Welcome, English 84 Heroes!!

What makes a hero?  Is it Lebron James or Jay Z because they are ultra talented?  Is it Walt Disney or Steve Jobs because they had a vision? Or, is it more about courage and tenacity?  

Beth Johnson said everyday heroes are the ones that "have stood to the challenges of life and said, 'You will not defeat me.  I will overcome.'" 

This is your blog page for English 84 6122 students.  Your first blog is your own story about being an everyday hero.  Just like the book, you will be telling your story of why you are an everyday hero.  Your entry must be at least 300 words and include a picture of yourself.  Talk about your struggles, what you did (or are doing) in order to overcome your struggles, and what the "next step" is.  Be specific and make the readers see and feel your story.  

Make sure that your sentences are grammatically correct and include at least 4 new vocabulary words from our workbook. You must underline the vocabulary words on your post. 

Yes, you are an everyday hero.
