My heroes are my mom and dad. They take care of me and help keep me alive.
They take me to the doctor and help me when I'm sick. They work all the
time just so they can buy me clothes and take care of me. I want to be like
them someday because they are both loving people

My hero, Benjamin Franklin, invented things to help people such as the
stove, the almanac, and, most importantly, electricity! I want to be like
him because I would like to be able to invent new things that are helpful
to people too. Also, Benjamin Franklin was smart. I admire him for that,
too.

My hero, Amanda Beard, inspires me to do great things in my life. Amanda
Beard swam in the last Summer Olympics when she was only sixteen. I want to
be like her because she is an excellent swimmer. I will have to practice
very hard to be able to achieve my goal. I hope I will get to be an athlete
in the Olympics someday. Melanie M. - Manheim Township School District/Neff

My heroes are the Wright Brothers. They inspire me to think of different
ideas and try them, without being ashamed. The Wright Brothers helped the
people in the world get around faster. They flew the first plane! I want to
be like them because I want to try my ideas and not be afraid. To be like
the Wright Brothers I will try my ideas to see if they work. I think that
they contributed a lot to the world!

special education at Manheim Township HIgh School. I want to be like my mom
because she helps people with disabilities. To be like my mom I will visit
special homes in my spare time. I think my hero (my mom) will continue to
be a great influence to me when I grow up.

My "hero" is actually a musical group called FFH. But my favorite member of
the group is Steve because he has a nice, deep voice that sounds like a
drum. Steve  seems to have fun with his job and that is why I want to be
like him. If I want to sing I  have to practice hard. Do you think this job
is good?

My hero, Charles Barkley, inspires me to say what I think and not what
someone wants me to think. He always says what he thinks and if he does not
like the way someone does something he tells them. I also learn from him
because sometimes he does things that are wrong and then I can try not to
make the same mistake. I think he is really good as basketball, too.
Steven D. - Manheim Township - Grade Six School - Lancaster, PA, USA

My hero, Jurge Campos inspired me to do great things someday. He's a goalie
for the Mexican National Team and for the Los Angeles Galaxy. I want to be
like him because he is a good goalie and he works hard to save shots and
lead his team to victory. I will have to work hard and do my best to be
like him.
Zach K. - Manheim Township - Grade Six School - Lancaster, PA, USA

My hero, Ken Griffey, Jr., inspires me because people make fun of him and
criticize him and he still does not get into fights - and he still hits
homeruns! To be like him I will not get into fights when I am made fun of.
Kenneth D. - Manheim Township - Grade Six School - Lancaster, PA, USA

My hero, Domonique Moceanu, inspired me to do great things someday.
Domonique Moceanu is a great gymnast. She is on the USA Olympic gymnastic
team. I always wanted to be like her ever since I was nice years old, and I
started to watch the TV when all the gymnasts were on doing their flips.
Domonique always tries to do her best, and never gives up. If you look
really close to her she always has a little smile while doing her
gymnastics. I always wanted to be as good as her in gymnastics so I go to
gymnastics now and always try my best.

My hero is talented, personable, outgoing and optimistic. His name is Scott
Hamilton. He overcame a childhood illness and with hard work and
determination throughout his competitive years of figure skating he became
an Olympic champion. Currently, Scott is still inspirational to many
people. Now Scott is in another battle, cancer. I admire Scott because of
his hope and determination. Being a figure skater myself gives me a great
respect for his accomplishments. In order to be like him I will attempt to
work hard and have faith in myself.

My hero, Michael Jordan, helped me to think about good things. Michael
Jordan gives money to charities, helps kids and teaches kids not to do
drugs, and more. I want to be like him because he does good things to help
people. What I have to do is, when I get older, give money to charities and
tell people not to do drugs. I know I will remember this!
Austin M. - Manheim Township - Grade Six School - Lancaster, PA, USA

My hero is my mom because she helps me with my homework and she makes me
dinner every night and she love me too. I would like to be like my mom
because she is passionate and because sometimes I am not. I will have to be
more passionate. To be more like my mother I will try to help more people
and to remember to also help myself! Sarah M. - Manheim Township - Grade
Six School - Lancaster, PA, USA

My heroes are my parents because they take care of me, they feed me, and
love me. I want to be like my parents because I want to take care of my
kids when I grow up. I hope I will do that! Matthew B. - Manheim Township -

My hero was a young woman names Princess Diana. She was the Princess of
England. She is my hero because she was rich and famous but she used her
fame and money to help others. She helps people that were very sick and
poor, especially children, AIDS victims, and land mine victims. She was
kind, giving, and she taught her sons about the real world. She died at the
young age of thirty-six.

My hero, Benjamin Franklin, inspired me to do great things some day.
Benjamin Franklin invented many things, like bifocal glasses. He also put
together the first fire station and invented the lightening rod. I want to
be like him because he improved and made the USA a safer place. I also want
to improve our nation. Benjamin Franklin was a great inventor which, in my
opinion, makes him a great person.

My hero, Cal Ripkin, inspired me to play baseball. Cal Ripkin set many
records and was the MVP of the American League. My favorite game was when
they played the Tigers one time and beat them 12-5. I hope I can go to the
Major League and beat the tigers. So far I am on the travel team, and I hit
my first home run.
Philip D. - Manheim Township - Grade Six School - Lancaster, PA, USA

My hero, Mother Theresa, inspired me to do great things someday. She gave
up her life to help the poor and to take care of the sick, especially those
with leprosy. She spent most of her time in India where people were
extremely poor and sanitary conditions are terrible. I also would like to
make conditions better for the poor and homeless. To be like Mother Theresa
I will help to collect and donate food to my church.

My hero, Sting (the music singer), helped save the rainforest by donating
money. I want to be like Sting because I love the rainforest and the
animals that live there. To achieve my dream I will help save the
rainforest myself someday by not polluting and treat the animals and plants
with respect. I hope that everyone will try to save the rainforest someday
so that the rainforest gets better and better everyday.

My two heroes are the Wright Brothers. They are my heroes because they
invented something great - THE AIRPLANE. It took a very long time for them
to finally get it right. Their scientific method was trial by error. I have
always been interested in planes. I have wooden planes, gas planes and
paper planes. I have also always love eagles. I am fascinated by the way
they soar on the wind current.
Justin P. - Manheim Township - Grade Six School - Lancaster, PA, USA

My heroes are my mom and dad. They take care of me and keep me alive. they

he is my hero.

My hero, Orville Wright, flew the first flight in aviation history. I want
to be like Orville by flying a new, never tested airplane when I grow up. I
will become and air pilot, then I will be somewhat famous, and that's how I
want to be like Orville.
George S. - Manheim Township - Grade Six School - Lancaster, PA, USA

My heroine, Christy Smith, inspired me to keep on going and to try new
things. Christy would have me try new things on our cheering squad so I
could achieve my goal of being a good cheerleader. I thank Christy. My
first year of cheerleading I wasn't the best cheerleader that you would
expectin factI was terrible! Then, Christy came along to coach our squad
the very next year. She taught our cheerleading squad that, without the
cheers, it's just a game. I wanna be like Christy and be a great
cheerleader just like she is and maybe even coach a squad. I will give
great spirit, smile my best and work my way up to college cheerleading
because I believe that I can be the best Laura C. ever! (And maybe the best
cheerleader, too!)

	My hero, Golda Meir, inspired me to believe in my religion and let
me know that I can do anything I put my mind to. She was born on May 3,
1898, in Kyyiv, Russia and died in Jerusalem on December 8, 1978. While she
was in her teens she decided she wanted to have a homeland for all Jewish
people. Golda was a Zionist, and through her life was a member of many
Zionist organizations. She was prime minister of Israel from 1969-1974, and
she resigned from her position during the Yom Kippur War of 1973. Although
she's no longer living, our memories of her remain in our hearts.

	My hero, Rebecca Lobo was one of the first women to play in the
WNBA. She inspired me to play better and she is why I want to play in the
WNBA. I want to be like her because both of us love basketball and she
plays in the WNBA and I really want to, too. I will have to practice my
skills more and try to play against older kids to get better at my game. To
be like her I will have to work harder and practice to get into the WNBA.

	My hero, Rosa Parks, inspired me to do the best when I grow up
because she fought so that African Americans can sit on the bus anywhere
they wanted to. I want to be like her because she wasn't scared to stand up
for her race. She's the best hero in the world!

	My heroes, my parents, inspired me to do great things some day. My
parents told me to be healthy and strong, not to be this person who sits on
the couch all day eating junk foods. They help me eat good and healthy
foods. They taught me the difference between right and wrong. They taught
me not to smoke, do drugs, or hang out with the wrong people. I want to be
like them because they are brave, they set goals, and they reach for them.
I will try my best to be like my heroes. Maybe someday I could be someone's
hero, too!

	My hero, my dad, has made a contribution to me and my brother. He
feeds us, takes us places, and does many more things for us. I want to be
like my dad because he's nice, strong, and works hard. I will have to work
hard and learn to be as nice as him. Brent  - Manheim Township School
District/Neff Grade Six School - Lancaster, PA, USA

	My hero, Gus Payne, makes me laugh and he plays jokes that are
really funny. You can almost do anything to him and he doesn't seem to
mind. He has a bald spot on his head, and I always say he should get some
hair grower. Whenever he chops up trees (or cuts wood or something) he
always breaks his chainsaw and has to get it repaired. I want to be like
him because I want to be funnier than I am now, and I want to learn how to
repair chain saws. To do this I will listen to what he says, and then try
to say things the way he does. That's why he is my hero. Lee  - Manheim
Township School District/Neff Grade Six School - Lancaster, PA, USA

	My heroes, my parents, have done everything they can for my sister
and I. They are my best friends. I can always talk to them. I want to be
honest, caring, and devoted to everything I do. The only way I'll achieve
that is to keep being honest to my friends and family. Also, I will care
for people and always try my best in everything. I'll try to do my best to
be like my parents. Jessica W.  - Manheim Township School District/Neff

	My heroine is Princess Diana. I though she did good charity work
and that she was proper, popular and pretty. I want to be like here because
she had the character traits of a real legend. I will be as polite, caring,
and nice as I can be to be like her. In conclusion, I'd like to note that,
not only was Princess Diana a real lady, she was a compassionate person. I
hope I live up to her expectations. Samantha  - Manheim Township School

	I am my own hero, because I want to be an individual. I don't want
to be a copycat, by copying someone else's actions. Even if they did good
things, I want to come up with my own ideas and do my own things. Amber  -

	My hero is Sara Levin. She has inspired me to play better golf. She
has been offered golf scholarships. I want to get a golf scholarship too. I
also want to play golf as well as her. If I try my best I might be
qualified to be an LPGA golf professional. I will have to work very hard
and long to achieve my goal. I am willing to try my very best to be the
best I can be. I will practice very hard so I can be like my hero, Sara
Levin. Jessica P.  - Manheim Township School District/Neff Grade Six School

	My hero, Princess Diana, inspired me with the great things that she
did with the many charities she represented. When she was alive, she made
the world a great place, and now that she has died it seems darker and not
as kind. She did so many things and helped the world so much. For what she
did do I thank her so much. Darcy  - Manheim Township School District/Neff
Grade Six School - Lancaster, PA, USA

	My hero is my Dad. I want to be like my dad because he works with
computers. He helps to fix the computers that break down at hospitals. If
they don't get fixed, the patients could be charged more for their
hospitalization.

	My hero, Debbie W., showed me that when something is bad, it
doesn't always stay bad. Debbie lost her job (her husband has no job) and
her other job was low-paying. I want to be like her because she put a smile
on her face throughout this difficult time. To achieve my dream of being as
positive and Debbie, I will work hard and keep a smile on my face, no
matter what. In conclusion, what goes up - must come down.

	My hero is Princess Diana because she was kind. She acted like she
wasn't even a princess. She also was the first one in the royal family to
reach out to people with AIDS. I will always remember her. Kristy  -

	My hero, Bill Waterson, inspired me to do great things some day.
Bill Waterson made cartoons about an everyday child. He is my hero because
he takes everyday problems and makes them funny. He makes people laugh and
sometimes it helps parents understand what their child is seeing. I want to
be like him because this might help parents understand their children
better.

	My hero, Michael Jordan, inspires me to do great things someday.
Michael Jordan led the Chicago Bulls game after game to victory. He goes
through every game slamming, shooting, passing and more! But, at one point,
he still hadn't gotten his degree from college. So during a vacation he
went back to college and finished up. To achieve my dream I'll have to
complete college. I will also have to be very good at basketball. I want to
be like Michael because I want to get a college degree and play for the
Chicago Bulls as a pro. I will try my hardest, practice most of my free
time, and do well in college! David B.  - Manheim Township School

	My hero, is my mom. Two days out of the week she goes to a school
and helps teach second-graders. The school is in the middle of the city.
Also, she goes to all my school meetings and finds out things that will
help me in school. I want to be like my mom because she is a loving, kind
person. She does so many things, like run around so we can do what I want
to do. Also, she is very outgoing. My dream is that poverty will disappear.
My mom also thinks that poverty is a big reason children die. I think
poverty will never disappear, but we can decrease it by not wasting food
and clothing. Now you can see why my mom is my hero.

	My hero, Diana Spencer, inspires me to do great things someday. She
gave money to charities and visited the poor. She inspired people to do
good things. I want to be like her because she did a lot of good for many
people. I will do lots of little things and these will add up to something
good. That is why I admire her.

	My hero, Dainus Zubrus, is my hero because he never gives up. He is
a 19-year-old who plays for the Philadelphia Flyers. I want to be like him
because, even though he is the youngest player in the NHL, he is aggressive
enough that he doesn't care who he is playing. He knows that his job is to
get past the defense and help his team score. If I want to be like him I
must work hard and use everything I know.

My hero, Martin Luther King, inspired me to give and do things that he did.
This person has made a lot of contributions. He wanted all people to be
equal. Back when he was living, they wouldn't let black people ride in the
front of the bus. They weren't considered equal. He made a very powerful
speech that all people should be equal. After he made his speech, everybody
was cheering for him. He made a difference in our lives. i want o be like
him because he helped people and made a difference in our lives. To achieve
my dream, I will try to help people when they need help just like he did.
Also, I will try to do things that need to be done that other people don't
do to make a difference.
