A hero is someone you admire, but don't necessarily want to be like. A role model is someone you respect and want to emulate. A hero is a man or woman admired for his achievements and noble qualities. One that shows great courage. A role model is someone who behaves properly in all aspects of his or her life. Someone who would be a good example to his peers, his children, or younger people. A role model is someone worthy of imitation.

My hero is Terry Fox.

I chose him to be my hero because it represents bravery and courage. He is considered one of the greatest Canadian hero for his fight against cancer and despite his artificial leg he participated in a marathon.

He affects my life because despite his artificial leg he participated in a marathon for research against cancer.

“I know that you can do the impossible,” “Somewere the hurting must stop.” “Some people can't figure out what I'm doing. It's not a walk-hop, it's not a trot, it's running, or as close as I can get to running, and it's harder than doing it on two legs. It makes me mad when people call this a walk. If I was walking it wouldn't be anything.”

If i could interview Terry Fox, I would ask him the difficulty of the marathon he has traveled with a artificial leg and how he is perceived by those around him. CORENTIN


 * Heroes are more courageous and reckless than role models because heroes have impact on us, in our memories and in the time. The qualities of a hero as opposed to a role model are to be brave, recklessness and to be strong as physically as mentally. **


 * My hero is Nelson Mandela.[[image:globalproj/nelson-mandela2.jpg width="152" height="164"]] **


 * I chose him to be my hero because he’s a man who did many things for South Africa and the racism generally. **


 * He affects my life because he’s stayed in minds of many people and I think he’s a great man. **


 * Famous books written by Nelson Mandela are : -The illustrated long walk to freedom **
 * -No easy walk to freedom; -South and Southern Africa into the next Century; -Favorite African folktales; -Conversations with myself (His last book) **


 * If I could interview Nelson Mandela, I would ask his imprisonment and his conditions of imprisonment and his conflicts. ** Valentine

**Heroes it's like superman or spierdman, they save lives and they have a super powers. They are not part of reality. Role models someone copied it, we dress the same, we did the same thing, we try to be like him, it's a person you want to look like, be like him.**

My hero is Shaun White, it's an American snowboarder and skateboarder but is also a role models for me.

Because I am a snowboarder and is a model for me because he is very talented, I try to replicate what he did in snowboard

He affect my life in snowaboard.

He didn't write a books and he have not a famous quotes but he created the video games in snowboarding and skabording. Very good games for Wii, Nintendo DS, Ps3, xbox, PSP.

I ask him how he became the best in snowboard, where does he get his motivation, I ask him many questions, I was asked if he is afraid of getting hurt or where does this great talent for snowboarding and skateboarding. I have many thing to ask.Morgane.

Heroes have an important impact on people's life, Each of them can have powers but each don't need it, role models are just people whom everyone want to look like because they are famous, pretty, nice or rich... The qualities of a hero as opposed to a role models are that heroes are most courageous, brave, fearless...They don't care about people think about them. They just want help thos who need some help. Heroes affect our lives because they are not afraid to risk their life to save anothe one and role models affect our lives because they seem perfect.

My role model is Demetria Devonne Lovato, Demi Lovato.

I chose her to be my role model because she's my favourite singer and actress. I think her voice fabulous and she plays verry wel her roles in her films. She's the most beautiful young artist and she's relly funny, nice and generous. Althought she's a singer and an actress, she continues her studies ans I think it's extraordinary,

She affects my life because I listen her voice everyday. She gives me the need to sin all the time, to dance everywhere, to laugh, to have fun... She's most than a role model for me!!!

She has not written any books but she writes her songs!!

I would ask her, what job she wanted to do when she was child and her future projects. Marion

The difference is that a hero keeps his identity secret, however a model would be a person who inspires you something also hero usually has powers that no one has instead a more realistic model has features and more attainable for all. They motivate us to do things beyond our reach and be more competitive.

My role model is my father because he has had a very hard childhood, however he hasbeen able to get ahead with my family and always he gives me good tips. My dad always helped me throughout and I will be grateful.

//Marilyn Monroe//

//My role model is Marilyn Monroe. I chose her, because I love music, fashion, photography and cinema, and I think she is the typical symbol of all these things. She was a great actress and the most famous actress in Hollywood. She sang a lot of songs like a ``I Wanna Be In Loved By You´´ and ``Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend´´ and she created a fashion style, with her blond hair and her white dress. She was a face of many magazines in her time.//

//She affects my life because she is an inspiration in my hobbies and she is an inspiration in my favourite’s works. She had a style in all these aspects. When we think in old American’s cinema, we remember Marylin Monroe like a superstar.// //She acted in fimls like a: ``Bus Stop´´,``//// The Misfits´´, ``Cleopatra´´,etc // //If Marilyn Monroe stays alive, I will ask her how to be a superstar and all about cinema. I will ask her what the real fame in Hollywood is. I will ask her about make-up and fashion advices. Maybe we will have a nice and long conversation in the Empire state building.// //I think the differences between heroes and role models are that the heroes are persons who save lives. In other hand, the role models are examples to continue your ideas of your life.// //Heroes always save people in dangerous or terrible situation, like a Martin Luther King. He wanted to save black people of discrimination in United States. But a role model is an example for you live style, like Madonna. She has a special method to do their things with music.// //Happy Birthday for the president:// []

I see the difference between a hero and a role model is that the characteristics of a model are more realistic, are more to our reach and because they like our style. And heroes are characteristics that impress us and we like but do not always identify with them.

The qualities of your hero or role model make you motivated to do something you were not completely committed to making.

The qualities of a hero are qualities that impress us more and are more difficult to achieve.

My role model is cristiano ronaldo because it is a person who has had a difficult childhood but has struggled to achieve his dream, he was playing football and finally succeeded. This person motivates me to fight for my dreams. If I had before me the first question he would do as he did to never give up.

** FRIDA KAHLO ** What are the differences between heroes and role models? // I think that a hero was a normal person that gets an achievement, and then he becomes famous. But a role model, I see it like a person who you knows personally and admire, but he isn't famous. // How do they affect our lives? // They don't affect our lives more than a reference to live, because every life is different, and everyone is entitled, first, because a hero it's a non-known person and second, because a role model it's only a model, then I try how to act. //

Who is your hero or role model? // My hero is Frida Kahlo. // Why did you choose her to be your hero? // Because it was a woman so fighter and strong. She also created a personal, naïve, rebel and deeply metaphorical art. // How does she affect your life? // The only one that affect my life is the role model, because I know him and it's a important person in my life. // How does she affect your life? // She doesn't affect my life in anything, because it was a women that I admire, but I have to live my own life. // Famous quotes written by your hero. // “They thought I was a Surrealist, but I wasn't. I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality.” // // “Feet, what do I need them for // // If I have wings to fly.” // // “I am not sick. I am broken. But I am happy to be alive as long as I can paint.” // What would you ask your hero if you could interview her? // “What is love?”. // Add a picture of your hero.

Role models and heroes play an important part in all of our lives. As a boy, my heroes wore colorful outfits and fought bad guys and aliens whose sole purpose was to destroy civilization and rule the world, not caring who they hurt in the process. Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, The X-Men, these were my heroes. But I also had certain adults in my life who guided me and took care of me - my parents, my older sister, teachers, and coaches - and earned my admiration and respect.
 * MR. HARTMAN, MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER**

As I grew older, my opinions changed, and as I was introduced to a variety of historical figures - George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein, Don "Mr. Wizard" Herbert - I gained new heroes and role models, whose ideals I still strive to uphold til this very day. During my time in college, while pursuing my Master's degree, I came across the life of Geoffrey Canada, through his book //Fist, Stick, Knife, Gun//. Growing up in the South Bronx, during the 50s, with a single mother to guide him, Geoffrey fought to prove himself, eventually attending Harvard University, and, eventually, opened and ran the Harlem Children's Zone in the 1990s.

Geoffrey Canada's passion and dedication have always inspired me to be the BEST teacher I can. Geoffrey Canada is a real life superhero. He has devoted his life to state education and to raising standards for learning.

**__ My Role Model __**  By Eleni F.

Every person has had a role model in their life. Whether from their parents to an emerging movie star, every person has had someone to look up to. Someone to try and imitate, somebody who shows them how to live. In my case, my role model is my grandmother. I chose her because of her wonderful personality. My grandma is not the average grandmother- that is; she gets up at five in the morning to swim and works at a job while she is in her mid-seventies. However, the thing that I most admire about her is her kindness and selflessness, as well as a sense of perseverance. She always is thinking about others, especially family and friends. She is also determined to move and exercise, even though it must be difficult. I also admire the fact that wherever she goes, she has friends who adore her. I need to learn that skill, to make friends and not get them upset. Though my grandmother is not well known, she is truly a role model for me, and I strive to be as kind, determined, and disciplined as her.

My Hero By Halee S

There are many important people in my life you could call them hero’s but there is one very important hero in my life her name is Alexa Bebe, my dance teacher. This woman has pushed me so hard to be the best I can be and got me to where I am now, to go to competitions all around California. She is also a very kind and considerate person and cares for every one even the kids on the dance team. For instance, there is this girl on my team who has a brain tumor and she was in the hospital for a long time. Alexa’s old studio where she used to dance was having a nonprofit competition where they gave scholarship money for whoever won, so Alexa tried her hardest to get all the other teachers to dance with her. She danced her heart out for Rosin and they ended up winning the competition. So when Rosin had to go back in the hospital Alexa used the scholarship money to pay for Rosin’s operation and that just completely melted my heart. She has inspired me so much and she has been an amazing teacher and a great friend.

**__My Role Model__** By: Gianna B. A role model is someone who you look up to, someone who inspires you. This person for me is Misty May Treanor. Misty May is a professional beach volleyball player who has been in the summer Olympics since 2009. She plays with her partner Kerri Walsh and previously has won a gold medal. Misty May inspires me because during the 2012 summer Olympics, she was almost positive that she wouldn’t be playing in the Olympics and has retired. But a couple weeks before the deadline, she signed up for her country and for one last shot at the gold. She shows me that if you push yourself, you can achieve the impossible. Also, she inspires me to never give up. She is a role model for lots of people around the world.

**Role Model** A role model to me is someone to sets examples for others, leads the way and is never a follower. My role model is my mom. She always inspires me to do my best because I know that if I ever fail at something my mom is always there to support me. I look up to my mom because she always sets a good example for me. She always tells me what is right and wrong. My mom can help me through any situation that I need help with. She is the most loving, caring, generous, and nicest mom that I know. I just hope that when I grow up I can be half as good as the mother that she is today. I love my mother and I would never trade her for another mother in the whole world.

**__My Role Model__** **__By: Rebecca Morrow__** A role model is someone looked to by others as an example to be imitated. Everyone has a role model and mine is my mom. My mom is a survivor and had a harsh childhood. At the age of twelve she discovered she had a severe disease that might not be curable. She pushed through and has overcome it. My mom doesn’t feel good some of the time but she still has a smile on her face and acts happy all the time. My mom helps me to try my best and never give up. She has showed me that anything is possible and pushed me to strive for the best. She is supportive, encouraging, and a loving mother. I couldn’t ask for anything more of her. She brought me onto this planet and gave me the gift of life. She is the best and most supportive mom that I will always look up to.

My role model natalia n.  Everyone has a role model; one of my role model is my mom. Why did I choose her, because she encourages me to do stuff that I have never done before. She affects my life because she always is nice, loving and encouraging to my brother and me. My mom was the youngest of 4 children. Being the youngest was hard but also good because, she made sure that we had the best childhood we can ever have. She never gave up on her hopes for having 2 children. She had a hard time because when she was giving birth to my brother and she had a heart attack twice. That’s why I choose her as my hero

My Role Model by Tess R My role model is keiloni Wright on my cheer team. Keiloni is the funniest, sweetest most amazing athlete! She has so many great skills and I look up to her for being the amazing person she is. Keiloni and I met last year when she was practicing at my gym. After next year’s tryouts we got on the same team and she has inspired me ever since. She helps me reach my skills and I encourage her when she is trying to get new tumbling. Keiloni is my base and catches me if I fall every time. Keiloni is always there for me and I’m so glad were so close.

My Role Model by Alyssa A.

Heroes are not just celebrities, or athletes. They can be average people that you see on the street. A lot of the deeds people do have been unseen and unheard. If I had to choose a remodel it would be my mom. My mom does not just do good deeds; she helps people and makes everything fair. My mom has volunteered at the Harvest Food Drive. She spent countless hours handing out flyers, picking up food, and volunteering her time. She is very kind, loving, and the best mom ever. I love her and she is so amazing.

My Hero By Hanna B Heroes aren’t only people who are on T.V. every day or get awards. They can just be people living normal lives. The person I look up to in life is my mom. My mom always teaches me to do the right thing. Almost every weekend we work at a place called the Ark of San Juan. The foundation adopts animals out that are going to be killed. We save them and then adopt them to other people who will actually take care of them. My mom always thinks of others before herself.

Heroes and Role Models By: A.J. Takata Everyone knows about superheroes: Superman, Spiderman, Batman, The Hulk, The Flash and so on. However, just because a hero doesn’t have superpowers doesn’t mean they are meaningless or worthless. For me, my father is my hero. From his sarcastic jokes, to volunteering countless hours to the school, to being that parent that will stay up past 2:00 AM to help me on my homework or projects, he is the greastest. He is loving and kind, and he usually pushes himself beyond his limits to achieve a goal. Not only that, but his hardworking attitude is contagious, and it strives me to work hard, even under the stress of a social life, homework, science fair, AR reading, and study island. Finally, he is honest and direct, and he always does his best to help //me// become as great as he is!

My Role Model by: Chad C My role model is my lacrosse coach. He inspires me to do better every day. Whenever I am having an off day he says you are doing fine and keep your head up. He gives me tips on how to better and encourages me every day. Whenever I let a goal in he says you are doing fine and keep going. Brad is my club lacrosse team coach.

**My Role Model** **By: Alex Williams** The person in my life that inspires me the most is my mother. She is the most helpful person I know. Every day she helps me with my work and helps me with my projects. She inspires me because she always thinks about other people and not for herself. She also takes care of anyone if they need something. That is why my mom inspires me the most of all the people I know.

My Perfect Role Model By: Adam Gohr

My dad is the perfect role model. The first thing that makes my dad so special is the things that he does for me, and the amount of time that he spends with me. This is one of the most important parts of the things that really make a dad important to someone else. There are a plethora of things that my dad does for me, but the most important things that he does for me, or at least what I think are the most important things that he does for me are how every day he takes me to school, then back home once school ends, then to one of the practices for the various sports that I play, then back home for the second time with me, and that is just part of his very long day. The next thing that he does for me and my entire family is going to work, so we can get money to live in a house, and eat three meals a day. The final thing that he does for me is being a coach on most of the teams that I play on, so every day when I have practices, he takes his own time to come to my practices, and help me become a better all-around sports player. One of the other things that make my life better is the amount of time that my dad spends with me every single day when he comes home from work. The one thing that I think about when I come home from school is, “What will my dad ask me to do when I walk into the house?”, and every day when I come home, he always finds a way to make me happy, and also something to do. And that is just one of the very many reasons that make my dad is the perfect role model to me.

Someone Inspiring By Chance I am inspired by a lot of people, but there is one person who I aspire to be the most. My cousin Kevin was in the military and fought for our country, not oil. He faced many hardships in Afghanistan, including his best friend being killed by an Improvised Explosive Device (otherwise known as an IED, or a roadside bomb). He had push through this and other things such as burying the remains of people killed in an explosion, spending time away from his family, and the horrors of war. There were good things as well, such as meeting new friends amongst the locals and his fellow soldiers. We sent him care packages from time to time, and in second grade my class wrote letters to him. In second grade, while he was on leave, he visited our class and showed let us try on his vest and helmet. Currently he is no longer in the military, with a wife and child, but he is still a hero to all of us.

__My Hero__ By: Andrew S.

My role model is my grandfather. My grandfather is truly something, kind, loving, forgiving, humorous, and great in every way. Born during pre-WWII, he started his first job when he was 10, later volunteering for the navy during World War II. Afterwards, he worked to support his family while taking night classes in college until he got his PhD. He then worked for several important pharmaceutical companies, such as Alcon and Roche, making some chemical compounds which are used today. I always think of him highly, for his extensive knowledge is something that every child should want. My grandfather loves me with all his heart, makes sure to make me happy, tries hard to help me, and makes my life wonderful. I love him for so many reasons, but when they all add up, they make one awesome grandfather.

My Role Model Gavin Aitken Role models are people that inspire you. They make you keep going when you want to quit, and they give you hope in the darkest of times. My role model is my mother. My mother had everything that could have gone wrong happen, and yet she still came out with a successful life and she is a great mother to me. She was born with ADHD, and her parents divorced when she was a teenager. She was deeply affected by this and her grades quickly fell, getting her expelled from college. However, when she saw how sad her mother and my grandmother became, she immediately decided to straighten out her life. She went to a different college, went to law school, became a lawyer, and had a prosperous career. She retired when I was born so she could look after me, and I am immensely grateful towards her. She will always be my hero no matter what. That is why she is my role model.

**__ My Role Model __**

**__ By Micah __**

There is a long list of people who I think are great and inspire me. But Honestly I think my younger brother Kai is a role model and inspirational to me. My little brother always cares the best for everyone and he helps out in any way he can. My brother always tries to do what’s right and he inspires me to do a lot of the stuff that I do today. He helps out his friends and family and even people he doesn’t know. He always does everything he can to help others. I look up to him and he is definitely a great role model.
