Every Day Hero

I am an everyday hero because their have being many struggles in my life but I still believe I can go above and beyond those struggles and accomplish my goals. One reason why I believe I am an everyday hero is because I do sporadic decisions that are sometimes great but maybe at the end they are not so great. I’m not a person who is so ostentatious and shows off in front of everyone. I have one of my siblings that look up to me. He now sees me going to school and he says he wants to be someone when he grows up. He has in his mind that he one day will grow up and need a good career in his future. Yes, sometimes I feel a lot of lethargy and don’t feel like doing anything, but I think about him and remember I have to do my best because he is looking up to me. Sometimes I do inadvertent mistakes, but I try to fix them. For example, coming back to college has changed my life completely. I never thought I would make it to where I am now. I was going through so many things I just believed it was impossible to get to where I am now. My grandmother passed away when I was first going to attend college. I was supposed to make a decision. I was between taking care of my siblings or going to school because my dad went away for some time. I had no one to support me financially with any help that I would need. I decided to go into an institutional college and became a dental assistant. There I believed I was an everyday hero. I helped kids overcome their fear of being at a dental office and seating on a chair. I believed in myself again. I worked in the same non-profit organization for 2 years. Now I am in college following my dream goal of becoming a dental hygienist to continue being a great example and an everyday hero.
