Who is your hero and why?

A hero is not just a person who saves lives; a hero can be anyone; a parent, a survivor or any inspirational figure. Children Times’ Martin Bishop asked a few kids about their heroes. My mom is my hero because she is always working. She works hard to make sure I get nice things. Butare SabbiitiI have two heroes, one is my neighbour - she helps me cross the road and takes me to school. The other is President Paul Kagame because he loves young children. Gloria UweraI look up to President Barack Obama because he is the first black president of the United States of America and also President Paul Kagame. They are my heroes because they love the people they lead and their families.Heinze RuremeshaMy hero is Doctor Alex Nkurikiye because he saved my life after I was involved an accident.
