Heroes

Master Strongheart and Master Wells
Some of my most memorable moments as a child were while at martial arts, and involve the masters. They've helped me a lot in developing myself as a person and as a martial artist.

my hero

Another one of my hero's is Meghan Frei. She is always willing to help me in whatever way she can.She does things that I admire like when she keeps going after she gets hurt in board breaks or in sparring or anything else. She also looks at things in a positive way if she hurts herself and someone asks if she's ok she will say something like "oh it's just a scratch " or " it just hurts a little bit " or "i'm fine". I want to be a super like her and Meghan if you are reading this I just want to t

Heros, Alexie Sherman.

Alexie Sherman is an author of many books that have been censored. I respect the fact that he uses his freedom of speak to portray his stories, and that he isn't intimidated into writing his books how some people would think is right. That is why he is my hero.

Heros, my dad.

I chose my dad as one of my living heros because he shows me that if I work hard it will pay off. My dad has a job as a doctor which he has been working for for since I was a baby. He also does a lot of yard work and work around the house, showing me that if you really work hard at something you care about it'll eventually pay off, and you will succeed.
