Coach B: Who Is My Hero?

As we grow up throughout life, we hold onto many heroes as they have impacted our life. Looking into my personal life, my hero consists of my mother, Darla Linden. She defined a hero as “a person stepping up in a situation without thinking they also are in harm 's way”(Linden, Darla). Throughout my lifetime my mom has been there for me since day one and has helped nurtured me.. She sacrifices many things for myself and for my family by providing us with our daily needs. I can always count on her to point me in the right direction by pursuing my dreams and wishes. I admire her caring heart and faithfulness the most because she would drop anything instantly to help someone else in need. She supports me in all of my extra curricular activities and motivates myself to bring out my full potential. I get inspired by her courageous character by never backing down to a challenge and always finishing through. When I asked my mom who she picked as her hero she said, “the service men and women of all branches who fight for our country”(Linden, Darla). They provide us with safety by sacrificing

Courage and selflessness are words that describe heroes. Mundane people can be heroes when they have enough perseverance to do extraordinary tasks. They sacrifice their needs for others.

The most important trait all heroes must have is that their actions are for others, not for themselves, and they act selflessly. A hero recovers from their struggles determined to inspire others around them to be their best. Heroes can come in all different ages, races, genders, and personality types. There are many heroes around, even in everyday life. It could be a friend, a relative, even a coworker. In my case, it was my classmate Nick Kimble.

From a young age he was interested in Latin and would draw detailed pictures of famous Greek scenes, not unlike the renaissance artists. Naturally, he pursued Latin in his high school career, which is where I met

What do all hero’s have in common? They all have people that look up and aspire to be just like them. As a young boy, hero’s appear in countless forms from fireman to astronauts. Mine on the other hand was to become a professional baseball player. Growing up on the outskirts of New York City, I looked no further than to my favorite baseball team The New York Mets. Mike Piazza was my childhood hero, my idol that I strived to be like. A leader on the field, he set a strong example of professionalism and had a dedicated work ethic that first caught my attention. My father’s hero to my surprise was similar to my own, Tom Seaver, a Hall of Fame pitcher that played for The Mets.

I would not be where I am today if it weren’t for her guidance and support. Mrs. Hornik has also given me remarkable advice.
