I have always admired Andrew McMahon from the band Jack's Mannequin. He persevered through an intense battle with cancer all while devoting as much time as he could to his band. Even though he was on chemo therapy which drained his energy, he would be devoted by writing songs and tried to inspire other people to fight their own battles with cancer. He was incredibly strong and hoped others would be just as strong with their own battles. Andrew has now long recovered. He sponsors a Leukemia walk that travels all around the country called Light the Night. Every year I join his team and walk with the fifty plus other teams.
A Literary Hero:
Batman is another hero that I admire. When he is fighting the Joker in Gotham, his strategies are very cunning and he is always determined to defeat the Joker. Although he does not have any super human powers, Batman is still capable of similar tasks such as those of Superman or Spiderman. No matter what, his first priority is always to the people in his city. These people can always count on this Hometown Hero to be there for them when the Joker is terrorizing their city. In my opinion, and if Batman was a real person of course, he would be one of the top contenders of people that can be called an average day hero.
A Personal Hero:
My cousin Lauren has always been a role model of mine. She has gone through many difficult situations in her life. When she was a Senior in High School, due to other family matters, she had to drop out. Yet she got a job immediately and saved enough money up to get her GED. Then, she continued saving as much as she could so she could at least go to the college nearest to her. Now it is almost five years later and she is getting married in two months and also has an adorable baby boy. Her life may not have gone according to plan, or how others expect it to, but she stuck with it and was always positive. Everyday, Lauren reminds me that there are many ways to happiness and to obtain my goals and I should do my best to reach them.
cool interview.
