My definition of hero is; someone you admire and look up to, someone you can trust and, someone who would never back down. That hero is Obama! He’s a hero because he never backs down. He not only believes in himself, but he has faith in himself which is important to all of us, because we don’t want a president who dosen’t believe that they can take over the U.S. Obama is our fist African-American President, that proves a lot, because most people thought Obama would never make it, and others thought he would. He proved half the world wrong, because anyone can do anything, you just have to believe in yourself. I was pretty surprised when he was elected, because i thought about the others who didn’t support Obama, would that bring him down? No, it didn’t harm him one bit. He didn’t care about their opinnion, because he knew it didn’t matter. He just moved on with his plans on keeping our Country safe. The oast didn’t bother him ethier, the fact that African-American back then weren’t even allowed to vote until the 1860-1870’s, nor even run for president, but Obama knew that was history, and that the past was the past. I thought he was very brave and showed a lot of courage, and that is why Obama’s my hero :]
