I normally never have trouble writing essays, but when my teacher told us we would have to write about our Michigan hero, my mind went blank. Once I thought about it, I had many names racing through my head but I kept coming back to one. However I brushed it off and went through the names one more time. As my description of a hero became clearer, I found myself back to the person I first had thought of:my mom.
Robin Renee Yancer was born December, 4th, 1983. Maybe she's not as patient, brave or selfless as most. So you may ask, How is she a hero? When I think of a hero none of those words come to mind. My mom has stuck by me through everything, when my dad first left my world became cold, I felt unwanted. Only four at the time I didn't see how a parent could just do this to a child or how in the long run it could be a good thing someone with that much meaning could just vanish and eventually you wouldn't care. Every time I time I cried over people's stupidity she never judged me but instead took me into her arms and there I stayed protected from the world. We moved around a lot when I was little and Coleman,Mi is the place where I have stayed the longest. There has come times when my mom is going through some rough things but she doesn't abandon me, she is still there taking care of me. She could be crying herself to sleep, not caring about the world and still speak these words to me, ‘’I want us to both be able to be happy, it's not about me being happy anymore.’’ In my
My Michigan hero is my mom, she is one of my biggest inspirations. She somehow raises five kids, is a school director at her work, working on getting her master's degree, is one of two color guard directors, runs back and forth for all of our sports and extracurriculars, and finally somehow still manages to cook dinner and help with homework. She is and has always been my biggest role model and she is always willing to help out and is an all around good person. She even somehow manages to keep the house clean with five kids and two dogs running around all the time going back a forth through it all. She has always encouraged me to do the things I like and try my best even if I don’t like it. She also has supported me and all my siblings in everything we try. She will come to every
Not a Hero is a simple and beautiful World War One poem by Clyde Hamilton which has been read at ANZAC Day ceremonies across Australia. The poem tells a narrative of an ANZAC veteran, or “old digger”, at an ANZAC ceremony telling stories of heroes to a young boy. It effectively uses a simple, yet descriptive and telling vocabulary, as well as using literary devices such as rhyme and alliteration. It’s conservative and structured style demonstrated throughout the poem creates rhythm and makes the poem flow and thus easier to fathom.
My hero is Vesta Colvin, also known as my Mom. She is my chosen hero because she didn't just make sacrifices for me, she's made them for virtually our whole family. My mother is the youngest of two, but due to certain circumstances she had to relinquish that role. Her role as the youngest had to be relinquished because my aunt decided to start having kids at about 14 years old and that forced her to grow up faster than she should’ve
Everyone in the world has someone they look up to and want to be just like them one day. Everyone has different opinions about who a true hero is. My personal hero is my dad, David Laetzsch. My dad is my favorite person in the world because he is always there when I need him the most and I don’t know where I would be today without him. He has helped get me to the great life I have now and I am forever thankful for all he does for me. Nobody could ever compare to my father. He is the most caring, loving and genuine person I know even if he doesn’t show it sometimes, and that is why he is my hero.
As we grow up throughout life, we hold onto many heroes as they have impacted our life. Looking into my personal life, my hero consists of my mother, Darla Linden. She defined a hero as “a person stepping up in a situation without thinking they also are in harm 's way”(Linden, Darla). Throughout my lifetime my mom has been there for me since day one and has helped nurtured me.. She sacrifices many things for myself and for my family by providing us with our daily needs. I can always count on her to point me in the right direction by pursuing my dreams and wishes. I admire her caring heart and faithfulness the most because she would drop anything instantly to help someone else in need. She supports me in all of my extra curricular activities and motivates myself to bring out my full potential. I get inspired by her courageous character by never backing down to a challenge and always finishing through. When I asked my mom who she picked as her hero she said, “the service men and women of all branches who fight for our country”(Linden, Darla). They provide us with safety by sacrificing
A hero can teach many life lessons, morals and various other things. A hero is someone who can be seen as a role model or hope to people. A view of a hero is different to everyone. A hero can save someone from a fire, they can be there to give support or even enlighten people. My heroes may differ from another person writing this same paper. The title hero is given to people for multiple reasons.
My grandmother, Bettye Morris, truly resembles a hero because she never gave up. Two summers ago, she was diagnosed with cancer and had to endure many treatments. Sadly, she lost the battle, but that does not mean she did not put up a fight. She went through countless treatments of radiation and chemotherapy. Even when she was tired and did not feel like going on, she fought back and proved doctors wrong many times. She lived longer than anybody thought she would. She will forever live on as a legacy in my family because of how determined she was and how she never gave up.
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
Maya Angelou is also a hero because of her perseverance. She took all her pain and energy to channel into her pathway of the arts and giving back to her community. At
We all have our heros. For some it may be a superhero like batman, or a special person in there life. For me it is special person. Someone who has helped me time and time and has been there for me. This person’s name is Grace Snyder-Hansen. She is my hero because she is has great character qualities.
Amelia Sheperd is my hero for the reason that, despite going through so much, she always bounces back. As a five year old, she witnessed her father being murdered in front of her and her older brother. As she grew up, she became addicted to prescription medicine and she overdoses. She was dead for three minutes. Her brother saved her life,
Even when we had nothing going for us, my mom still pulled through for us. There’s nothing I believe more than that my mom is the reason that my family made it out of the hole my childhood was surrounded by. If I were to ever go through the cheesy process of writing about ‘who my hero is’, I would more than likely write about my mom and everything she’s done for our
Even though the true definition of a hero is a male figure my mother is a hero to me. She has sacrificed an incredible amount of things for me and my family without hesitation. My biological father passed away when I was only two years of age, and my mother conquered over such a big milestone in our lives. She stands firm in her faith with the Lord, Jesus Christ, and it is He who helped her be brave enough to be a single mother. Most people would have been a coward and shut down, but my mother had the courage to take something terrible and allow it to strengthen us as a family. After my biological father’s death, a few years had passed, and my mom met my marvelous step-father, and they have blessed me with a merciful life filled with the love of Jesus Christ. My mother is willing to help anyone and everyone in a time of need. She is the type of woman that I aspire to
When the word "hero" is spoken, everyone has different thoughts. Some will think of super powers like flying and saving people from villains; while others have a certain person they know or have heard of that come to mind who have done something to make a difference in the lives of others but who is a hero to you? To answer this question you must first ask yourself what a hero is; what comes to your mind when someone says the word. When I am confronted with these questions I always have the same thoughts; smart, strong will power, and someone who stands up for what they believe is right.
What does make a hero a hero? Is it there looks? Alternatively, maybe is it their personality? However, the question is what are those essential qualities that make one a hero? Different people require different heroes to look up to or try to emulate. However, whoever it may be, they all possess certain qualities. My hero is my mother, for the reason that she is selfless, compassion, and courage. That kind of selflessness can often be premeditated, since concentrating on others' needs often winds up helping one accomplish one’s own goals. However, a heroic leader does so without any anticipation of a return. The display and concern show the care one has for others. This can often apparent itself in strong but gentle actions planned to increase the lives of others. Courage and bravery come to mind first when we think of heroism. However, it is difficult to achieve anything truly heroic unless one is up against overwhelming chances. As Nelson Mandela put it, "Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it." These minor acts of heroism rarely attract any notice. A true hero is always sympathetic, benevolent and shows a great deal of compassion and sympathy to those poorly or in agony. He or she keeps away judgements; that are oriented to the self and embraces an attitude that serves others.
