Everyday Hero

Getting through rough patches in life and accomplishing goals that many others can't, can make anyone a hero. Many things can make someone a hero in the eyes of others. Growing up, I didn't really have it so hard. I always had good times with my family but I was really only close to my moms side of the family. My dads side of the family always judged me because I was so different then their kids. My parents raised me the way they thought would be better for me. I was taught my rights from wrongs just like everyone else but I expressed my feelings in different ways, like dying my hair different colors, getting piercings and being out and about. My dads brother raised four girls and they were not allowed to hang out with me because I didn't have the same beliefs and he thought I was a bad influence on his daughters. My uncle always thought that I was up to no good because my parents gave me so much freedom and he thought that I was going to get knocked up in high school and drop out. It would make me sad but if anything more mad knowing that he thought of me like that but after a while I just told myself "You know what, I might do things differently then they do, but I am not going to let him get to me". What my uncle and his wife didn't know was that I was, and still am, very gregarious, facetious, inane, and dexterous. I learn things very quickly and I am very creative in many ways. Like everyone else I have made my mistakes in the past and I have learned from them. He was shocked to find out that I graduated high school with good grades and without getting knocked up.  He was even more shocked knowing that I registered into college to major in Human Services to become a P.O. I am going to continue proving him and everyone who doubted me wrong. Never will I ever let anyone who has talked down on me get to me because they don't know me and they don't know what I am capable of.
