* Who is your personal hero and why?
"My personal heroes are my parents. They have built me upon a strong foundation of good morals, values and beliefs. They have pushed me and taught me that I am stronger than I think I am. My parents have taught me the value of hard work, and that I can become anything I want to as long as I put my heart into it. Because of their own hard work, unconditional love and constant support in all that I do, they have helped me become the person I am today."
