Improved Essays
What Makes A Hero A Hero? My hero is Kennedy Rowland and she has made a big impact on my life. She is my best friend and without her I do not know if I could have made it through some of the situations in my life. She may not be a superhero, or a hero to everyone else, but to me she is. Having a best friend like her means everything to me. She always knows what to say when I am down, and that is what everybody needs. A hero does not mean they have to save lives, it also means someone who can help with your problems and be there for you.Kennedy being my bestfriend is what makes her my hero. In Kennedy's interview I asked her “do you follow your heart or your head more?” she answered, “my heart more because following my heart helps me more …show more content…
I disagree because a friend is important and can go through a hard phase in your life and will be there for you. A friend can know more about you than anybody else and will know your biggest fears, your past, your mistakes. Kennedy is that person, she knows me better than anybody and will not judge my decisions. In my interview I asked “ if you had to choice, who would your best friend be?” she said “ you because you are always there for me”. We have a special friendship that I hope never breaks. We will be there for each other as long as we are friends. Kennedy shows a lot of love for others who do not give her the same back. She cares too much about what others think of her. She puts others before herself and tries to make them happy when she is not even happy with herself. I asked her “would you care about someone if they don’t do the same?” she said “no because I want the same.” She does not realize she does it but she puts others before herself. She is a caring person , with a big heart. In conclusion. Kennedy is my hero in many different ways. She is my best friend and helps me with a lot of my problems and struggles I go through, weather it is in school, relationships, and even family problems. Having her as a best friend is important to me because I always know I have someone who is always going to be there for me. Whenever I need someone to talk to she is always there. That is why I picked Kennedy to be my
