Why a Hero to Me?
Jackie Robinson is a hero to me strictly because he embodies the words courage and unselfishness. He had the courage to ignore the insults and other acts of racism that he met throughout his baseball career. He was a total selfless person, who was thinking of an entire race, not of himself. He was admired by millions of people of many races for his talent, but also more for his character. His goals in life were to better the lives of others, especially minorities.
