feeling you can get. John Wooden can exemplify what should be done very well‚ “Athletes should be good role models‚ but not heroes. A role model is someone those who love you would want you to be like. A hero is just someone the general public holds up to acclaim.

I’m eleven years old‚ sitting in my room‚ reading a book and entering a scary world in the future. I meet a girl‚ Katniss Everdeen. From that moment‚ I knew she was my hero. To most people a hero is a person who fights villains‚ saves the day‚ and gets to ride off into the sunset. I disagree‚ I believe a hero is someone willing to put others before themselves‚ brave enough to do something even when they are scared‚ and lastly someone who stands up for what they believe in.
