My hero is Mia Hamm.  She now plays on the U.S. Women's Natonal Team.
    Mia took them to the Olympics and won the gold in '96, (in Atlanta)
    although she doesn't like taking credit for it all.
    When I grow up, I want to be an athlete just like Mia.  I would get to
    travel around the world, play with the best women athletes in the U.S.,
    and play against the hardest teams in the world.
    To achieve my dream, I will have to practice often and stick with
    soccer for a long time.  I'm already playing two seasons of soccer a
    year.
    Mia is the best female soccer player I've ever watched.  I want to be
    like her and have people think of me like that.

Of all the people in the world I would choose my parents as my heroes.
    My mother is very smart, and she would give her life for me and my
    brother.
    My dad is a teacher.  He has been my soccer coach for almost as long as
    I can remember.
    I would like to be just like them because they are very smart, and they
    would give anything for me.   To be as well off as they are I would
    have to continue school and get an exellent education.  Almost the most
    important is that I would have to get a good job to support me and my
    family.

My hero is an interior designer.  Interior designers are people that
    design the inside (interior) of a person's house to make it livable and
    satisfying.
    I would want to be an interior designer because I like to design stuff,
    and I am pretty good at it, too.  You also get to draw and color
    coordinate, and I love doing both of these things.  To be able to do
    this job, you have to be good in math at doing measurements.  They have
    to measure how much wall paper they will need for each square foot, or
    how big or small the furniture has to be in order to fit in the space
    allowed.    The most important thing about being a designer is that
    being able to help make people have a comfortable, and livable house.
    In order to be an interior designer, I will have to graduate from high
    school, and go to college.

My hero is Bobby Brannen.  He is a really good basketball player and he
    is respected by the Bearcats.  He is also pretty cute.
    I want to be like him because I would love to be known as well as
    respected by the Bearcats.  I would also like to be on TV.
    What I would have to do to be like him would practice and become very
    good at basketball.

My hero is Rick Pitino.  I would like to be like him because he is a
    good person and is loyal to the University of Kentucky.
    He also has won a National Championship, and a ton of S.E.C. titles.

I want to be like my Aunt.  She is always carpooling kids to classes
    even though  she doesn't have any.  I want to be like her because she
    is beautiful, athletic, and has good taste in friends, clothes and
    music.  To be like her  I will have to be friendly with all people.  I
    think she is the best hero for me because these things are reasonable
    tasks.

My idea of a hero is someone with  no hero at all.  Someone who models
    themself after no one and does what they please no matter what people
    do or say. Some one not afraid to stand up for what they believe in no
    matter the consequences .  Right now there is no one who I can see that
    has those qualities.  Even if I could I wouldn't call them a role
    model.  I wouldn't because I don't think people should model themselves
    after anyone they should be themselves not someone else.

My hero is my Great Uncle Karl.  He was a very rich inventor.  He was
    the inventor of the first off shore oil rig.
      He had to work very hard to get where he got.  He had to go to
    college many years.   He invented something used all over the world.
    For me to get to the point where my uncle got it will take some time.
    I will have to go to college for many years.
    My Great Uncle Karl was a very talented man.  Even though I never met
    him, I am very proud to be part of his family.
