Hero Blog

     A personal hero of mine is my grandpa. He battled cancer for  months, before he passed away. Although the cancer was terminal, he never quit. He knew that he wanted to fight as long as he could, and he did just that. My family was able to spend more time with him due to his strength and determination. When I face an obstacle that seems impossible, I often think of my grandpa's battle and how hard he fought even though he knew it would most likely be a losing effort.
     Superman is also a hero, but in a different way. He protected people and fought for them. He always found a way to save the citizens of the town, even if it meant he might not make it out alive. Superman battled many villains such as Lex Luther. Lex knew Superman's weakness, but Superman had to be courageous and fight to protect the city.
     Pat Tillman is a man who I also consider one of my heroes. I obviously did not know him personally, but he gave his life for a cause that he believed in. I believe that if people who had an option to make millions of dollars playing in the NFL, or risk their lives on the front line of a battle field, a majority would choose the NFL. However Pat Tillman sacrificed a career that he had strived and worked for his entire life, so that he could fight for his nation and defend his people. I am forever greatful and forever admire the sacrifice made by Tillman, and all soldiers.
