Heroes



On Monday we celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Dr. King is a symbol of fighting non-violently for equal rights. Many people view Dr. King as a hero for his work. Heroes can be people who do extrodinary things such as Dr. King, they can also be people who are part of our lives and might not be famous.


Think about a person that has influenced your life.

What makes someone a hero?
Who is your hero? Why is he/she your hero?

What makes a hero is honesty, helpfulness, and the want for justice. My hero is my mom because she takes care of me and always does the right thing, she is honest, and kind.

What makes someone a hero is never giving up. To never stop going to fight for what is right. My hero is my mom. She is my hero because she never gives up on anyone or anything. Thats why she is my hero.

My mom is my hero because she has helped me through tough times in life. She is a hero by telling me how to get through tough times. She helps with bullies, Homework, piano, clarinet and so much more. I will love her forever and neither of us will forget that. My mom is my hero and I will always love her.

My hero are my teachers because they taught me and gave me an education. They taught me to play with other people, They taught me all the subjects and helped me throught the years with the stuff that I cant seem to learn. My teachers are my hero because they did what they could to teach me and my class mates.

Martin Luther King was the man that he probably wanted to be. He fought for little black children to have the same things that white kids had like a good education.

Something that makes a hero is some one how protects other peaple and help them thogh through tough times. My hero is my dad because he comforts me through MY tough times as well as every one else in my family. He takes us on fun trips and makes us all laugh in random places and times.

My hero is my mother. Without her I would not be here today. She helps me with my homework and she loves me unconditionally. That’s why she is my hero. !

A hero is someone that cares for people and will never give up. Teachers are my heroes.They teach me the things that I will need to be to successful in live. I would not know how to read and write if there were no teachers.

Heroes are made up of what they did, who they are, and what their personality is. My hero is my cousin Dustin. Dustin is my hero because he showed me to never give up on my dream. He told me to go where ever my life takes me, he followed where his life took him, and his life took him to New York City as a makeup artist, who is now on tour with a famous country singer. That is why my cousin Dustin is my hero.

I think that Doctor King and all the peaple who supported him did the right thing and if they did not do that thing we would not have alot of things we have today like we woulden't have our president and we woulden't have the car or any other tecnolagy we have today becuse black people helpd with all of tose things. What makes a hero isnt to have souper powers its to have good witts. My hero is my dad.

My hero is my dad. The reason my dad is my hero is because he helps me through my problems. For example, he helped me through All Stars in swimming. He loves me unconditionally and that is why he is my hero.

A hero shows you how to be brave, strong, fast, smart with friends, and make good decisions in real life. My Papa is my hero for all of these reasons above.
