My Hero
My Hero Most people's definition of a Hero would be someone who is famous. However, my definition of a Hero is someone that cares about you and is always willing to lend a helping hand whenever needed. My Hero is my mom, even though she's not perfect, she is always there for me. When I'm sad she can always put a smile on my face.

Her name is Suzanne Gibbons, she was born on March 28, 1960 in Birmingham, Alabama. She has dark brown hair and brown eyes. My mom is tall and thin. She is very athletic, she runs a mile every morning before she drives me to school and goes to work.

My mother is hilarious and is hardly ever serious except when she needs to be. Some mothers are really strict and never allow their children to do anything, but my mom is different. She allows me to experience things for myself. I know that if I need her she is always there. There are times when she is strict, such as school work, grades, cleaning my room, etc. She has always taught me to respect others as I would want them to respect me. My mom is really laid back, but she is stern as well.

My mom moved around alot when growing up. My grandfather was in then Army. Mom went to alot of different schools. She graduated from high school from Winchester, Kentucky. When she was in high school she played on the basketball team. The team won the State Championship two years in a row. After high school she attended University of Kentucky. She played on the basketball team at the University and fell during the game.

As a result, she injuried her knee and tore her ACL and she had to have therapy for a long time. Needless to say, that ended her carrer in basketball.

Now that you know my mom, I guess you are wondering why I chose her as my Hero? Well, she is my Hero because she always helps me when I need her. I can remember one time in seventh grade I had a project due. I had known about this project for sometime and waited until the last minute. Well, when I told mom about that I needed

    There are many definitions of the word ‘hero’ but Dictionary.com defines a hero as a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities, a person who, in the opinion of others, has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal, the principal male character in a story, play, film, etc. While growing up, I can remember many instances where we were asked to write about and describe who we felt our ‘hero’ was. The common and cliche answer amongst many people is “my mom.” Under the dictionary definition I don’t know that all of my classmates moms, including my own, are heroes.…

    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.…

    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.

    “My Heroes” was written by Elizabeth Berg, who has published many popular books since 1993. In the article, Berg told us that real heroes were ordinary people around us. Because Berg’s daughter chose her friend as a hero who saved her from drowning in a creek, Berg realized a hero wouldn’t have to be a famous person. When Mrs. Zinz, an eighth-grade English teacher, was harassed by Berg and her friend, she wasn’t angry. Mrs. Zinz didn’t lower herself and become mean. Another hero in Berg’s mind was her grandfather who was kind, warm and friendly. He liked to make his grandchild laugh. Sylvia, Berg’s mother-in-law, could enjoy her retirement life but instead, she went back to school to get a college diploma. Berg admired her because of her love of learning. Moreover, there were the people that Berg admired because of their jobs, such as mail carriers, nurses, stay-at-home mothers, and working mothers. Many people are around us every day, but you may not realize that they are heroes. However, Berg believes that if you look at them in a different way, you would know that they are heroes.…

This left me thinking, " Is this the end of the beginning or the beginning of the end". What I needed was something to help get me through these traumas. That 's where my hero, Ozzy Osbourne, comes in. In the essay "My Heroes", Elizabeth Berg describes how her daughters hero is her friend Laura.
