       A hero to me is someone who gives advice. A hero is someone who picks you up when you fall down. A hero helps you when you're in danger. A hero is someone who supports you. A hero is very special to me.
        A hero to me is a firefighter. I like firefighters because they do good deeds. If your house is on fire, the firefighter will help you. If you're stuck in a car and the door can't open, call the fire department and they will help you with the Jaws of Life. Firefighters are also special because in the 9-11 attacks, firefighters all over the city came to rescue people from tower 1 and tower 2. When they went inside the towers they didn't think about saving their lives. They thought about saving people in the towers. Firefighters lose lives and save lives.

       The word hero means many things to me. One thing hero means is someone that you can go to for advice if you have any problems. For example, if you had a problem at school or any other situation. Next, a hero also means someone that you can look up to. Another thing I think a hero means is someone who you can trust and they won't tell your secrets. Lastly, a hero means someone who can have your back if something ever happens to you.
       My hero is my mother, Marlene John because even though she works hard she still takes out some of her time to do family events with everyone My mother is also my hero because if she goes to work and comes back tired she still checks my homework without falling asleep. Another reason why my mother is my hero is that she always has faith in me and never gives up on me. This is why my mother is my hero.

       To me a hero is someone who you can talk to and share your feelings with. I also think a hero can be any age. For example, a little brother can be a hero because he can be a person you can talk to and express your feelings with. This is what a hero is to me.
        My hero is my grandma because whenever I am having a certain problem, she is there to make me feel better. There was one time I told her that people would call me names because of a certain lunchbox. She told me as long as I know that I am doing the right thing, they can say whatever they want. My grandma also helps me with my homework and makes my second favorite meal which is a Caribbean food called Pelau. These are some reasons why my grandma is my hero.

They help people when they are in hot building. They help then because they don't want them to die. Everybody can be a hero because most people are good people inside. Everybody is a hero.

       I think the word hero has many definitions to me. One thing it means to me is to risk your life for somebody else. For instance, when 9/11 happened many firefighters and regular people risked their lives for people in the Twin Towers. Also, a hero is someone who helps somebody else. For example, if a young man were to help an elderly person to across the street he would be her hero. If a man would fix your X- Box 360 he would your hero, right? Another thing is I think a hero is someone who you could trust. That's what I think a hero is.
        My hero is mom because she inspirers me to achieve my dreams. For example, one time when I wanted to be an actress my mom put me in an after-school drama class. Another reason my mom is my hero is because she always helps me with my homework and book presentations when I need help, even if she has to stay up until 12:00 A.M. at night. My mom makes me feel special and above the world. She goes all out just to make me feel satisfied. That's why my mom is my hero.

       A hero is someone you look up to and admire. The person doesn't have to be famous. They can be your parents or any of your family members. A hero is a person who helps people when they are in danger or when they just need help. A hero is a special person in your life.
        My hero is my mother. I admire what she does. She makes me laugh when I'm down. She means a lot to me. She is the best mother I could ever have. When I grow up I want to be just like her. I admire my mother.

       Taylor Crooks 5-316

       My definition of hero is someone that's always by your side, even if they're not expected. Someone who cares about you and would do anything for you. A special "someone" in your life. A person you can relate to and talk to about anything in this world, even your darkest deepest secrets. A human being you can fool around and act immature with. A person who is a big part of your life.
        My hero is my mom. She basically does everything for me. She cooks for me, she buys my clothes, and just like I said, she's a big part of my life. I don't know what I'd do without her. My sister and my father are also my heroes. I'm also proud of them because I know if they were to see this writing they wouldn't be offended by the fact that I said my mom is my hero. They know that they are my heroes also and that I love them. I love my mother dearly and my family. This is why I will change my mind and say that my whole family is my hero.

       A hero is a person who is remembered for doing something very generous or something great. Also, a hero is someone who did something that might have changed the world. For example, Martin Luther King changed the world of segregation.

       A hero is someone you look up to. He or she could be a fictional character. Or he or she can be a real person. They could be your parents, a friend or a teacher. You can have an imaginary friend and have it be your hero. That is what a hero is.
        My hero is my fourth grade teacher Mrs. Mlak. She has always helped me when I needed it. Also, she has kept all of my secrets to herself. If I had a problem I could always go and talk to her. She is one of my favorite teachers. I don't want to leave P.S.279 because there is a 50% of a chance that I won't to see her again.
