What do you think a hero is like? Maybe you think he is handsome, rich or very smart. But I think heroes are around us, a hero is a person who always helps others. My hero is Uncle Bill. He was a poor worker twenty years ago, but he never gave up. And now he is a successful businessman.
When Uncle Bill was young, he was good at neither writing nor maths, In fact, he never did well at school. He had to stop school and began to work in a factory. He worked hard and gave all his money to help his parents. When he was older, he found that he was very interested in fixing things. He collected broken things which people threw away and fixed them into good ones.
In fact, he could fix almost everything that didn't work. He worked hard and never gave up. Finally, he opened his own repair shop. It took him about 15 years to become a successful shopkeeper.
Now, he is very rich and has another four shops. But Uncle Bill never forgets the days when he had nothing. He gives money to poor families, gives poor kids books to read and offers them free lunch. He also encourages people to reuse things.
He always says, "Make good use of what you have because we have one earth."
I'm proud of him. He is really a hero.
