David Suzuki: My Hero
David Suzuki

The amazing person I've chosen to be my hero is David Suzki. Heroes can come in all shapes and sizes but, what truly does make a hero? It's an easy, but difficult question to answer. To me a hero is someone who helps others. A hero doesn't need to be a god, superhero, president or belong to mythological tales to reach the criteria of a "hero". Anyone who helps someone else is a hero. It's beyond simple. Just by doing that one thing, that person is a hero. I've chosen this amazing human who's known as "David Suzuki" to be my hero. I do not doubt my decision one bit either, David is amazing. There's 3 large reasons why I've chosen him to be my hero!: He's been an amazing role model, has helped a myriad of animals and last of

Davidwas born on March 24th, 2016. At a very young age, David had faced many hardships, which even make me question how he turned out to be the person he is. As a child, he was moved out from his home, his family's business was sold soon after and he was split apart from his siblings and had his father sent to a labor camp, all this because of the horrible interment: The disease given from the injections of the World War. David's truly inspiring to me, as he's gone through quite a rough childhood, then he's moved on to such high places and has made such a difference. David Suzuki has also greatly affected our environment, implemented different views into many young people's minds and has thus made my generation's bitter future, just a little sweeter. Soon after this imprisonment, David soon went on to graduate at Amherst College, soon after moving on to taking different jobs and activities in different fields. He is truly inspiring. He makes me aspire to become a better person. David had such a rough beginning, though he's managed to shape it so well and highly, I just get inspired each and every time that i think someone who can have such a rough beginning could work so hard to achieve such high standards. He makes many aspire to be better along with strive to reach the top, like he did, with his amazing story, speeches, quotes and similar things. David has changed many people and influenced people in great ways! He is not a normal …show more content…
He is not just a hero to humankind, but to animals as well! David is sending his sharp knowledge across the globe, releasing unknown and crucial information to many. Though this is not making a full stop to habitat loss and other similar issues, causing animals to face extinction, it sure is making a difference though. Not only that but David is also constantly working around the clock to get his views and ideas all across. This advocate has made a large change. He has influenced so many so positively that people themselves have now even begun to take matters in their own hands, even some companies and small organizations have grabbed and taken David's motives as their own. David himself has even created an organization to help in the saving of animals and other similar enivormental issues, named "David Suzuki Foundation". David has actually gone beyond and has worked on saving multiple creatures with this one organization:Salmon, butterflies, polar bears, etc. David has spread his optimistic rays of knowledge and morals across the globe at the speed of light. He is now one of the largest, if not the largest stars in the Scientific Community and Enviromentalist World. These teachings apply to all of us in many different ways and we can all learn from them. Mr. Suzuki has helped multiple animals and given fruits of knowledge to so many. David Suzuki is a

    David Suzuki is the host of CBC’s hit television show, The Nature of Things, and has also written many entertaining, yet, educational essays such as “The Right Stuff.” This particular essay written by this well-known Canadian Science icon, failed to support its thesis that high school science courses should begin each class with sex education, because Suzuki spends far too much time reflecting on a personal anecdote rather than addressing the counterarguments.…

    In the 1870‘s, Japanese baseball began, but at that time, baseball players played wearing kimonos and bare feet. Nowadays, most American baseball enthusiasts know Japanese top level players, such as Daisuke Matsuzaka, Hideki Matsui, and Ichiro Suzuki because they have many accomplishments in the highest level baseball league MLB [Major League Baseball]. Many Japanese professional baseball players are trying to move to America, as a result by 2009 16 Japanese players belonged to MLB teams (48 players born in Japan). Although there are not many players from Japan playing in America, the ones playing have had a great impact on Japanese baseball. Moreover, many of the Japanese MLB players have accomplished a lot with their teams. Many of them were star Japanese baseball players, and therefore have had a big effect on business because a lot of Japanese tourists travel to the U.S. to watch baseball games. In addition, some Japanese MLB players have very interesting styles, such as Hideo Nomo, and Ichiro Suzuki. These Japanese MLB player’s activities also affect other Asian countries, so some Korean and Chinese Taipei players transferred to MLB too. However, they have not only have a good impact, they also have a bad impact for Japanese people. For example, many top level professional players transfered to MLB, so the Japanese professional baseball league level has gone down. In addition, some high-school and amateur baseball players go to MLB directly, so the Japanese professional league loses young talented players too. Therefore, the impact of Japanese MLB players is huge and affects many countries.…

    What is a hero? A hero to me is a person who is brave, has a bunch of courage and knows right from wrong. You don’t have to have a mask or a suit to be a hero. A hero is willing to help a person at anytime. A hero can kill their enemy with kindness. For an example I believe Jackie Robinson is an incredible, life changing hero. He had been the first African American to play in the Major League Baseball. He had played for the Brooklyn Dodgers. They played him and they had ended racial segregation.…

    One kind of hero that exists all over the world is the everyday hero. The person that I consider my everyday hero is my mother. The qualities that make her my hero are her way of doing things, and also how she sacrifices herself for me. For example, she is responsible and shows her stronger side in front of us when we are facing difficult times. Also she is so lovely that almost everyone likes her when they meet her. She always says to me that her duties are to look after me but at the same time to give me the freedom to make mistakes and find bright sides of my mistakes. The way that she influences me is that I see that sometimes she leaves what she is doing for her to take care of me. Even though many people argue that heroes are not real, I will disagree with them because I believe that everybody has a hero who protects them and looks after them.…

    The definition of a hero could be someone who you idolize, someone who does something commendable and significant (either for you personally, the world, or both), someone who affects life in a positive way and is a valuable addition to the world and/or someone who possesses admirable qualities. If any aspect of that definition applies to you then there is a great chance that you are a hero to somebody. Alyce Putnam, my great grandmother on my mother’s side, is my hero.

    Christopher Reeve once said, “A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” Many people in this world who we consider “heroes” started just like any average kid. They were not born heroes or with special talents. They just have the willingness and determination to succeed and fight their way around obstacles. That is what I see everyday from my brother. He is just a normal person, but whether he is studying or doing his job he excels at it. He knows that if he just sits there and worries he won’t succeed in anything. This is why I look at him as my Personal Michigan Hero and why others should as well.…

    A hero can be real or fictional but either way a hero goes through the same stages and has choices to make to help others at whatever cost. Someone may not seem like they could be a hero but by doing what they can, could help make a huge difference in someone’s life. Being a hero is not always what movies and comic books make it out to be; a hero can be a regular person being generous. Making the right choices and decisions is what helps shape a person to be a hero; they don’t become one just for the fame.…
