	2003: Mom. How do you define hero? Many people have different definitions, but my definition of hero is one word, Mom. Helping when things are happy and when things are sad. She is always there. First of all, my mom is caring. Though sometimes we get in disagreements, we always get through. When I'm hurt she helps any way she can. When I have something to do, she always helps. Also my mom is a hard worker. She does her job well, and gets things done when they need to be done. She is never late, and she never gives up. She is also out going. She is always smiling on stage, like it's the happiest day of her life. She is brave, going to different places she has never been before. Being caring, a hard worker, and out going, I would consider her a hero. >>Read about Family Heroes Top of Page

	June, 2003: My brother. My brother is in the Air Force and is about to go overseas. We just found out that his wife of 3 years (who was also in the military) is pregnant. She is due in 5 months but my brother will still be away. I think he is a brave guy who is loved by many! He risks his life for the good and well-being of our country. He IS my hero! And I love him SO much! Top of Page
	May, 2003: Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay are my heroes. On May 29, 1953, they were the first people to reach the highest point on earth -- the summit of Mt. Everest. Hillary was a New Zealand beekeeper, and Norgay was a Napalese Sherpa. My goal is to climb Mt. Everest. It is both challenging and exciting to think of standing at the top of the world. Top of Page
