  3. The hero I'm choosing to write about is Jesus Christ. He died on the cross for my sins and by doing that, I can forever live in Heaven with him and the Father God.

  4. Okay, so we can do the same person. My hero is also Andrew McMahon, since someone else has already introduced him, I guess I don't have to.

  5. My hero is Taylor Swift. I admire her because she knew what she wanted to do with her life by the time she was fourteen. She worked hard to get where she is today. She started off by going to nashville during her Spring Break to drop off a demo CD to the major record labels. I look up to her because she has remained a genuinely kind and loving person, despite all of her fame, success, and fortune. She meets as many fans as possible after her shows. You can tell that she truly loves what she does and she doesn't take anything for granted. She is my inspiration because of her kindness and love for others, the way she carries herself with class and elegance, and her strong work ethic. I believe that she is a good example for people of all ages.

  6. My hero is my grandfather. I see him as my hero because he has been dedicated to one fire department for over 5 years and has still volunteered there after a few heart problems.
    He has been strong through the years and he has kept our family close by contributing to each and every one of his grandchildren.

  7. Jesus Christ is my hero because he gave his life to save the world from its sins. He taught people how to live righteous lives holy and pleasing to God and how we can have a relationship with him. I've believed in him my whole life, and I try every day to live up to his example.

  13. I have a step grandma and she is currently going through kidney failiure. That within itself is enough to be qualified as a hero, but aside from the basics, everytime I see her, she always has a smile on her face. She is almost hospitalized every week, yet she still makes it to family events and she always has something nice to say to everyone. I haven't known her for that long, just a handfull of years, yet she has touched my life in ways I will carry with me forever. She is my hero.

  14. My hero has to be my older sister. No matter how bad things got, she always had a smile on her face. She taught me to trust in God even when you're about to give up. She's easily the most courageous person I know.

  15. My hero is my grandfather, Anthony Cannon. When he was 16 he lied about his age to join the army and fight in WWII and afterwards he transferred to the Air Force. He is my hero because he has inspired me to join the Air Force and help protect the citizens of this country.

  18. My Hero is Molly Brown. She was a survivor of the Titanic and was known as the "Unsinkable Molly Brown". She used her knowledge of foreign languages to console surviving immagrants of the tragic accident who knew little English. She also helped raise money for them so they could start their lives in America. Molly Brown also played a big role in the Women's Suffrage Movement and also helped raised money for children's causes in mining camps. When I learned about Molly Brown, I was overwhelmed with the heart that she had. She had touched many lives and made a difference by doing things to help others.

  20. My hero is my mom. She has done so much for my sisters and I, and she really cares about and loves me (and my sisters) so much. She homeschooled us, takes care of us, and she is very encouraging.

  21. My hero is Demi Lovato. As an actress and a singer/songwriter, she has a lot of pressure on her shoulders. And she's only 18 years old, to date. So when she left the tour she was in with the Jonas Brothers last year in order to go back home and get some emotional help, it really struck me. For someone that is famous, and adored by so many people, to tell themself that they need to take a break and to take care of themself for a while before going back to work is a big thing. She put herself in rehab and that even takes guts for a normal everyday teenager, let alone one in the spotlight. And now that she's out of rehab, and back to working, she's helped so many of her fans with her example to stay strong and to get the help that you need.

  22. I would like to introduce you to my hero. Her name is Heidi Baker. She has taken on the nation of Mozambique and has devoted herself to reaching the poorest and least wanted in that country and many others around the world. She has cared for and or taken in thousands of orphan children and done so with the deepest joy and love. Heidi has influenced me because I, too, am a missionary. Missionaries often faced extreme adversity be it from people or the general conditions and struggles in the nations they serve. I know that she has faced very tough challenges in her decades of missionary service, but she is still choosing to press on. It is because of her choice to continue despite difficulty that thousands of children have a home and even more have been touched by a life that is overflowing with genuine love and compassion. As I live my life as a missionary, I desire to carry with me the same love, joy, and passion that Heidi has for the people of Mozambique and for each person she comes in contact with. She has raised the bar in my expectations of myself, not just when I am doing “missionary work” in an organized setting, but in my everyday life.

  23. My hero is Harriet Tubman. I picked her as my hero because she was brave enough to escape slavery and was even more brave by going back to help other escape, putting her own life on the line in the process. This is why I picked Harriet Tubman as my hero, because she dedicated her life to saving the lives of others and has inspired me to try and do the same in my own. Such as helping out at the local animal shelter or the local soup kitchen, so I can reach out and change the lives of others.

  24. According to Webster’s Dictionary a hero is a man and/or woman admired for his/her achievements and noble qualities. The first person that comes to mind when I hear this is Jesus Christ. I’m sure many of you have heard of him, he’s whose birthday we celebrate on Christmas. Here are some of his heroic characteristics: Serving others, Spreading good news, healing people, and eventually sacrificing his very life for those he loved.

  26. My hero is my twin sister, Jocelynn, who has Rett Syndrome. It is hard for her to do everyday things sometimes, but she works through it with a smile on her face. Her optimistic attitude about life inspires those around her to help others, and not take for granteed little things.

  28. My hero is Jesus Christ. He is the only son of God and He came down from Heaven to die for everyones sins. He came down from Heaven knowing He would die, He grew up, knowing He would die. And He didn't want to but He did anyway. For me, and you, and everyone. He sacrificed himself for all of humanity.

  30. My hero is a good friend of mine Kaitlyn Nicole Jones. She was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. In type1 diabetes your body doesn’t produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone that needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed in daily life. Kaitlyn passed away at the age of 18 on March 16, 2011 unexpectedly from complications with diabetes.

  31. My hero is a very dear person to me named John-Michael Lander. He was my sophmore english teacher and a mentor to me through life. I was going through a very rough time in my life and Mr. Lander was always a gentle hearted person that would go out of his way to make sure that I was safe and had some one to talk to. John-Michael saved my life.

  33. My hero is Rachel Carson. She is the lady that wrote many environment based books like Silent Spring, The Sea Around Us and Under the Sea-Wind to name a few. She also helped ban dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), which is a chemical that used to be used on crops, but caused harm in the humans, nature and the wildlife that was around it. The government discussed the issue about DDT and formed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), so I guess you can say that she inspired the start of the EPA too.

  36. My hero is my great-grandmother. I never knew her personally because she died in 1984. However I was born on her birthday November 1st, 1993. Everyone in my family tells me that I remind them of her in some way or another. I kind of like to think I’m a reincarnation of her, but perhaps that’s just wishful thinking. Anyway, my great-grandmother was a wonderful person because she brought my entire family together. Not just sons and daughters but extended family and friends, everyone loved her. For example, after my grandmother and grandfather divorced my great-grandmother still kept up relations with her ex-son-in-law. She was just so welcoming and kind to all sorts of people. She had a way of bringing our family together despite our sometimes strained relations between one another. No other family member has since been such a central figure. During much of her life she worked in California at a girl’s boarding school, she was the house mother. My family has a letter from one of the girl’s who attended the school to my great-grandmother thanking her for everything she had done. I guess my point is she is my hero because she was a consistent figure in the lives of many always giving to those around her.

  40. I haven't yet decided on ONE hero but it's either gonna be Ezio Auditore.... or my Mom <3

    Ezio Auditore, because he is soooooooooooo hott and even tho he is just a game character... he's inspired me to climb things, which is good for my health lol... and never let things go unjustified, like the execution of his father and brothers.

    OR

    My Mom, because she had a really tough life as a child and growing up. Whenever i think ican't go any longer in this life, she'd inspire me to do otherwise, whenever i'd just THINK about what she went thru.

He was the wisest person ive met in my entire life, and he was so kind hearted. He gave the BEST advice! I just love him!

  46. My hero is Oskar Schindler.
    He is my hero because of how he risked his own life to save around 1200 Jews from death at the concentration camps. You could say he beat the system, at first he wanted them for work but after awhile he used his factory as a way to get Jews out of camps and into safety. I dont know if i could go against my friends, family, or country like he did.

  61. I am changing my hero to Batman. My hero is Batman which is more of the Batman universe. I loved the Batman universe at a young age, which was when I think I first saw my first Batman series, Batman: The Animated Series. Then I got to Batman Beyond then to the rest of the series but not The Batman I missed that one but I bought it a few year later when it aired.

    When it aired on Cartoon Network I think I watched all of them. When I saw around the time of The Dark Knight movie I got back into it. When I was looking for a job to do when I am done with high school and go to college. When I heard the word psychology in the universe at some point it sounded like an interesting job to have.
