I believe a hero is a follower and a leader. They learn from others on how to be the best person that they can be. Then when they grow up, they try their best to improve our world for others, and not just themselves. They try to set the example for other people, and to get them to follow **//their//** lead. They try to get others to do as they do, and then the world will become a completely better place. Even if it’s just a little thing, it means a lot to someone, somewhere. They do this thing without looking for some kind of compensation for what they do, but to make something better out of the goodness of their heart.

I know for a fact that have have followed and led people throughout my life. I have done much following in my life of people like my parents and grandfather, but most importantly, my dream. I have led a lot of people as well. When I created my automobile companies, a lot of people had to be led and taught what to do since a gas-powered automobile was a new object on the market. This created a window of new jobs for people who needed them, and you didn't need expertise, since it was brand new.I was led by my father who taught me how to be a great man, and he gave me a pocketwatch. The pocketwatch may not sound like much, but it was the reason I became interested in mechanics. My father and his father also invented many helpful tools for the farm that I was born in raised on, so it also was important in putting our world where it is today. I set a standard for the rest of the world when I invented the first gas-powered automobile. Everyone was competing to make the best car, and still have it sell the most. When I founded my automobile company, I wasn't looking to just make money. The idea of making my customers very happy made me feel squirrely. I was looking to make it easier for everyone to get around, and to make everybody happy. Sure, I got paid a lot, but I made sure it was fair. I raised the wages of my workers. They were making ten dollars a day which to most companies was very startling.

I think that I should be considered the greatest 19th century American hero. I was very important in all of the events leading to the present day. I changed the way people think, and I helped make transportation much easier for everyone around the globe. Without my invention of the gas-powered engine, for all we know, you people could be riding horses still. I made it possible for people to take vacations in a lot less time than by horse, and I made commuting to school and work that could be far away possible. I am sure that my invention may have taken some lives, most was because of misuse, but it has also saved lives, like if there was a doctor going to the emergency room for someone dying or an ambulance picking up an injured person to bring them to help. Imagine what the world would be like without the gas-powered automobile. My invention has made many people happy, and the world a better place. Some advice I will give you is go after what you want, because I say that," There is no man living that can not do more than he thinks he can." Don't let anything keep you from doing what you want, because going for what you dream of doing is the greatest thing that you can do, and you will be able to look back and say that you did whta you've always wanted to. This will set an example on future generations to come. You may not be a neurosurgeon or do something as life-altering as what I did, but as long as you go for your dreams, that's all that matters. When I sold my first automobile it was much more expensive and of lower quality then I had wanted. I wanted my dream to come true, so I fixed it and made it better for the customer's moneysworth. Make sure that you try as hard as you know you can, and even if you do not get that dream, you will have the satisfaction of knowing you did your best and had no regrets.
