My Heroes

Growing up, I've always looked up to many people, many of them althletes. However, the only people i consider my heroes are my father and my mother. The reason they are my heroes is because of everything they have done so much for my family and me. From the beginning, my father was the provider for those in my household. He would take any job that was available just so we could have a bite to eat everyday. You could tell that it wasnt easy for him because when he would come home from work he would be dirty and worn down. Yet, he still woke up everymorning to go on and do the same thing all over again, that is until he got injured in a soccer game about 4 years ago. Ever since that day he could not go back to work because his injury is still there. Even though his injury hurts him greatly at times, he still finds a way to earn money. From helping a friend with something to catering for quinceneras and weddings. He wasnt the only one that had to change his ways due to his injury. My mother was a stay at home mom but she had to change that and get two jobs just so we could make it through the day. My mother worked from 6 in the morning to about 10 at night. Sometimes i didn't get to see her for three consecutive days because she worked so much. Then she got a promotion in her first job and so she quit her second one. These past four years have been extrmely diffucult for them, yet they still haven't given up. I can easily tell you what the characteristics my hero would need to have. My hero would be determined, hard working, must have endurance, and they never quit no matter what obstacles or challanges a put before them. There is no doubt that my parents have these characteristics.
