My Three Heroes

My three heroes are, my grandpa, my mom, and Mia Hamm. First off, my grandpa taugt me so much about life and to follow my dreams, no matter how big they were. Grandpa was the go getter in the family. He was always the one who did things no matter what people thought of him. And that trait I learned from him. He was constantly reassuring me on any probelems, or negative thoughts I had. He also taught me to see the good in people. No matter how hard it might be to judge, or have a negative comment about someone or something, he would always say, "Ahh, Katie, remember what I told you..". He was the type of man who was always believing, never giving up what his little motto to everyone, and to "Never say never". Those are the qualities I am greatful to say I have inherited from him. He will always be a constant reminder of how happy and fulfilling life should be.
My second hero is my mother. She is a woman who has gone through so much in herlifetime that she has taught me that no matter how hard life can get, never stop believeing. She is a strong, caring woman, who loves all that surround her, and never quits. She is the reason I am who I am today. Teaching me the proper etiquette for a lady, and, "If you start something, you have to finish it." She taught me to keep going, never stopping to question myself, but if I do have questions, ask. Its never bad to ask a question is another thing she taught me. To not be afraid to ask, even if it might sound like a silly question, ask it. My mother has pushed me to be the young woman I am today, and I greatly appreciate her for always believeing in me.
The third hero of mine is Mia Hamm. Mia Hamm played for the US Womens Soccer team, and Is a strong and willing woman. She is always fighting for what she wants, no matter if it be fighting to get the ball from another team, or fighting for more girls soccer leagues in America. She is a hard working lady, that knows her way aruond tough situations. She is a strong believer in women's rights, and getting more girls playing soccer is a beig deal to her. I think Mia Hamm is my hero in ways that she doesnt stop once she gets motivated, and she is forever thinking outside the box. She is a constant reminder of how women in Americas eye should act.
