When you think of a hero who is the first person that pops into your head? Anyone can be your hero, my hero is tall, strong , and has eyes as soft as the sky, his hair is light and fluffy like clouds. My hero is my grandpa, known to many as Robert Winnie, but I call him papa. Robert Winnie grew up in a big family. He had two parents, one sister, and three brothers. As an adult, he worked at Eaton Proving Grounds for many years, where he would test drive cars, he also worked a second job at a furniture store to better support his family. Robert Winnie is married to Jean Winnie, and they have three kids. Robert Winnie has taught through his actions to be patient, supportive of others, and be selfless. That is only a few of the many reasons …show more content…
My grandpa always comes to my sporting events to cheer me on. When he comes, he brings along his camera, taking a million pictures a second, capturing every moment. When I got sick when I was younger papa would always take me to his house, and make sure I was ok. He would wrap me in a mountain of blankets, bring me chicken noodle soup, and turn on Looney Tunes.He would never freak out about me getting him sick like a lot of people did which would make me feel better. Sometimes when my parents are really busy, my grandpa will almost always be there to get me from place to place, never complaining about how it was inconvenient for him or how he had somewhere better to be. Along with being supportive, my grandpa is one of the most selfless people I know. Whenever my family needs help with anything he is the first person we call because we know that if anyone can do it, or is willing to do it, it’s him. My dad owns a landscaping and plowing business, so he is always wearing down his trucks, causing them to break down a lot. Papa is always up to the challenge of fixing them, even though he never has to. One thing that is really important to him is family, he has always, always put family first. My grandpa may not have a cape, or have super powers, but he has a heart of gold, and for me that's all a hero has to have. If I'm lucky I’ll be half the person he is. Robert Winnie has taught me through his actions to be patient, supportive of others, and
The person i consider to be the most inspiring and heroic is my dad Dr.Maurice Landers.Ther reason i consider him a hero is because he has made a big impact on mine and and others lives.He grew up in a small town of Mississippi called Port Gibson, there wasn't much there and he grew up in still accomplish his dreams.He exceeded his dreams, he went through college and almost failed the class that his job is mainly based but turned it all around on what he kept going and now we live in a beautiful house because he kept going.This is just one reason why he is a hero.
My grandpa is the best grandpa ever , he teaches me stuff and always cheers me up when I'm sad . He always helps me when I don't know what I'm doing and no matter what we are doing doesn't matter if it's working or not we always have fun together and I know I don't see him a lot but when I do I cherish the moments I have with him . That is why my grandpa is my Michigan hero
What I admire most What I admire most about my great grandpa is that he was a hero to save a bunch of people but yet he is still my grandpa. I also like how he is kind and respectful to everyone he meets because he knows that you need to treat others how you want to be treated because if you don’t others will be mean to you. Another way I admire him is that he is helpful and tries to help as best as he can.
A hero can be like Martin Luther King Jr, a person who fought for people's right. These kinds of heroes put others needs in front of their own needs so the end result will be for the greater good for everyone. These heroes stride for a better world so humankind can live in peace and harmony. They are self-sacrificing
For me though, he was the best grandpa I could have asked for. He didn’t buy me gifts or come watch me in my dance shows, but he was the one person in this world who has ever made me feel as special as he did. My grandpa didn’t like most people. In fact, he had a very select number of people he enjoyed being around, and being one was a privilege. My dad always words it so well he says, “Pop Pop loves everyone in our family, but he only really likes a few of us.”
Mainly because he knows that there is somebody out there who needs and he could not live with the feeling that he wasted something that someone else needed. My grandpa is also extremely hard working and will never quit a job until it is done. He has made his own house and pavilion, which is basically a small hut where my family likes to gather and have celebrations like birthdays and family reunions. Earlier this year my abuelo even helped us prepare our house to put up on the market. He tore down the somewhat melted sidings on our house from our grill that caught on fire and put up brand new ones, power washed our driveway, and even helped my dad put the railing back up on the stairs that kept falling
Without their countless influences throughout the past years, I know that they helped me be the best man I could be, in my day-to-day life. My mother’s dad, Joe, is compassionate, disciplined, and mellow grandfather. What I have taken away from him, is to not sweat the small stuff. If we worry or stress about every minor detail we often get caught up in situations that cause more drama than necessary. What makes him heroic, is attitude towards life.
Heroes care not only for themselves, but for others. In the White House Funeral Sermon for Abraham Lincoln, “...not for himself only, not for us only, but for all people in all their coming generations till time shall be no more…” This means that President Lincoln took risks not to ensure his safety but to make sure that he would be known as a doer. Lincoln knew that what he was doing would revolutionize the way not only the way his generation would live but all future ones. This showed that he cared not only for himself but for people he would never get the pleasure of meeting. Back in World War II a true hero was born. One of the bloodiest battles of WWII, Hacksaw Ridge, was lucky to have Desmond Doss as a part of their medical team. He saved 75 people. Most in which others had left behind, for they thought that they weren’t saving. He cared about every single one making it back to base to be helped despite who was after him. Or even in the 9/11 boatlift many heroes stepped up to the plate. Vincent Ardolino, Captain of the Amberjack V,
There have been countless influential people in my life that I’ve come across. One who was a meticulous inspiration continues to be my grandfather. My grandmother had remarried to the one I call “grandpa” when I was at the age of five, and they both took to each other’s grandchildren as their own. With my mother and me only living a mile down the road from their farmhouse out in the country, I’d spent heaps amount of time there as a child. Indeed, I had been without a father but my grandfather stepped up to the plate and had taken me under his wing and willingly played the personification of a father figure.
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. Mahatma Gandhi, one of the greatest heroes, led a nonviolent revolution to free his country. Even a parent can be a hero to his or her child by leading them in the right direction. 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.
Before my grandfather had to stay in the hospital, my father took him to his chemotherapy or radiation appointments during the week. My uncle built a ramp to the door so that it would be easier to move my grandfather, who was in a wheel chair, in and out of the house. My mother took care of any paperwork that needed to be done as well as any medical-related tasks. When my grandfather received hospice care in the last month of his life, my mother and grandmother helped bathe and change him as well as cook special meals for
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.
Grandpa is almost ninety-five and now resides in a nursing home. The leg he fractured forty years ago is too weak to carry his weight. His eyes are going bad. But to me he's still the big, strong man who used to take his grandchild in his arms and rock to
My grandparents are gregarious people, who always look at the positive in everything and are always smiling. They greet people with a smile and ask them how their day is going. Having people join us at their home for holiday events is a regular occurrence. Whether you are related to us or not, they are eager to have others join us. No matter what the situation, good or bad, they are constantly smiling. My grandpa was recently diagnosed with dementia, a brain disease relating to memory loss. Although he is forgetful and confused once in awhile, he still finds a way to crack a joke and get you to smile. When something goes wrong my grandparents will tell me to look at the positive side and help me to realize that there are more life events that go right than go wrong. When things go wrong they want to
I talk to him all the time on the phone. My grandfather introduced me to golf when I was very young. Golf is my biggest passion and we share that bond. He is the person I call whenever I need advice. My grandfather worked two jobs in order to provide for his family. That strong work ethic and determination are things I take away from him. He has had many different experiences in life. My grandfather is very open about the mistakes he has made. He loves sharing his experiences so that I am better prepared for things I will face in
