There are many heroes out there, but my hero is
my mom. My mom is my hero because she supports me.
She supported me when I needed help. Damola F.
Out of many heroes, this one is mine. My hero's
name is Ronnie. Ronnie is my big brother. I really
look up to him. He never does anything that I don't
want him to do, and he is very respectful. He is
really kind and isn't mean to me at all. He is a
very considerate person. Ronnie respects other
people's belongings, he respects other people, and
he respects himself. He is very courteous. Let's
say he was getting ready to walk into a restaurant.
He would hold the door for everyone else. He saved
my life when I was a baby. I always used to think
he was very smart. I respect him very much. That's
why he is my hero. Samantha P. Susan
B. Anthony is my hero. She was a brave-hearted
person. In 1872, she broke the law by voting and
demanded to go to jail just like any other man. She
paid a $100 fine. From 1881 to 1886 Susan and
Stanton Elisabeth coedited three volumes of a book
called History of Woman Suffrage. She also
published a fourth volume of the book in 1902.
Susan B. Anthony died in 1906, 14 years before the
Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
became law and gave women the right to vote. Minted
for circulation were $1.00 coins bearing Anthony's
picture. Susan was the first woman to be pictured
on a United States coin in general circulation.
That's why Susan B. Anthony is my hero. Deneen W. There
are lots of heroes! Who's yours? My hero is my
mother. My mother is a hero because she puts a roof
over my head, buys me clothes, feeds me, and a lot
more other things. She is strong and caring. I
admire her because she loves my family and me. I
can be like my mother by growing up, having
children, and doing what she is doing. I was heroic
by helping a senior citizen cross a very busy
street that didn't have crossing lights or buttons
to push to tell you when to cross. I had to look
both ways and cross the street carefully so that
the senior citizen felt safe. It was fun to help
someone! Remember, my hero is my strong and caring
mother who takes care of me! Sydne M.
Out of all the heroes, my mum is my hero. I chose
my mum as my hero because she encourages me when I
feel that I can't do something. She encouraged me
to swim without floaties. She helped me not to be
afraid of the dark. She always tells us "Try, try,
and you will get success." She always wants us to
be fast in our work. She helps me with whatever I
have difficulties with. I believe all mothers are
heroes, as they contribute a lot in making a
child's good future. These are the two reasons
(they show the child what is right and what is
wrong and they give the family rules) why I chose
my mother as my hero. Kaushal D.
My heroes are my parents. They take care of me
and they feed me. They also make sure that I have
clothes to wear and treat me nicely when I do
something nice for them or someone else. Zachary M. My
hero is Martin Luther King, Jr. In 1929, Martin
Luther King was born. He was raised in Atlanta,
Georgia. In 1954, Martin Luther King, Jr. became a
pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in
Montgomery, Alabama. When Rosa Parks was arrested,
Martin Luther King, Jr. marked his lifelong
commitment to the civil rights movement. Martin
Luther King, Jr. went to Morehouse College when he
was only fifteen years old. After his graduation,
he moved to Chester, Pennsylvania for a masters
degree. On December 10th, Dr. King was awarded with
the Nobel Peace Prize. On the evening of April 4th,
1965, he went out on his balcony at his motel and
was shot dead by James Earl Ray. After his death,
riots broke out. He had a dream that his four
children would one day live in a nation that would
not judge them by the color of their skin but by
the content of their character. This is why Martin
Luther King, Jr. is my hero. There
are over one million heroes! My heroes are all the
firefighters from September 11th. I like them
because they gave their lives for other people and
they never gave up. They knew they were doing a
good thing for themselves and for a lot of other
people, too. They are not selfish and they always
try to do what is right. They always do their job
and they always try to be a good sport about
everything. I want to be just like them when I get
older and grow up. These are the reasons I like the
firefighters from September 11th, 2001. My
heroes are my parents. They are my heroes because
they give me love. For example, I get five dollars
a week for allowance. My point is most children
don't get allowance. My parents show me that they
care for me by giving me what I need, like clothes,
food, and a house to live in. I'm lucky that they
don't treat me the way that Cinderella's stepmother
did! That's why my mom and dad are my
heroes. There
are many heroes in the world, but my favorite hero
is Martin Luther King, Jr. He stood up for equal
rights. He wanted colored people to have the same
rights as white people. Dr. King won the Nobel
Prize for working for civil rights. There
are lots of heroes. My hero is my mother. She is my
hero because since I was born she took care of me.
She feeds me, gave me baths, and buys me clothes
and shoes. Also, any time I cried she would put on
plays, she would dance with me, and I would laugh.
She also read stories to me at night. Any time I
cried at night she would wake up and take care of
me. Sometimes when I cried, she carried me. She is
also a hero now because she helps me with my
homework and wakes me up for school. She also buys
me supplies. That's why my mom is a hero. There
are many heroes in the world. My favorite hero is
The Undertaker. He is a wrestler. I respect him as
a wrestler because when I grow up, I want to become
a wrestler. He is my hero because he is a good
wrestler, and in wrestling he stands for America.
Also, he is a good guy and fights the bad, but he
was really sad when the towers collapsed on
September 11th. All the wrestlers were out there to
say the Pledge of Allegiance, even the bad people!
That's why The Undertaker is my hero. There
are many heroes out there. My heroes are the
firefighters because they saved lives on September
11th, 2001 with the Twin Towers and the Pentagon
attack. They put out a lot of deadly fires. They
have to be strong because their suits are almost
seventy pounds. The firefighters are brave. After
September 11th, 2001, we lost a lot of firefighters
from the burying and some quit their jobs. Some
lost their wife, kids, or both. Firefighters were
not prepared for the big attack on September 11th,
2001. There
are many kinds of heroes in the world. My favorite
heroes are the firemen. They are my favorite heroes
because they put others before themselves and save
lives from fires even if they know they'll die. The
firemen are brave. They're brave because they risk
their lives to put out a fire. Out
of all of the heroes in the world, my mom is my
hero. My mom is my hero because one day my little
brother Mathew was in a little boat in the pool and
almost fell out. He started to rock back and forth.
My mom saw him so she caught him. I know that if I
were rocking back and forth, she would have caught
me, too. Also, if I tried to jump off a bridge or
jump out of a ship, she would try to save me. Even
if I tried to do something crazy, she would stop me
from doing it. That is why my mom is my hero in the
world. There
are many heroes in the world. My hero is my
grandmother. She is my hero because she encouraged
me to like school. Two words that describe my
grandmother are loving and caring. She is loving
because she buys me stuff, like this Barbie house
she got for me that was a hundred dollars. My
grandmother is caring because she cares for me. One
thing my grandmother does that I admire is that she
treats my sister and me the same, gets us
everything we want, and never yells at us. I admire
these things because when I become a grandmother I
would have to yell at my grandkids. One way I can
be more like my hero is to help with more stuff
around the house. My grandmother helps with a lot
of stuff around the house. My hero is very strong,
thoughtful, and would risk her life to save the
life of one of her grandkids. That's why she is my
hero. Kaitlyn F. My
hero is my mom. She is nice and very helpful. My
mother helps me with my homework every night. She
also helps me with my cheerleading steps. One thing
I admire about my mom is she takes good care of me.
She buys me new things for school. She also does my
hair every morning for school. My mom painted my
room pink, yellow, and purple with Tweety Bird
designs on the wall. Sometimes she lets me pick fun
places for me to go on my birthday. These are the
reasons my mom is my hero. Tyese M-C. There
are many heroes in the world, but mine is my mom.
She is my hero because she puts a roof over my
head, buys me things, gives me food, and makes sure
I have a babysitter when she goes out. She does a
lot of things for me. Two words that describe this
person are caring and nice because if she weren't,
I wouldn't have the things from above and more. One
thing that this person does that I admire is that
she takes me to daycare every morning so she can go
to work. One thing I can do is make my mom go to
bed early because she makes me to go bed early.
This is why my mom is my hero. Miriam R. My
hero is my dad. My dad is my hero because he stands
up for his country. Also, my dad is a hero because
he fought in the Persian Gulf War. My dad and a lot
of other people fought over the land. My dad is
kind, helpful, and strong. I admire that he stands
up for his country and is never afraid. Also, my
dad is not selfish. He thinks about other people as
well as himself. My dad is brave, too. Whenever he
is in danger, he doesn't worry a bit. An example
that he is brave is when he pulled a tick off of my
thigh with his bare fingers. No matter what, my dad
will always be my hero. RuAnne W. There
are many heroes and heroines in the world, but my
favorite heroine is Harriet Tubman, the Freedom
Fighter. Two words to describe my heroine are brave
and fearless. She is brave because at the age of
fifteen she decided it was time to leave her
master. She used the Underground Railroad. She hid
in people's houses who didn't believe in slavery.
At night, they walked for miles until they got to
the next "station". Their journey north was
dangerous and long. One way I could be like her is
by helping people. If someone drops a book, I could
pick it up. Sara T. There
are many heroes and heroines in the world, and my
heroine is my mom. She has lots of jobs to do, and
she never complains. My mom is very caring, loving,
and non-selfish. If I am sick and my dad is at work
or something, she is always there for me. My mom
has three jobs and they are bookkeeping, taking
care of me, and taking care of my sister. My mother
is the one that taught me that life isn 't always
about fun or about me. About two months ago, my
mother had surgery, but when she was about to go
into the surgery room, the only thing that she
could think about was my sister and I. Melissa W. My
hero is Ruby Nell. When Ruby was six years old, the
President of the United States allowed Ruby to go
to an all-white school because she was beyond her
school's requirements. In other words, she was too
smart for her school, so she went to the white
school. On her first day, crowds of people were
yelling horrible things. Policemen escorted her
wherever she went. Troops had to hold back the
crowds. She is my hero because not once did she
think the worst of herself. She kept her head up
high and didn't quit. Marlowe R. My
hero is a man named Mr. Roy. He is my hero because
he saved my life when I was five. My big cousin and
I were riding big mountain bikes. We were going
down a hill, and he cut through an alley. So then I
tried to slow down, but I couldn't press my brakes
down and the alley was too narrow to go through
without hitting the brakes. I kept going. What I
didn't realize was that a big street was in front
of me. Then, I tried to stop again, but I was too
weak to press down the brakes. Then when I was at
the last alley across the street, Mr. Roy came
running out of the alley and pushed the bike and me
down in the grass and saved me. I really wasn't
hurt except I had a cut on my chin. After about a
minute, my big cousin came and took me home. I
chose that person because he saved my life, and if
he wasn't there, I could have died or been
seriously hurt. Ryan C. My
heroes are the firemen from September 11th. They
are my heroes because they helped people get out of
the buildings by going up the steps and helping
them. After the buildings completely collapsed, the
firemen were still trying to find people. They
stayed up all night trying to find them. The next
day, they found five people trapped in a car. They
looked for days trying to find survivors. They
found many bodies under the rubble. Dustin L. My
hero is Michelle Kwan. Michelle Kwan is my hero
because she is my favorite ice skater. Michelle
Kwan won the bronze medal last year. I was pretty
upset when she didn't get the gold medal. Michelle
Kwan was fourteen years old when she started
competing. Michelle is my hero because she did what
I always wanted to do- to go to the Olympics. My
dad says that I'm so good at ice skating that I
could go to the Olympics, if I really wanted to.
I've been ice skating for about a year or so. This
is why she is my hero. Corrine G. My
heroes are the firefighters from 9/11. They are my
heroes because they worked more than a day to find
people who were still alive. They are brave,
caring, and helpful. They are brave because they
searched through all of the pieces of the Twin
Towers. They are caring because once they found
people, they cared for them and helped them. They
are helpful because they helped put out fires and
save people. I think that if there were no
firefighters, the world would be one big fire and
be destroyed. We have firefighters, so we are very
lucky. These are the reasons why the firefighters
of 9/11 are my heroes. Elise T. My
heroes are the firemen who try to save others. They
are always thoughtful of others. I give much
respect to the firemen. Many people are given a new
chance of life because of the firemen. Since
September 11th, people have seen that firemen
should not be taken lightly because they are brave
and are always at any time willing to give their
life away to preserve yours. I have learned many
things about courage because of September 11th and
the firemen. Aaron H. My
heroes are the firefighters from September 11th.
They are my heroes because they were trying to help
others and put out a fire at the same time. The
words that I think best describe my heroes are
brave and very helpful. Things they do that I
admire are risking their lives for other people,
doing good things for other people, and not
expecting rewards for what they are doing. Shelby H. There
are many heroes in the world. My heroes are all the
firefighters. To me, they are put together as one
because they all do the same thing like saving
people's lives. They make a difference in the world
because, without them, there wouldn't be as many
people alive as there are today. Firefighters are
very special people. The firefighters helped many
people on September 11th. They are brave. They
wouldn't go into a burning building if they weren't
brave. They have a lot of faith. That's because if
they believe they can save someone's life, they
have faith in themselves. Erica J. There
are many heroes in the world. My favorites are the
firefighters from the 9/11 tragedy at the World
Trade Center. They are my heroes because they are
really brave. They are brave because they risked
their own lives for people that they didn't know
because of this terrible tragedy. I think that if
there were no firefighters, the world would have
been burned up and destroyed, but luckily, we have
firefighters. I am really proud of my heroes,
because if it weren't for my heroes, there would be
no world to live in. Danielle R. There
are a lot of heroes in the world. My hero is George
Washington, America's first president. When George
Washington grew up, he joined Virginia's army. He
led many attacks against the French and Indians.
George was a good leader. Soon he became the leader
of Virginia's army. Back then, life in America
wasn't so easy. People had to pay high taxes.
George thought that was unfair and so did other
people. The colonists went to war against Great
Britain. This war was called the Revolutionary War.
Finally, after eight long years, the war ended and
the colonies were free! America was free! After the
Revolutionary War, Washington still had important
jobs to do. He helped create the Constitution.
People set down rules for the new government to
follow. Then, he was chosen to be the first
president of the United States. He was president
for eight years. Across the river from Mount Vernon
is where Washington stayed and died. Washington
D.C. was named after George Washington's honor.
This is why he is my hero! Dylan S. My
mom is my hero because she helps me when I am sad.
She also takes care of me when I am mad, lonely, or
sick. She is always there when I need her. She
tries to help everybody she can. She solves all my
problems. I like her as my hero because she is a
hard-working person. She will always be my hero no
matter what she does or where she goes. Courtney W. I
have a lot of heroes, but my favorite hero is
Jessica, my aunt. Sometimes she's mean to me, but
she is still my favorite hero because she saved me
a million times. One day, I was playing basketball
outside and I tripped over something and fell. My
hand went into something sharp, and I lost a lot of
blood. Jessica took me inside and washed my hands.
Another time was when I was about five years old.
My mother would be frustrated and agitated, but
Jessica would drag me to her room and say, "Come
on, De'Quan," and make me feel better. De'Quan G. |
