* Who is your personal hero and why? "Although he is not perfect, my dad has always been my hero. He persistently tells me to do the right thing and sets a good example for how I should be living my life. My dad has sacrificed a lot for me and for others by serving to our needs instead of his own. He is the hardest working person I know and gives me motivation to be the same. To me, my dad is everything a father and hero should be. I love my dad for always being there when I need him."
