It Helps to be a hero!

This is a presentation about how it helps to be a hero. In our presentation we learned about heros and role models. We also have looked at at their goals and how they have became stars today. Then we had to pick a person who is our Role model and someone we look up to. My Role model I picked was my Nan and Maria Tutaia. Then on the very last side we had to write a letter to them. There will be information of them of why I picked them as my role model. Hope you enjoy my presenattion. Please leave a comment.
