Everyone in the world has someone they look up to and want to be just like them one day. Everyone has different opinions about who a true hero is. My personal hero is my dad, David Laetzsch. My dad is my favorite person in the world because he is always there when I need him the most and I don’t know where I would be today without him. He has helped get me to the great life I have now and I am forever thankful for all he does for me. Nobody could ever compare to my father. He is the most caring, loving and genuine person I know even if he doesn’t show it sometimes, and that is why he is my hero.

Anyone who influences anyone else by saving or helping save his or her lives can be a hero. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. changed the lives of millions of people by bringing justice to minorities.

All teachers are heroes when they make it their job to teach a child anything that will help them in life. You don’t have to go to great lengths by risking your life to make a difference in someone else’s life.

The person who I consider to be a hero is my mom, FBI Special Agent Jill Stillman. She is more than a typical mom because she protects and serves our country everyday, but first makes sure to be up at 6:00am to wake me and my brother up so we can dress, eat breakfast and get to the bus stop. She always puts us first before herself along with my two dogs and cat and then she gets ready for work. I consider her a hero because after the 9/11 attacks, she helped capture and eliminate Osama Bin Laden. She has investigated criminal and counterterrorism cases and early in her career, she found evidence against the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing subject Tim McVey to send him to prison. She has been a Special Agent for 25 years and volunteered to go

Ruben Salazar is a Mexican-American journalist who was a mainstream reporter to primary hronicler and supporter of the Chicano movement of the late 1960s. With his first break with the LA Times, when the staff was predominately white and male, he did not seek to correct the society's wrongdoings towards the Mexican Americas.

His identity affected his journalism in a way that put him kind of stuck in the middle of everything. Like when he was asked to come back to LA from the Dominican Republic and Vietnam to write about the Mexican American high

Another example of a perfect heroes is our parents. While it may not be their choice that they have a child in their family most of the time they will care for their kid unconditionally. Most of the time they do not expect anything in return except for love. They devote a majority of their life to taking care of them and for these reasons they are heros.
