My Heroes

You know, in every person’s life there are people they look up to, value, and also love — their heroes. I have such people in my life too, and they are my father and mother. Yes, you read that right: my parents are my heroes.

You may ask how. I don’t really know myself, but whenever someone asks me, “Who are your heroes?”, they are the first people who come to my mind.

In general, everyone in my family — my grandfather, grandmother, parents, and my younger sister — are my heroes. Why? Because I take them as role models, I learn from them, and I try to act like them, but I do not repeat their mistakes (everyone who breathes makes mistakes).

You might think, “Are only your family members your heroes?” My answer is no. Because every person I am interested in, every person whose information I collect and carefully write down in my notebook — all of them are my HEROES!
