Assignment number 2

My personal hero is Will McKenzie, ever since my freshman year I have looked up to him as a mentor and as some to strive to be like in my high school career. The first time I met Will was my freshman year when he and A.J. Yorio took me to see the movie Jumper. Ever since then I saw him as funny, smart, and talented inthe ways of life. This semester I am in study hall with Will and I couldn't be happier. He once told me the story about when he was in sixth grade when he saved the life of a girl who he didn't even know. He was riding his bike when the chain popped of his bike next to a girl he had never seen before. This girl was lying on the ground, she had fallen off the scooter and hit her head on the pavement. Will rushed over to the girl and picked her up and put her on her bike, and it turns out she lived over a mile away. Will fixed the chain on his bike, cutting his hand in the process, and rode the girl to her Sherwood Forest home. When he arrived at her house he banged on the door, but her parents were not home, so he went to the neighbors house and they took her to the hospital. Will never knew the girls name and he never saw her again. That is just one of Wills many stories of heroics that makes Will McKenzie my personal hero.
