745 Words3 Pages

There are some people that I can’t imagine living life without. I can’t live life without my friends from school, my blood family, or my dogs. Though I cannot live without any of the entities I just listed, there is someone that I know, this person is special. This person has left a big impact on my life, and his name is Jody. I remember when me, my mom, my sister, and Jody would go to Culvers every week that I was with my mom. Many heros don’t wear capes, metal suits, or exterior underwear. A hero can be defined in many ways, but truly a hero is just someone with special attributes that not many people have. My Michigan hero is my mom’s ex boyfriend Jody, because he taught me to be kind in a special way, he would do anything for me, and my family, and he has a special bond with dogs. …show more content…

Whenever me, and my sister would fight, he would completely ignore what the fight was about, and he would try to tell us to kill each other with kindness. This shows how little he cared about petty fights, and how much he cared about kindness. He would never tell me or my sister to be nice with the guilt of hypocrisy.

I have known Jody for 3 years, and I have only seen him in one serious fight, and it was because a man killed our cat intentionally. It is amazing how nice Jody was, niceness is such a great quality for a person to

Another example is when he laughs with the bus on the Larry Dunn joke at Rufus; he is willing to fix his relationship.

According to dictionary.com, a hero is a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievement or noble qualities.

To me, a hero is someone who is admirable and does good things but isn't perfect.
