Hero? By:Lindsay

Hero?

Have you ever thought about your hero? A hero is someone that you look up to because of qualities and achievements. A hero can be a female or a male although a female is called a heroine.Colin Powell is my hero. He is my hero because he's done many things in his life that are amazing but one thing I admire the most is that he's the type of man that is willling to give up anything and do anything to reach his goal. I would love to be able to do that. Another thing about Colin Powell is that when he was a small boy he lived in New York City and was very poor and now he is at the Presidents right hand as Secretary of State. I certainly could not do that. Colin Powell did many things but I think it's amazing knowing the way he was when he was younger and where he is now.

Hello Lindsay,

I really like what you wrote about Colin Powell. He sure did work and persevere. He still does. He models how important it is to have goals and work hard to achieve them.

I will miss all of you today but look forward to seeing you next week. Keep up the good work. Make today your very best writing!

Hi Lindsay,

When I saw that Colin Powell was one of your heroes, I just had to comment. I have watched Mr. Powell give many speeches on television and he is always clear, eloquent and thoughtful. He also is very active in the volunteer movement. He especially likes to attract young people to find out what they can do to help people at an early age so that they can continue to help society as they grow older. The next time Colin Powell speaks out about the President's war policy, I will be paying very close attention and I hope you will too. Colin Powell is one of our President's most clear headed and thoughtful Cabinet members. The next time I listen you him, I will write you and we can discuss what he said.
