Since childhood, I have acquired a number of heroes in my life depending on their role in my life.
My first heroes were my parents who brought me up and ensured I had everything I needed. Moreover, being career people, they served as a source of motivation for the person I wanted to become in the future.
The second hero was my first teacher who laid the foundation of education in my life. Hence, helping me hold a pencil maker and teaching me how to write my name are priceless lessons. In essence, these two heroes played a significant role in my childhood life and helped me in my first level of enlightenment.
While becoming a teenager and a young adult, there have been several more heroes who have shaped my life.
The third hero is Gabrielle Union, an African American woman who has fought against all odds to become successful in life. After having read her story, Union served as a source of my inspiration. Therefore, I also believe that I can become whatever I set my mind to in life.
The fourth hero in my life is Steve Jobs who, despite dropping out of school, worked hard to create Apple Inc. – one of the most successful companies in the world. He made me believe that I do not need to follow a certain path to become successful as long as I know what I want and work hard to achieve my goal.
Finally, the fifth hero in my life is Barack Obama. Essentially, I consider him proof of the saying that nothing is impossible. Obama has become the first African American president, an aspect that was considered a dream by most citizens of the United States.
All these heroes serve as beacons of hope, a source of inspiration, and motivation as I go through life.
