 Abraham
Lincoln is my hero. He
was the greatest president because he kept our country
together during a difficult period in American history.
Without his great leadership and strong determination,
the United States may have been a divided country.

Enrique Iglesias.
His
music has inspired me, and helped me through difficult
times in my life. He came from a different country,
yet is one of the biggest selling pop artists in
America. That shows much dedication on his part,
and it encourages me not to give up. He is my hero.

Picabo
Street. She
has been a role model of mine ever since I first
saw her ski (1989), and I've been following her
ever since. Because of Picabo's strong will and
determination, I have decided to pursue my skiing
career as well. Even though I have gone through
several hardships, I know that the road to success
will hold many obstacles, and I am determined to
overcome them. Hopefully, at the end of the road,
my hero will be waiting. Some day...

 Alan
Shepard is my hero. He was the first American in
space. What an accomplishment! Then after all the
hard work and training to be an astronaut, he was
grounded from flying because of an ear disorder.
However, this did not discourage him. He continued
to work hard and was determined to fly again. And
then, he was restored to full flight status. In
1971, Alan Shepard became the fifth person to walk
on the moon. Alan Shepard is in elite company because
only 12 people have ever walked on the moon.

 William
Shakespeare is an amazing writer.
I have read most of Shakespeare's plays, and they
are each very interesting. His stories are so powerful
that we are still reading and performing them. I
really enjoy Hamlet. It is the most challenging
and most rewarding story I have read.

Paul
Revere. His midnight ride on April 18, 1775,
played a significant part in America's independence
by warning the colonialists about the approaching
British Army. Without his warning, who knows what
would have happened at Lexington and Concord and
who knows how the Revolutionary War would have turned
out? -- Joe from Boston, Massachusetts.

 My
hero is Robert E. Lee. He
is the greatest Civil War General, and he is related
to me. He commanded the Southern Armies in the Civil
War. He freed his slaves before the Civil War started
because he thought slavery was wrong. He chose to
fight for the Confederate Army because he did not
want to fight against his home state, Virginia.
My hero is R. E. Lee.
 My
hero is Ulysses S. Grant. He
was decent and moral. He had courage. He saved the
Union. He was also a nice man.

My
daughter's second grade teacher is my hero.
She is nice, helpful, and patient with her students.
She treats every student with respect and gives
them individual attention in their studies. My daughter
has learned a lot in the short time she has spent
with her teacher, and she will use this knowledge
throughout her life.
