“You know, heroes are ordinary people that have achieved extraordinary things in life.” - Dave Winfield
Her Strength
Grandma is a hero. Ma was born into a time which girls were only to follow she was married off at a young age. Being a follower has little to do with weakness and Ma’s best quality was her boldness. She was the second of four wives and had 12 kids. A few years after she was married she became a Christian. Being the second of four wives was not ideal so she made the decision to leave. At the time it was not the best idea but she did it despite the odds and raised 12 kids on her own but that’s not why she is a hero.
Ma did her best to leave each child with love and kindness and some grew up to be great and others strayed far away. Everyday Ma would work for many hours. When she came home she would prepare food for the family and make sure they were ready for the day. As time went on and

Through 17 years she cared for and raised Kofi, Edward and Desmond, and they grew up to be strong. Raising 3 kids more kids at her age was difficult but that did not stop her from pushing them towards the right path. As time continued and everyone got older ma started to get sick and in 2006 my mother and I went to see Ma. Out of 70 years that was the only break she would ever have. We stayed for a few years while mom helped grandma prepare food work and pay bills my grandma was teaching me how to be a better person. The whole family became happy and some time later we left.
A few years later Ma passed away. Grandma was not a hero because of a special skill or amazing feat. She was a person who always put someone above herself and showed kindness to every kind of person. There are not many people who come close to her character and there is not many like her left. Ma left a mark in everyone she had met and even though she spent a lifetime working hard she filled it with much
She is a hero that persevered and made a difference, a hero that was brave and willing to push the boundaries of the unknown, a hero that showed incredible strength, dedication, sacrifice, and leadership, a hero that I look up to and aspire to be like: My
“A hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.”-Christopher Reeve
One of the main reasons my mum Shawn Meyer is a hero is because she fought in Iraq. She got shipped out there away to Iraq when I was only five years old. She left for eighteen months because of the war, although she was in the navy she was on land and part of intelligence. The navy often used her as a spy because she used to be very tan. My mum only got three visits to come back to America for a week at a time. She was also able to survive a poisonous spider bite overseas.
Her parents were always hard workers,caring,dependable, would give teach you anything you would know. They are very respectful people. My mom’s words of wisdom is always be yourself and tell people how you feel,dream big,be grateful,give lots of love and laughters. Heather had a dream of having a big family of her own and also to be happy and to have a good carrier that she would enjoy. My mom left the house at the age of 18 she moved with her fiance in rudolph. She had a kid at the age of 21. She stayed home because of my big brother. When he was older she went back to what she was doing in the first place. My mom was working in a nursery
My Michigan hero is not just a hero but is my grandma, she was always there for me through my ups and downs. Every day after school are used to go to her house, she would have Mack and cheese waiting for me on a little SpongeBob plate in front of the TV with SpongeBob on the TV. She was like my other half whenever I needed her the most she was there. She used to go shopping with me and my mom all the time and take us out for lunch. I alway imagined her being there with me all my life but that all changed. Just a couple years ago she had passed away and that was the hardest day of my life. I remember not wanting to go to her funeral because I couldn't stand seeing all the memories and pictures of us together. When I first walked into the room I just
My grandmother was an amazing cook which allowed her to cook meals for profit. She also learned how to sew – making her own clothes and used this skill to profit as well. My grandmother tried her best and that was the important part. She provided wisdom, sense of security and support despite her mishaps. A woman who saw beyond her struggles to attain peace.
No hero is the same, everyone’s hero should be different in their own special way in order for them to be a hero. My Aunt Janine is my hero because of her courageous acts of kindness and hard-working charisma. To me, I also think heroes should teach valuable lessons. My hero taught me self-confidence and to always try my hardest to reach for my goals and to not let any obstacles get in my way. As you can see, my hero is my amazing aunt because, she loves me and would do anything for my safety and she inspires me to work hard and achieve my
What is a hero? According to dictionary.com, a hero is person who, in the opinion of others, has special achievements, abilities, or personal qualities and is regarded as a role model or ideal. Henrietta was strong, caring, and unselfish. She cared about her family very much as her final request was to make sure her children would be well taken care of,“You make sure Day takes care of them children…Don’t you let anything bad happen to them when i’m gone.” Henrietta as a mother I believe would prefer putting herself through the pain she experienced as long as her children did not have to live that weather it was her choice or not. That is what a hero is. Henrietta was not only important to her family and friends, but as
One time I was sick and my dad did not have medicine for me, and she was all worried about me. I went to her house, and she took care of me. She had just got over being sick, and she did not care if she got sick again. The third reason my grandma Vicky is my hero is she is hardworking.
"All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming" said Helen Keller, a woman who faced many obstacles in her life ("Fun"). Most people don't dedicate their lives to help others, especially if they have disabilities themselves, but Helen Keller is a different story. At 19 months old, Helen Keller was diagnosed with a disease that led her to be deaf and blind. A true hero is someone who is dedicated to help others in need no matter the circumstances/struggle he or she faces, never gives up, and is an inspiration for others. Helen Keller is a hero because she overcame the struggle of being deaf and blind by never giving up, dedicated her life to help others, and made change in the world despite her disabilities.
She raised her daughter to be respectful. “You never know where you might end up and who will get you there,” Gran said. Instilling this discipline in my mother, she intern instilled it in me and my other siblings. Therefore, because of my Gran Ma, I am where I am today.
Heroes are not always people who lead marches or do things for their country. For example policemen, firefighters, nurses, lifeguards etc. are heroes everyday because they take the time to save lives. When they’re going through a challenge or trying to overcome a conflict they always have courage. These people risk their own life to save someone else’s. To be more specific Dr. Ginger Holt from Dallas had saved a little boy’s leg. She was confident and determined to finding out what went wrong in the boy’s leg and went through many procedures looking at the tests.
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is
She would be the first person you want to go to when you needed help, you were confused or lost, or if you just wanted to talk. She was there for everybody. She worked tirelessly to help the people she cared about, taking in and housing so many, putting all her efforts into raising so many that weren’t even her own children, but she treated them as such. I was one of many “adopted” children, and because I was growing up without my mom at the time, my auntie took over that role. There were times where we butted heads and disagreed, but no matter what was going on, my success was the most important thing on her mind. Even when I was suffering from severe depression and didn’t care about my own future, she made my education her top priority, doing everything in her power to ensure I prosper. Having such a helping heart often made things difficult for her, but she was never
There have been times where she didn’t have much left for herself, but she took what she had and gave it to someone who needed it way more than she did. You can begin to see what type of person my grandmother is. She’s always smiling and happy that she got to see another day. My grandmother is the type of woman who will go out of her way to see somebody else happy. She tells me every day that the reason she does all the things she does is because she had God to thank, and I admire her for that.
