Courage & Honesty

Courage and bravery are two qualities that I believe are important for a hero. Loyalty, good judgment, and honesty are qualities that, to me, are important for a leader. My uncle Ruben is a hero in my life, because he was courageous and brave when he fought in Iraq. He had strength to fight in the face of fear and danger. The leader in my life would be my brother because he has the traits of a leader. He's honest and he knows how to judge things for the best outcome.

---Abraham Lincoln was a good leader because he was loyal and he helped free the slaves.



--The Little Engine That Could would be considered a hero to me because he gave children courage to do what they didn't believe they could.

Fearfulness

 I am absolutely scared of some kind of insect being something in my covers on my bed. Just picture being asleep under your sheets and feel something crawling up your leg. My mom tells me if I don't make my bed in the morning when I wake up they will build a nest under my bedspread so every morning I get up and immediately make my bed. Fires, earthquakes, tsunamis, and every natural disaster you can think of happening all around the world, because that is what I think of when I hear "End of the world." I am so scared of the end of the world because all the people dying, the families and the animals is just hear-breaking to think of. I am also scared to lose anyone I love and care for. The people in my life make me who I am now and without them I don't know where I would go.

Q-tip means Quality Tip. Natalie means "Christmas Day" often the people in Italy say "Bon Natalia" meaning "Merry Christmas!" Nicole means "Victory to the people." My mom named me after a Mexican/English singer named Natalie Nicole Alvarado. Hamburger is weird because there is not any ham in a hamburger. Hot dog is also strange because it doesn't pertain to a dog in any way. The word dam also is strange because you don't think of it holding water you think someone being damned to hell.
