Hero Project Reflection

To me a hero becomes a hero by the way they are with others, how they put their self before others and treat others like they would like to be treated also how they inspire more then one person. For example the reason why my mom is my hero because I really don’t know how I would be with out her, she has a huge impact on me. And she is also my hero because I never met someone that been threw so much and still stayed strong like she did, and because she tells people her mistake and helps hem try not to do the same.

The Hero in My Eyes project was a project for us to choose one person in our life that we taught was a hero. We couldn’t just say “Oh my mom is my hero,” and not have a reason behind it. We had to have a good reason why that person was our hero, and we also had to choose one moment with that person that made them a hero. The reason for that is because in our writings we were only talking about one moment but we had to make sure by the end of our story it told us why that person is your hero.

The whole week that the class had to work on this I wasn’t here because I was sick, and that did effect me because I wasn’t able to get other peoples perspective on my writing. That also put me behind because I was so caught up on doing my other stuff that it put me behind a little bit. Now knowing how that effected my grade I know next time I should try hard to meet the requirements. Because even though it was late I still got half credit but my grade could have went up if I just turned it in.

This project also made me realize more on how good of a mom she is. Like when I interviewed her I learned some new stuff that I didn’t know which made me thinking of her as an even stronger women. A big challenge with me for this project was choosing one moment. Like I couldn’t really just think of one moment that my mom did something, she does it everyday. And another challenge was that I wanted to say so much more about my mom but I knew I just had to talk about a few things my mom does. I think this was a good project, I wouldn’t really say I would want to change something about it. But just on my part to try harder even though I was absent I should have been able to turn in my stuff on time. The way this would help me later is because I used a little bit more sensory detail so that’s a sign that my writing is improving. And that going to help me for more writings that I am going to do in my future.

I would say I used wonder. The reason for that is because when I was writing and interviewing my mom and stuff I would wonder to my self why my mom would do this, why would she do that. What if she never did this how would I be. So it made me wonder a lot. And also when I was writing I would wonder what I should put in my writing since I had so much. So those are the ways that I used wonder in this project.
