Who's My Hero?

When most people think of a hero, they think of a person that will help them, or even save their life. They probably think that a hero has to be someone that is super strong, or that can fly. When I think of a hero, I don’t think of someone that would save my life. I think of someone that lives by the same values I do and a person that makes the world a better place. That is why a hero in my life is Bill Gates. He is a billionare. But, he didn’t become a billionare because he inherited the money, or won the money. He worked very hard throughout his life to get to where he is today. I value hard work. I believe that it’s not right to get anything you want without hard work. Bill Gates is rich, but he doesn’t keep all his money to himself. His charity with his wife is one of the most successful charities in the world. He uses his money not on himself, but he shares it with the world by helping out global healthcare and poverty, and also expand on educational opportunities in the U.S. Bill Gates is a hard working, generous man, and a great role model for kids. I would love to be just as hard working and generous as Bill Gates.
