* Who is your personal hero and why?
"My grandparents are my heroes. They have taught me how to treat people with respect and care for others, unconditionally. They always seem to be helping out. They usually don't teach us by lecturing, but rather through their actions, and sometimes by telling us stories of their life experiences. I truly respect their wisdom. Because of their positive influence, I plan to choose a career where I can be of service to many and also be a good role model. My grandparents have shown me what success and happiness is. I hope to be like them one day. "
