't think i could ever explain to her what a huge positive impact she has had on my life, she has encountered such horrible things, but she has never given up. she's always positive and always will be. to emulate my mom, i've got to get a hell of a lot stronger and more positive. I can be negative a lot but i'm working on it. has anyone viewed me as a hero? i honestly don't know. i'm not sure if i have affected someone's life that much, but i will one day!

Jordan said...

Well a couple months ago I would have said Tiger Woods but not quite anymore. But Seriously my biggest hero is probably my dad. Probably because hes the coolest guy I know. He always knows what to do and he works his ass off. He provides for his family and no matter how shitty his day was he manages to stay happy. He passes traditions down through the family. I think Ive already started to emulate him but I just learn something new from him eveyday. I hope im just as good to my kids as he is.

For me I don't just have one hero, I have many. My hero's are my friends. They each have their own qualities that I look up to. They make me the person I am today. I wouldn't take back one minute with them. Each one of them has taught something different. I wouldn't want to emulate my friends. I want to be my own person and have people look up to me for my own qualities. I think that if I use the things my friends taught me then people will look up to me. For all the choices that I made then maybe I will be able to change someones view on life or even help them become a better person.

My father is my hero. When at work at Chrysler, he fought to make the cars safer. This is difficult because safety improvements cost money. When your performance review is based on the cost of your product extra costs are not welcome. Fortunately, my dad is the kind of guy who stands up to people and explains to them how safety saves them money in the long run. Because my dad did this Chrysler cars became much safer. I admire my father’s courage and determination, I also admire the fact that my father can stand up in a room full of people and tell them they are wrong. I also admire my father taught us from a very young age to use our safety belts. Even at home he wanted to protect as many people as he can.
I hope to emulate my father by doing a job that would help other people be safe. Most people won’t realize it was me that kept them safe, so I won’t get the recognition but that is cool with me.

Dan Calma said...

One of my heros is my dad. My dad always goes out of his way to help others. He doesn't really care about himself, but he cares about his friends and family like no other. He is literally like Might Mouse haha. He loves to work on cars and he is pretty damn amazing at it. I try to do what he does. I try to go out of my way and help others, no matter what happens to me. I don't want people to see me as a hero. I honestly don't want to be remembered after I leave this world.

Katrina said...

I know it sounds kind of cliche but my hero is my mom. She does so much for me and doesnt always get a thank you in return. But she keeps doing it anyways. Also, i really admire her drive. She works as much as she can and still finds time for so much more. I also admire her faith. she is a christian and has a great relationship with god. I really admire that i wish i had the same. I know i can but its just not something i have right now in my life. Also, she is very calm tempered and deals with situations very well. I really just respect her as my mom and as a person and i hope one day i will take one some of her great qualities.

One of my heroes would be my cousin. He served in the military since 2005. Since the middle of this year, 2009, he was honorably discharged. He was deployed 2 times. The first was straight into Iraq and the second time he had to go into Afghanistan.I admire him because he was willing to risk his life for his country. If I was going to be like him I would join the military and fight for my country.

Priscilla Call said...

One of the heros in my life has been my grandma. My granda has many qualities that I admire. One of them would be her strength. Not physically but mentally. She's has almost all of her sons and daughter, her husband, mother nad father die in her life time, and I know it was really tough for her. I can only imagine what that would feel like. But she pushes through that everday. My grandma is always there when we need her and whenever we don't have power she lets us come over a shower at her house <3. I would like to be a lot like my grandma when I am older andeven now. I always want to stay strong no matter what happens in my life.

Anonymous said...

My hero is my grandma. I have always looked up to her and trusted her more than my own parents. When I am having a bad day or sad about something she can always make me feel better. She always puts other people first and is a very caring person in whatever she does. I admire her for a lot of the choices she has made in life and setting a good example for me. She had gone through some pretty tough times but has always managed to come through with her head up and that's something for me to look up to. I can emulate her in the future by being the best person I can and also not letting my mistakes hold me down. Another big thing is to keep a positive attitude about everything going on in my life. If people look up to me and view me as a hero, then that's great but I'm not going out looking for someone to admire me. I'm not living my life for what everyone else thinks about me, the important thing is that I'm happy with who I am in the end.

Someone i admire in my life would probably have to be my friend Deana. I look up to her because she has been through a lot in her life, but she still gets trough evry without dweeling on the negitive in her life. She lives for today and not yesterday or waht may have happened in her past. I can emualte this person in the future by remembering that i have a good life, there are many people out there who have it worse. And i will always remember to my life for today and the future not yesterday

One of my greatest heroes is my grandfather. My grandpa has many qualities that I admire him for. I have always looked up to him, my entire life. He is a really hard working person and he never gives up. My grandpa Charley never asks for help, which at times make him seem stubborn but overall, his great success in life is completely self made. He also is very caring and never pauses for a second to do the right thing for others. I hope to emulate him in the future by always remembering to work hard for myself. I am not afraid of work, which is something that I believe he has taught me. I hope that in the future I can learn to not give up as easily as I do right now. I'd hope that if I could be as caring and hard working as my grandfather, then I could possibly be viewed by others as a hero.

One of my heroes would be my sister. Shes made me admire her because shes been through a lot of stuff, and still super strong. She never lets anything get her down. Also, she tries her hardest at everything, and doesnt give up. In the future I wanna be determined, and not let things get me down. When I'm older I want people to look at me as a person like my sister. Someone that would do anything for anyone, and someone thats really loyal.

My hero is Peyton Manning. Ever since I was about 8 I have always loved Peyton Manning. Even though basketball is my favorite sport, Peyton is my favorite athlete. Also I don’t like him just because he puts up ridiculous numbers consistently every single game; I like him because of who is as a person. Most importantly he is my hero. I admire him because of everything he does. He’s a good guy on and off the field. It would be cool to have people view myself as there hero. Even though it is highly unlikely I’m not saying it’s impossible.

One of my heros is my dad. He is hard working and always there for me. I like how we joke around alot, and he supports me with what i do. My dad pushes my buttons and jokes around, but when it comes down to it hes always there. He is hard working and never gives up. When he does something he always wants it to be the best and over acheive. If my dad doesnt like the way somethings done hell just do it again. I wish i had the ability to push myself as hard as my dad does. He never lets anyone down, and always gives his best effort. I wish i could work as hard as he does, and strive to be the best as he also does. In the future, i will take some of the responsiblities my dad had and strive for success and work as hard as he does. I will show that hard work does pay off, and keep a positive attitude(my dad lacks that part though). I could then be viewed as a hero by setting a good example, by showing how success comes from giving your best efffort.

My hero would be my daddy(: some qualitys that my dad has is he's very independent. He always has good reason to why he's doing something. My dad can fix almost everything and not have problems. I have the best relationship with my dad, and I look up to him. How I would emulate him would be to be able to help my family and try and work things out the best way possible. Hes more of a person to talk things out nicely, rather than fight things out. but dont get me wrong I love my mommy too(:

One of my hero's would be my parents. they are my hero because both are both very smart person. they both works almost seven days a week to come home and and support us and let me and my sister have a good childhood. They both work very hard for what we have right now. I would have to say i love my life and what they have done for me. both my parents went to great colleges and have a good paying job. I would look up to them because im trying to follow in there foot steps. I want to be able to give my children as good as a house as i have now, as nice as a car that i have. I have gotten everything i have wanted and everything i never thought i would have. Like my car i've wanted a red mustang my entire life. Now i have one. I want to be able to give all that to my children.

Jamie Tworkowski is my hero. He is the founder of To Write Love On Her Arms. Which is a non-profit organization to help people who suffer with abuse, self-injury, addiction and suiside. The story started with one girl, and has turned into thousands of kids. Its helped many people survive. I would LOVE to create something SO wonderful, and so beneficial to someone. He has changed many lifes, and its a goal of mine to change someones life, or more than one persons life. I would be honored to create something like he did, that helps so many people, and have kids look up to me, like I look up to him. He has become my inspiration to change myself for the better. He is my hero.

If you feel so inclined, go to www.twloha.com and read "The Story". Its not too long, but it gives an understanding to how much he has done.

One of my heros is George Harrison. I admire him because he believes in peace and lvoe and that they can chnage the world. George was also a big fan od meditation and hinduism or buddhism. On top of writing inspireing music, George inspired me to veiw the world and life with love and passion,a nd still does today. He was always my favorite Beatle, because I could realte with him so well. I will try to emulate him by being peaceful and practicing meditation. I want to help the world and George has been part of so many charities and good deeds. I have always wanted to do the same. Hopefully someday someone will look up to me as a hero, because I think everyone needs someone to look up to.

I would have to say tht one of my heros would be my grandma. She is such a nice and caring person, who would do anything for anyone. She is always there if you need someone to talk to or just need a place to get away from people.She also doesnt complain, or let certain things hold her back. She recently got diagnoised with Lukimia and even though she has good and bad days, she doesnt whine or complain on bad days. And that is one thing I admire most is that she doesnt sit around complaining about things when shes sick. She also likes to get things done and do them well, you could say she has pride in everything she does. I feel like when im older I could just continue to be a good person. I think if I work hard and am sucessful that I could be like her and maybe be someone elses hero one day.

One of my heros is definatly my grandma. She was really down to earth, and had a good sense of humor that always made bad things seem alot better. She also had alot of values, some that i agree with and some i dont, but she defended her beliefs and values with soooo much pride. It makes me proud when i can do the same. I try to be like her in many ways, and i think that i kind of am, only less old fashoned, but thats a givin. I really dont think that people see me as a hero because i havnt really done anything notable, at least not yet. I hope that someday people will look up to me as a hero for who i am too.

I have never really had a true hero that i look up to all the time. But a person i really look up to is my dad. My dad has been sorta my idol most of my life. especially while i was a kid, he would always show me how to work on his cars, and would take me to work often. He was always around when i needed someone, and when times got hard, he wouldn't quit, he always gets up for work, hes always great to talk to, he always put people before him, and i wanna be more like him when i grow up. my dad also know what i like so thats a good thing for when christmas rolls around.

One of my heros is my dad. He was extremely hard woriking. My dad owned his own buisness and always took care of my family. He was nice and he always showed us love. In the future i want to provide for my family like he did. I want to be hard working and happy all the time. My dad was also a hero in other peoples lives by how happy he was all the time. Many people remember his laugh and his smile. I want to be able to walk into a room and have my smile make other peoples day.
