One of my hero's is Louis.  She is an excellent veterinarian. I would
    love to be a veterinarian like Louis because I love animals, and I want
    to know more about them.
    To be a veterinarian I would have to go to college and study these
    subjects: biology, science, math, chemistry, and other subjects.  After
    I got my diploma from college, I would have to train for awhile before
    I became a veterinarian.  I will try my hardest to accomplish this
    goal.

My hero is Itzhak Perlman.  He is my hero because he has a disease that
    makes him unable to walk, but he still became a concert violinist.  I
    would like to be like Itzhak Perlman because he overcame his problems
    and worked as hard as he could to become a concert violinist.

My hero is Martin Luther King. He helped African Americans gain
    equality. When he was a young boy, he didn't think blacks were treated
    fairly. As a young man, he spoke to fellow blacks about being treated
    unfairly. During this time in our history, blacks had to sit in the
    back of the bus, drink from separate water fountains, go to different
    schools, and were constantly made to feel like they were less than the
    whites.  Martin Luther King spoke out against this unfair treatment,
    but insisted that protest against this treatment be peaceful. That's
    why Martin Lurther King Jr. is my hero.

My dad makes Frisch's wonderful tartersauce.  He is a very caring and
    loving person.  When I am older, I hope to be as caring and giving of a
    person as he is.
     I will have to keep going to the factory where he works and meet the
    new people that come there, and learn about the things that my dad
    does.    When my dad is not at the e factory he is usually at home
    spending time with me.   I love my dad very much and some day hope to
    be just like him.  I hope my kids like me as much as I like my dad.

My hero is Dr. James Herriot.  He is a veterinary surgeon.  He has
    worked hard to save the lives of many animals.  I would want to be like
    him because I would like to help animals.  I would have to work hard to
    achieve my dream.  I need to do well in school.  Dr. James Herriot was
    very successful and I hope to be, too!

My hero is my grandma Gardner. She is very caring, loving, and helpful.
    She feeds me and helps me with my homework when I get stuck . To be
    like her I have to be kind and helpful to anyone in need of help or
    anything else.

My heroes are my grandparents.  I admire them because they live their
    dream life. Their job is to fix up houses. They have made many
    contributions. They always make feel important when I'm sad, and make
    houses look nicer then the used to. when I'm older I want to be just
    like them.

Thomas Edison Is the person that I admire.  He began as a little boy
    with a dream.  He tryed to find out what "Sam Winchester" he was called
    "Mad Miller."  Sam made a balloon. The frist time he tryed it did not
    fly it burned down his mill but the seconed the balloon worked.  So
    Thimas started to make a lab of his own.
    He began saving up all his money and got a lab own.  Then he worked on
    a train and sold newspaper, candy, and sadwiches. Later he invented the
    light bulb, photograph, and telephone.
    I admire him for his scientific ways and his creative genius ways.  He
    worked hard to achieve a dream.

This paper is about a person that is my hero.  This person is someone
    that I have looked up to for my entire life, my dad.  He is my hero
    because he will help me with projects, homework, and study for  tests
    even if he is really busy.  I also consider him my hero because he will
    tell me what I am doing wrong in sports to try to make me a little bit
    better at that sport.  He will also drop what he is doing to let me do
    something fun like go to a party or to a friends house.  He will even
    just come and full around with me by maybe having a snow ball fight or
    throwing a baseball.  He is also a very hard worker.
    I know I don    t tell my dad this but I want him to know, he is my
    hero and that I love him.  I think everyone should have a dad that is
    as great as mine.  I consider myself very lucky.

Susan B. Anthony is my hero.  She fought against prejudice against
    women and African Americans.  Because of her work, the New York
    legislature passed the Married Women Property Bill. Before this was
    passed there was no law against abuse to women by their husbands.  The
    women were considered the husbands property so they could do what they
    wanted to them.  She also made African Americans men allowed to vote.
    She fought for the rights of these people and never gave up, even
    though so many people were against her.
    I want to be like her she fought and never gave up on things she
    believed in.  Although I don't think I'll work for what she did, I will
    take her example of hard work and her great persistence in things she
    wanted to happen.  I think Susan B. Anthony was a great women that
    people should look up to.

My hero is my dad. Not many people's dad has taken a team to the Rose
    Bowl.  My dad was a coach at Ohio State when they went to the Rose
    Bowl.   He played four years of high school football.  He was also a
    starter as a sophmore in college.  He also is the best dad in the
    world.

My hero is Wilt Chamberlain. He is my hero because he was a real good
    athlete. He helped basket-ball become very popular and did things for
    charity. I want to be like him because I'm a basket ball player also
    and I want to grow to be as good as he is. To be like him I would have
    to work really hard to become a skillful basket ball player and maybe
    give up some of my other social activities. In conclusion, I think Wilt
    Chamberlain is a kind person as well as an excellent athlete. I wish I
    could be like the person I look up to ( even if I can't score 100
    points per game).

My hero was my dad.  He graduated from college on a full scholarship
    for football.  He's a real estate manager. He wrote a book  called,
    "Fair Housing."

My hero isn't someone that I know or can even touch.  My hero exists in
    my mind.  To create a hero I pulled some of the best qualities out of
    the people surrounding me.
    My hero is someone who helps.  He or she is someone who is careful and
    patient.  My hero is understanding and serious, but can still see the
    silver lining in things.  This idol is somebody  who doesn't blow-up at
    his or her friends.  The role model I think of is someone who wouldn't
    mind giving up some time to serve at the soup kitchen.  My hero is
    someone special.
    I want to be like this person because not only are they good deeds they
    are helping people and being good-hearted.   How can you beat that?
    I wonder if there is someone out there that fits my description.  Do
    you know anyone?

My hero is Jackie Chan. I admire him because he is a great actor and a
    fantastic martial arts expert.
    I also admire him because he does his own stunts. I've only seen him in
    three different movies. Rumble in the Bronx, Jackie Chan's First
    Strike, and Police Force. My favorite one was probably Rumble in the
    Bronx when he jumped from one building to the deck of another one.

My hero is (The man who runs like the grounds on fire), Jesse Owens.
    He made many records during his running years. He also plays in a band.
    He made speeches and helps people to understand things. I really like
    him because he is really fast, and he helps other people to live up
    their dreams.
