My grandmother is my hero because I feel that she puts me in a better world when I know that I have done wrong. I look to her for questions and answers insights and details because she is a good grandmother. The name of her holiday would be "Super Mom". Her festival colors would be pink and green because they are her favorit. The kind of music we would play would be R&B and gospel because thats what she likes. We would celebrate this holiday on her birthday, October the 7th.Ronaeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854329767964741092.post-30367243075270528522011-03-15T11:50:20.719-07:002011-03-15T11:50:20.719-07:00I think a hero is a person who is always there for...I think a hero is a person who is always there for you if there is trouble. My hero are my parents because they are always there for me to always help me. They are always buying me things that I need and they take care for me. They are always looking out for me to make sure I am doing stuff I need to do. They look out for me because I am their child.

It's a person that is willing to take a risk for someone they may or may not know. it's someone who has inspired many many people and helps a lot of people get where they need to be and become who they want to be because they have that motivation. One of my all time heroes Alicia Keys, and she fits my definition of a hero because she is an amazing person. she has accomplished alot and her music is phenomenal. she a role model for a lot of young women and she inspires alot of people to follow their dreams.<br /> <br /> IF there were a holiday to honor Alicia keys id have to say the title would be "the Alicia day". the date would be January 15 which is he birthday of course the music for the holiday would be all all all of her songs and anyone that Alicia keys likes. their would be all kinds of food, grilled fish, chocolate fudge with vanilla ice cream and mangoes. the colors would be pink black and purple. we would have to sing 7 of her best hits and if you don't sing you will have to do something embarrassing. my hero is Alicia keys and id love to consider her a hero.<br />Love,<br />Nyla WebbNylanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854329767964741092.post-21517423866993050872011-01-23T17:29:19.910-08:002011-01-23T17:29:19.910-08:00Dear Tr. lacey,

Second, i also picked my mom because she faught in the war when she was younger. she is a very good mom because she always makes sure that i get a good education and always wants the best for me. she is a very good mom. i am lucky to have both parents in my life because alot of kids dont have what i have.Derricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854329767964741092.post-82680542736309210102011-01-23T07:29:06.931-08:002011-01-23T07:29:06.931-08:00My definition of a hero is someone who is couragou...My definition of a hero is someone who is couragous, willing to help people when they're in trouble.<br />Kenan<br /> My hero is someone who helps me out with all my school projects.

My heros would be my popop and grand mom from my moms side of the family, because they both gave up their families just to be together which shows their own strength in a good way. My popop was Puerto Rican while my grand mom was Polish and their families did not like the idea of those races going out. Because it was during a time when the racism was really strong.<br /> I pick them because they basically gave up there whole life to be with each other. Both of there families were rich and were mean. And both families moved to America and my grand mom and popop met each other and fell in love. And since there families didn't like them two together they left both of them with no money. So the whole point around this is that my grandparents did not approve of racism which makes me happy that they fought for their own rights to be together<br /> Sincerly, <br /> KaylaKaylanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854329767964741092.post-31542116251651965042011-01-22T06:27:26.356-08:002011-01-22T06:27:26.356-08:00A hero is someone who will fight for anyone or any...A hero is someone who will fight for anyone or anything. A person that would try to fix things no matter the conditions. Like superman was a hero because he fought of the bad guys to protect everybody. MLK was a hero because he fought for equal rights for black people. Gandhi fought for independence. But out of all the people in the book, my hero in Mary Slessor.<br /><br />Mary Slessor was originally from Scotland, but went to the slave coast of Africa: Dukes Town. She went the as sort of a messenger from God to spread his word and his glory. But the town was very stubborn. Many people would not listen. But after trying so many times people finally gave in. Mary did so well, the chief gave her the title ‘big Ma’. Everyone in the village was now Christian. One day Mary asked the chief she could go into the jungle, where no other man has gone. But the chief said no, it was too dangerous, because any man that went in there never-came-back. But she begged and pleaded just enough to let the chief let her go. He let her have the finest boat they had, with twenty men to go with her. But during the voyage, the men were scared and asked Mary if they can go back. She said no. She wanted to do these people some good. When she finally got there, it was a big mess. One day two sides were about to go into war, but she got them to stop, right in the middle of it!!! So after trial and tribulation and sickness, Mary finally got the people to convert to Christianity. But because of being sick so many times, God told Mary that it was her time to be with him. So she did, and people had a big funeral, in honor of her. Mary Slessor was one of the greatest female heroes. <br /><br />If I could choose a name for this day it would be called “The Day of Slessor” (Mary Slessor). It would be held December 2nd. There would be any kind of Gospel or Christian music playing. Have a big banner hanging up in the biggest part of your city saying “big Ma”.Janaeha B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854329767964741092.post-75420331142933114802011-01-21T22:56:29.911-08:002011-01-21T22:56:29.911-08:00The word hero to me means to be some one who saves...The word hero to me means to be some one who saves som one from a lot of trouble or helps some one in a big way. Now a super hero is a different story but i'm not gonna go there. The word hero is very strong just like, hate and love. A hero doesn't just have to be a person that writes important or unforgetable history in my opinion. A hero can be a person that probably saves you from losing your wallet because it might of fell of your poket and cases like that. My heros are my mom and dad. My parents are my heros because they helped me understand life better, and kept me in really good care. I love them and even if i get mad at them sometimes, I will never stop loving them.

A hero is a person who is not afraid to do things out of the ordinary to rescue or save people. A hero is being recognized at someone special in history, or for doing a good deed.<br />I would think Janusz Korczak is a big hero in history, and I know for a fact many people don't know about him. I know I didn't. Janusz headed a Jewish orphanage in the ghetto. He wrote a newspaper, worked at a Polish radio station, was the principal of an experimental school and so much more. Around 1939, the Germans occupied Poland, and all staff, children, and Janusz were taken to a German gas chamber. The reason he was a hero was because he had the chance to escape, but he was like a captain going down with his ship. He remained with the children and was put to his death.<br />The title of a holiday honoring Janusz Korczak would be called "The Day of the Brave," because he was a very brave and honest man. The date of the new holiday would be August 5th, which was the day of his death. Every August 5th, we would play no music, because we would give him a moment of respectful silence. It's not a holiday that needs specific foods, but if we had to, we'd have pineapple juice, just because it tastes good. No decorations are needed, but pictures of the orphans that he raised in his orphanage would be nice.Ava Olsennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854329767964741092.post-78873018901109854592011-01-21T12:11:45.181-08:002011-01-21T12:11:45.181-08:00Dear Tr. Lacey,
My definition of a hero is someone...Dear Tr. Lacey,<br />My definition of a hero is someone who risk, and achieves things that people look up to. A hero does what’s right for his or her self, and makes decisions on what do.<br /><br />My hero is the 14th dalai lama, Tenzin Gyato. The reason I chose Tenzin Gyato because he is the leader, the ruler, and the emperor of the Tibetan people. The Chinese believe that Tibet is apart of china and that’s their territory. So the Chinese believed that if they arrest the dalai lama the Tibetans would be at their knees, and thy were correct. But the dalai lama decided to do what was right for his country and left to India for the Tibetans safety. Of course the Chinese are going to still attack Tibet, at least the dalai lama is safe.<br /><br />There is no holiday for the dalai lama I believe, but the Tibetans are Buddhist, are really religious. Most of India’s people are Buddhist as well.Danielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854329767964741092.post-84829713932460429062011-01-21T12:11:19.453-08:002011-01-21T12:11:19.453-08:00My definition of a hero is someone who can give hi...My definition of a hero is someone who can give his/her life and spirit away to make other people happy and safe.My hero is my dad because he very took good care of me and gave me strength to be a good person in real world.How he fits in my definition is that he will give up his life for me to survive so i can live my life.And my other hero is my mom who brings peace and harmony to people who needs it.<br /><br />The title holiday should be "Family Revolution" and the date should be on the day my parents got married,sept 26. The song should be "Uptown","Human Nature",and " Just The Way You Are." The food can be anything except for pigs.Tyreek ^.^noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854329767964741092.post-75080899398699079642011-01-21T12:03:57.456-08:002011-01-21T12:03:57.456-08:00My definition of a hero is that they should always...My definition of a hero is that they should always take care of me and play games with me. They should also be willing to take time off of personal stuff and hang out with me. A good hero should care for me and other people that we know like helping them with work. The I chose was my brother because he always takes good care of me and also plays with like video games or basketball.<br /><br /><br />He also helps me with home work .When I win on a videogame he doesn’t get mad. He just makes me play another game and he’ll beat me in that game. He’s one of the best family member I have. So I would for the family member.

My definition of a hero is someone...Dear Tr. Lacey<br /><br />My definition of a hero is someone who will fain help someone or something in their free time no matter how challenging it might be. A hero is also someone who constantly tries to help how ever they can. Eric Samuel fits my definition of what a hero is because he helps people who are in need of food by selling them at affordable prices. <br /><br />If I was suppose to create a holiday for Eric Samuel I would called it "Good Eats Day". It would be on February 13th and everyone would have a feast with their family and friends. The adults will have to buy at least one person in need a meal so everyone will have a meal that day. <br /><br />At the feast you will eat whatever you choose to eat, and you can listen to whatever music you want. It's like a normal day, except no one will have to deal with hunger. Everyone will go to sleep with a full stomach, kind of like thanksgiving except for the part where you have to feed someone in need of food. <br /><br />From, <br /> AaliyahAaliyahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854329767964741092.post-67604000885739102192011-01-21T04:45:06.049-08:002011-01-21T04:45:06.049-08:00Dear Tr.

My definition of a hero is someon...Dear Tr. Lacey,<br /><br />My definition of a hero is someone who is there for you and someone you can always count on. My hero is my big brother Christopher. I chose him because he's very well respected. He's met many of famous people. For example, he met T.I two years ago at one of his shows in Atlanta, GA. He has a career as a motivational speaker and telemarketer. Me and him share the same birthday which is October 29th. He is married with two sons (Christopher II, Blake).<br /><br /><br />I glad he's my brother because even though he lives in Atlanta he still comes to visit regularly. He is a telemarketer for the business of 5links. And currently has a book called " Execute Your Passion". He's also a great father like my dad. He's been through alot of diversity but no matter what the obsticle he stays positive. Also there really is no specific music or food for his birthday. We celebrate birthdays like any other person would.<br /><br />My brother has a great spirit and is fun to be around. Everytime we go to Atlanta he takes us to Six flags since its less than 5 minutes away from his house. He is also makes alot of money and expands his career everyday. So, I'd like to recognize him by saying he is my hero.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Matthew GaffneyMatthew G.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854329767964741092.post-41419218689481744352011-01-20T18:59:59.200-08:002011-01-20T18:59:59.200-08:00Dear tr.

This woman makes me want to work hard for everything that I have ever had in my life. She is meerly my fencing coach but she is so much more to me. Her concern for her students is motivating and she is one of the strongest people I have ever known. I love being around this woman. She is crazy she is lovely and she is strong. She loves to laugh she’s always laughing. I swear every time I see her there is a blade in her hand and a smile on her face. She is always exited to teach to us and make the best out of every situation. When we hit her with our blade she wants us to do it hard and usually with our beginers they are afraid to hit hard because they are afraid that they will hurt their opponent so my coach says BIG RAINBOW!!! Which makes them bend their blade in such a way that it looks like a semicircle and like a rainbow. <br /><br /> I also love Ms. Cathy because she is a free spirit and excepts other people who share that characteristic. Who aren’t afraid to express their self’s. she always says when you put on your mask they cant see your face so don’t act nice till you shake hands and take it off. She says that I remind her of herself when she was younger. Could just do it. Loved it tried hard and kept on sticking with it. I always felt loved when I enter that jim and we all start fencing. Were a group of bees I think. A family. If one of us goes down we all try our hardest to honor them and either fall down with them. Or take on their defeater. I sat bees because this. When a group of honey bees in counter a wasp and a wasp kills meerly one of the bees the bees gather up into a circle. The wasp can use its stinger but the bees cant because they will all die. So they breathe in very deeply and suffacate the wasp. Ms. Cathy tought us all how do act like that with one another treasure your teammates because you never know when they might just leave. <br /><br /> I love my fencing coach she makes me smile laugh and feel like there is always a rainbow out in the sky. But that’s not why she is my hero. She makes me want it help change things fore the better to help the community and myself to be united like a community a family and more specificly like bees.<br /><br />Best<br />soledadsoledadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854329767964741092.post-79823653573765827312011-01-20T18:41:15.000-08:002011-01-20T18:41:15.000-08:00Dear Tr.

My hero's holiday will be called "Washington's Day" and that day will be on February 22 because that was the day he was born.<br /> The food that people should eat is Turkey and Bread. The colors should be Red, White, and Blue because those are the colors of the American Flag.

She inspired me that if you believe in something, its never impossible if you give it your all.<br /><br />If they chose me to make a holiday, my holiday would be named National Senior Citizen Day. The date of my holiday will be March 10th. Songs for my holiday will be some oldies. The colors for my holiday will be blue,red, and green.milesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854329767964741092.post-75827077573495706932011-01-20T17:25:58.032-08:002011-01-20T17:25:58.032-08:00A hero is someone you can tell all your secerts to...A hero is someone you can tell all your secerts too and that will always have your side no matter what.<br />Like my Big Sister Peggy she is someone that i became more close too she help me through my rough times.<br />So my hero is Mommy because she help me through my rough times and i would not here right now.And thats is my hero.monae saidnoreply@blogger.com
