My hero is Ken Griffey Jr. He is my hero because he achieved his
dream. He made it to the major leagues. That's where I hope to be someday.
I have meat with Ken Griffey's hitting coach and talked to him about what
it would take to get me to the pros. He said that if I practiced everyday
for 15 minutes he guaranteed me I would be there. He was drafted out of
high school. I have a dream to be like him . I will achieve that dream!

My hero  Jim G. inspires me to do great things someday. Jim is a
vet. in Nebraska city Nebraska. I would like to be like him because he is a
vet. and he has saved a lot of animals including one of our  calf  was he
gave him a pill and gave him some mineral oil. I want to be like him so
that I can save someone animals. I think it is important to have a vet. in
every town because so many people have animals.

My Hero is my mom. My mom says that there is a large world out
there and that I am going to have to face it myself someday. She encourages
me to do my best in school and to treat others the way I want to be
treated. My mom would do anything for me if I wanted to do something. I
like when she listens to my kind of music even if she doesn't
want to. She is willing to help anyone out. She is even an athletic
supporter. She inspires me to do a lot of great things.
  The reason I want to be like my mom is so I can tell my kids the
same things that my mom tells me now.
 To achieve this I have to work to be the best kid I can and grow up
with the proper knowledge so I don't get the wrong ideas in my head. I hope
that I can grow up to be just like my mom.

My Hero
By Shannon Reed
   My hero is my mom and dad. They inspire me to do great things. My
mom and dad have been there for me since the day I was born. When they
found out I had a cleft lip and a cleft pallet they still loved me as if I
didn't have it. My parents have been with me for all of my surgeries and
I'm still not done with them. My parents and I,  fight a lot but we always
make up afterwards. My mom and dad are very protective over me because I'm
an only child. But I can protective over them  sometimes too.
The reason I want to be like my mom and  dad is because they are
always there   for me good or bad. They also show me the way to do great
things. I will achieve this dream  when I grow up, and I will show
my kids the respect my mom and dad showed me.

My hero is my Uncle Ross
         My hero is a great person. One thing I really like him for is
buying my first set of darts and my first dart board. He is the one who let
me shoot my first gun. He also showed me how to gut a deer. He takes me
fishing a lot but so does my dad. My uncle and  I are planning to go ice
fishing when the ponds ice up again. Him and I just bought an auger to
drill a hole on the ice. Now we have to buy a ice house. He taught me how
to reel with different lures, were to catch different fish at, and how to
cast a open face reel. He lets me drive his new 4- wheeler when ever I want
to.

My mom is my HERO

 She has put a roof over my head ,cloths on my back ,and food in my
mouth. Well If I'm in any trouble she is always there to help me out. All I
have to do is to do good things and to do good deeds. She helps me out and
other things. If I'm  grounded she always lets me go to a few places
   I Like my Mom
