My Hero
My hero is my uncle Ramon Martin Huerta. He is my hero because he was actually govenor of Guanajuato in Mexico and he always felt that it was important to help those who needed it. He would give jobs to those who did not have jobs. He would try to accomidate them to whatever they were good at doing. When the Christmas season came he would get many trucks full of toys and then give it to the kids in need. His personal story is a "Rag to Riches Story" because his father died when he was just a little boy. He paid for his own education and he worked very hard each day so that he would be able to provide for his family because he had five other siblings. This relates to the things that we have stuided about heroes because the heroes in "Real Life Super Heroes" try to help the poor people who live on the streets by providing them with personal necessities. And they also try to fight crime by defending the citizens. These two stories relate to one another because they both try to help the poor people by giving them a bit of happiness with simple things. And both of them get really happy when they help the people in need. They ask for nothing in return and them helping those in need does make them Heroes. I look up to my uncle and that's why he's my hero. Unfortunatly, he died in a helicopter crash seven years ago with seven other people aboard. But, he is still a great example of a hero. The only difference is that he didn't fight crime physically but he had to fight against druglord violence so that he could end that in Mexico. He died doing what he liked to do and that was finding new ways to help people.

ReplyDeletei enjoyed reading more information about your uncle, i remember you first told me about this in eighth grade, the way you can really tell your uncle's legacy has lived on, is that the story of what he did is being retold, this post is just proof of it and i'm sure many people still remember his devotion to help everyone.
