Paul Rowe Ideal Hero
I am writing to request that you chose Paul Rowe as a recipient of an “Unsung Hero Award”. As a student of Mr. Rowe I look to him for inspiration and as someone I can trust. As a Music Education teacher, professional trumpet player, and conductor, Mr. Rowe shows leadership as well as an inspiration to others. No matter what the circumstance is, he always finds a way to push forward. Mr. Rowe is a symbol of an ideal hero.

To start off with, Mr. Rowe struggled at a young age. With the mom working two jobs, he would have to wash his own clothes and start doing things by himself. Later on, he would end up being a DCI (Drum Corps Associates) champion. One of Mr. Rowe's role models is Robert Smith and Manny Ferguson. Robert Smith was the first core

    Some have asked why hakes a hero and why does the US Military only award a Soldier the Medal of Honor after he or she has made the greatest sacrifice. Sergeant first class Smith knowingly put himself into danger to save his Soldiers. A good leader like him would not tell his Soldier to do anything he would not do himself. As a leader in the U.S. Army, leaders should always put your Soldiers well-being before your own. Many of Sergeant First Class Smith’s actions would make others say he was a hero, and not because he had earned the highest medal for valor, the U.S. Military has. He was a good man. Sergeant first class would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. According to Vic Krepacki “SFC Paul Ray Smith was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor April 4, 2003. Smith was killed while saving numerous American Soldiers ' lives during Operation Iraqi Freedom. RDECOM commemorated Smith 's honor and valor by naming the STTC facility after him.” The reason Sergeant First Class Smith is a hero because; whether he is in Iraq or back in the U.S.A. he puts his Soldiers before himself.…

    It is a pleasure to nominate Dave Giles for the "Most Outstanding Person" award. He is a former alumni of Carl Sandburg College. My first impression of Dave came in 2012 when he gave hands-down the best speech on the importance of education that I had ever heard. He truly enjoys spending his time helping the community's youth. He has also continued to live up to that impression of being a passionate man who is optimistic, supporting, and is as committed to children as he is to bettering our society.…

    Keating’s left-wing political beliefs stemmed from his pro-Labor, Catholic, working-class family background. Having left school at 15 after completing his Leaving Certificate, Keating went to work, studied electrical engineering at night, and joined his father in supporting the Labor party. Through his political interests, Keating met former controversial state Labor party leader, Jack Lang who took the impressionable Keating under his wing. Having successfully won the local Labor Party’s pre-selection in 1968, Keating was now ready for the election campaign of 1969. Influenced by President Kennedy’s campaigning style, Keating’s youth and energy proved a winning combination, and he became the youngest member of the new federal parliament (in opposition, as the Liberals won the election.)…
