A Hero By Paul

       A hero is someone kind enough to help you. A hero is proud of what they've done. You don't have to have super power to be a hero.
My hero is my dad because he helps me with my homework, cheers me up when I am sad, and is always there for me. I can always look up to him. He is my best friend.
If there was one thing in the world that would make him proud of me, I think it would be if I stopped arguments without anyone getting hurt. If I could just stop people from fighting, I think he would proud of what I've done.

      Heroes By Ali

       In my mind heroes are respectful, strong, friendly, and helpful. They don't just save people from burning buildings, they help too. Like my dad, he helps my brother and me on our homework and he drives us places like soccer practice and music lessons. He also works a job.
One thing I can do to make him proud is to help a friend. I could do that by inviting them over to the library to study. We could even take my brother along. That would help both my friend and me with school. That would make my dad very proud. Who is your hero?

 A Hero By Gigi

A hero is a role model, a person you look up to. One of my heroes is Lemony Snicket. He is one of my heroes because he wrote every single detail of the Baudelaire's history in thirteen books, from the bad beginning to the end. He also is a writer like me. I think I could be more like him by keeping a commonplace book. A commonplace book is a notebook with information on things that happen. Also I could maybe write a series of my own. If you are a person who likes tragic stories and are a picky reader, then check out or buy one of his books.

My Hero By Brianna

A hero to me is a person who helps or changes peoples lives like Rosa Parks who stood for her rights. My hero is my dad because he was in the Army. I admire my dad because he risked his life for me.
I can make my hero proud of me by helping my little sister and teaching her self-defense, making her happy, standing up for her and I will risk my life for her and making sure my hero is happy.

  My Hero By Elise

       A hero is someone who is nice to you,
A hero is someone who will help you when you need it.
A hero does not need to have super powers to be a hero, because my hero is my dad.
My dad is my hero because he's always there for me and when I am sad he cheers me up. Plus when I am at a game, whether it's baseball or soccer, he's always cheering me on. But the best part is when I get assigned a report he's right there to help me with what ever it is I need.
A way I could make him proud of me is if I scored a goal in soccer or I get a good report card. I'm not sure but I think he's proud of me anyway.

My Hero Who is Small By Ellen

       My hero is my sister because whenever I am just in a little danger she always helps me. I also think she is my hero because she cheers me up when I am sad and even though she is only four she tries to help me with my homework. I think it is very nice of her to help me. There are many more reasons why she is my hero but this is how I could make her proud of me.
I think I could make her proud of me by trying to be her hero by no teasing. I also think I could be her hero by playing with her when she is bored, especially if we are on a plane.
She might find something to do like play on her Leapster or look at all of the landmarks but she would prefer to play with me. We could play I Spy! She and I love that game. In the car she always says let's play I Spy and that is how I could make her proud of me!

My Hero By Emily

       A hero doesn't have to be big or strong. A hero can be your younger brother or sister. A hero is someone who helps you when you're hurt or lonely. A hero can also be your older brother or sister because they can be your role models.
My heroes are fire fighters because they risk their lives to save lives. When fire fighters go into a fire they are not worrying about themselves, they are worrying about saving you.
I could make my hero proud by not smoking when I get older, so that there is less chance of a fire to happen. That is what a hero is and who my hero is.

 My Hero By Karen

       I think a hero would be brave, kind, respectful, and truthful to people. Heroes can do a lot of nice things for other people. Heroes use their time to help people when they need it. For example my grandma is my hero. She does a lot of things for me and with me. If my parents are going out to diner with some friends and aren't coming home until really late sometimes I go over to my grandma's house and we do a lot of fun things together. Once she even taught me how to knit. It was hard at first but she kept helping me and I got it! Sometimes she takes me swimming after school we have a lot of fun! After, we go to diner at one of my favorite place Rocky Rococo's!
To make her proud of me I will be nice like her to my grandchildren. I'll help them if they're with me when they need help, and I'll teach them to do fun things! I'll take them to get ice cream just like she does with me. I will be super nice to all the people I know. Also to make her proud of me I will just be myself and respect others. That is why my grandma is my hero!

Heroes By Kathryn

       A hero is someone who either risks their life for the love of others or has the courage to do something brave, like Amelia Earhart. She flew a plane all the way across the Atlantic Ocean. Not many people know about her. They just like Lucky Lindbergh because he is a man and can do whatever he wants.
I can make Amelia proud by not giving up on something I really want to do. For instance if I wanted to donate things to my church St. Monica's that's what I would do. If I wanted to fly a plane across the Pacific Ocean, that's what I would do. I would prepare by studying airplanes, learn how they worked and in a few years I would be in airplane having the ride of my life! Amelia would be so proud of me.

Hero By Hannah

       To me a hero is proud yet friendly. A hero is also helpful. An example of a hero is Rosa Parks. My hero is my mom because she always helps me do my homework if I need help with it. She also helps me spell words if I don't know how to spell them. Another reason I choose my mom to be my hero is because she always there when I need her. If I need something or someone I know I can always depend on my mom.
To make my hero proud of me I could help my sister learn how to read. I could do that by sitting next to her and I could help her if she doesn't get a word, or if she doesn't know what a word means. Another thing I could do to make my hero proud of me is I could train my dog more. To do that I could work with her every day for 15 min. and then I could take her for a walk. That's what I could do to make my hero proud of me.

Heroes By Isaiah

       What is a hero? A hero is someone who always pursues his or her dreams. Martin Luther King Jr. is my hero because he didn't stop pursuing his dream of stopping segregation.
I could make Martin Luther King Jr. proud by always talking out my problems or fights. I would make that happen by talking my way out of the problems or fights I got into instead of being mean and calling people names they don't like. Another way is not to let other people push around or take advantage of other people.

My Hero By Jack

       My hero would be someone that is kind, brave, and helpful like Martin Luther King Jr. or Rosa parks, but my hero is my Dad. The reason I chose my dad as my hero is because he has always been there for me especially when I learned how to ride a bike. The reason I chose my dad as my hero is because he is kind, brave and helpful. I admire my dad because he has almost been to every country in the world and he is always a great dad. I think a way I could make my hero proud is to have the best grades I can and do the best I can.
I think I am a hero to a boy down the street from me. The reason I am a hero to that boy is because I help him a lot and right now he is learning how to ride a bike and I help him balance. That is the reason I think I'm a hero.

My Hero By Joey

       A hero is someone who is kind to others. A hero is brave; heroes need to be brave so they can stand up to others, and for others. Heroes are very smart people, heroes need to be smart because if the weren't they would do stupid things like jump off a building. That's why my hero is Rosa Parks.
My hero is Rosa Parks because she showed me the courage to stand up to others. She also gave me the courage to stand up for my friends, just like she stood up for all blacks right. Rosa Parks gave blacks the courage to do what they want to do. She probably gave Martin Luther King Jr. courage too.
I'm trying to make my hero proud by standing up for others and showing that I have courage.

Hero By Maggie

       Have you ever thought to yourself "what is a hero?" If you ask me I think a hero is someone who is thoughtful, encouraging, helping, fair, smart, and gives great advice. Also they are brave to stick up to others. My hero is someone who has helped me through everything. She is my sister Emily. She is always there for me when I need help with homework, gives me advice with friends, and helps me practice basketball, tennis, and soccer. She is all the things a hero is and more. Emily will encourage everything I chose to do with my life.
To make my hero proud of me, I will do things just like her because she is my role model. But I'm not exactly like her because I also want to be myself. I will help my little brothers with their homework when they're stuck. I will be thoughtful and encouraging to them so they follow their dreams. I will give them advice with friends. I will stick up for them when they are having a tough time in school or with friends. I will also help them not make bad choices but most of all encourage them to follow their dreams and feel happy about themselves and their life.

My Hero By Matt

I think a hero can be anybody really. It can be somebody that saved you or it can be a sibling or your parents. My hero is my brother because he likes to do cool stuff with me and he helps me with my homework sometimes. He can be very trustful to me and watches me sometimes. He's the best brother of all. He knows I look up to him so he tries to be good in front of me. This is why my brother is my hero. He'll always be there for me and we love another because we're family and family is supposed to love each other.

A Hero By Mike

       A hero is brave, kind and nice. Rosa Parks was a hero because of the boycott of the bus, so everyone had to walk every day. Rosa Parks said no to a white man on the bus because she was too tired. So Rosa Parks got arrested by the police.
I admire Rosa Parks because if I were to go anywhere on a bus when Rosa Parks was alive I would have to sit in the back of the bus. Any bus I went on I would have to sit in the back of any bus. I like learning about Rosa Parks because she is cool.

My Favorite Hero By Nick

       To me, a hero is someone who always sticks up for you. They will risk anything to help you when you're in trouble. When you are sad, they will try to cheer you up. If you are having problems with something, they will try to help you out. Heroes will always stay by your side, always ready to help. That is what I think a hero is.
My hero is my mother. She is my hero because she goes lots of places just for me, even if she doesn't want to go to those places. She always comes to the programs I'm in. When I'm sad, she always tries to cheer me up. When we go to the store, she always lets me get lots of cool things. She always helps me when I'm stuck. That is why my mother is my hero.
I could make my hero proud by trying to comfort people who are sad and helping people out when they are stuck on something.

My Hero By Robby

       A hero is someone who is kind, a nice person, a generous person, a person who seems to be the nicest person on the planet. A hero is also someone who makes a difference in the world and can save someone's life either from danger or by putting someone else's life in danger.
My hero is my mom because she takes care of me and helps me with homework if I'm stuck or I need someone to check my homework with. My Mom also helps the city by answering phones at the Whitefish Bay Village Hall in the police department, because she is a dispatcher. When you dial 911 she answers the telephone and tells the police where to go to help people. If there were no dispatchers no one would answer the phone and the police couldn't come. That's why my mom is my hero. I could make my hero proud of me by helping people and taking care of my pets.

My Hero By Spencer

       A hero is someone that helps another person. A hero doesn't have to be famous, you or I could be a hero some day to someone else by giving our old stuff to a charity or donating money to a trust fund. My hero is my Dad because he helps me with my projects and with my homework.
I could make him proud by helping someone out with his or her homework, or helping someone out with a problem.
