It’s beginning to look like David Price can’t catch a break with the Boston Red Sox. Throughout the past few weeks, he’s been dragged through the mud, as the media criticized his leadership skills in the clubhouse. Unfortunately, the five-time All-Star won’t have the chance to stop the conversation anytime soon, because he’s been placed on the 10-day disabled list with left elbow inflammation. Price originally suffered an elbow injury in spring training, that almost sidelined him for two months.…
Odysseus has shown many traits of being a hero in the epic poem The Odyssey when he finally returns home and returns to his loving wife, but my vision of a hero is just a tad different. My hero is Mike Trout, he is the center fielder for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, and he is my hero because he is a kind, caring, and a great athlete. All traits that make him a hero. Mike Trout has made some genuinely considerate donations to charities such as Feed America and Free the Children, but what really diversifies from any other athlete is that he has done over 150 Make-a-Wish experiences. He had even done one for this kid who lives in Mike Trout’s hometown, Millville, NJ.…
It has been said that hockey is Canada’s sport, and that many legends of the rink had their early beginnings in Canadian towns. One of the finest examples today is Sidney Crosby.

His dedication to his sport makes him one of the best Canadian hockey players to date.…
He is my idol because he is a Canadian hockey player. Another reason is in 1969-1970 he was the first and only defenseman to win an NHL scoring title with 120 points. And finally he won a Stanley cup with Boston in 1969-1970 when he scored the overtime winner in game 4 of the Stanley cup finals against St. Louis…

Who is a hero for you? Many people answer that from superheroes to a war hero because people have different views on heroes. However, heroes are for me people who think of others first before they think of themselves. The best example of heroes is Terry Fox who was a Canadian and marathoner. Even though Terry Fox had his right leg amputated at the knee because of cancer, he tried to run across Canada to raise money for people with cancer, so many Canadian admire him.…
A hero is defined as someone who is admired for great acts or fine qualities. George Washington said, “My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her” (Nguyen). Tonia Pennington is a hero because she has done so much for others and means the world to many people.…
Someone who I admire or think as a hero is Terry Fox. Terry Fox did not have any special powers but he was still very willing to help the people who suffer from cancer. Even with only one leg, Terry decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. This is one reason why I think him as a hero. Also Terry Fox is a hero to me because he was being selfless and brave.…
A hero is like the sun on a rainy day. They might not be seen, but when they are seen people’s day get brighter and a rainbow may form. Most heroes have at least one thing in common, they want to help and better other people’s life or the way they view life. Heroes are respectful and impact others, but they are never arrogant.…

They take problems in the society and make a positive, affective solution. Overall, a hero is an inspiration to men and women everywhere, selfless when helping people in need, and doesn’t do good acts for recognition or…
My Michigan Hero We all have at least one hero. It can be a friend, a family member, or simply a stranger you met on the streets.

Yan Li Cheng, my mother, is my hero because she has taught me that working hard will pay off in the future.…
Everyone has a hero, either it's their mom, dad, family member, or whoever it maybe. A hero to me is someone who drives you to do better and that can be anyone. Beowulf was the anglo- saxon’s hero because he was believed to be the man and the most powerful during his reign, my hero isn’t even a powerful fighter but he as strong and considered a king and that is Lebron James. To me he is a leader, very reliable, and will be unforgettable, and Beowulf and Lebron has a lot of similar traits During the Anglo-saxon period Beowulf was the king of the Geats. “I shall fulfill that purpose,prove myself with a proud deed or meet my death here in the mead-hall."…

Most if not every person has their own hero, whether it be a celebrity, a family member, or some random person who you admire. My hero is someone who means the world to me and that is my mom. My mom is my hero, my idol, my model figure, my everything. I define my mom as a hero because she has provided me with guidance, motherly love, and has always been there for me.…
