Hero Journal

My hero is Michael Oher. He is the main character in The Blind Side. He is a real person. The movie was based on his true story. He lived in the Ghetto and had a pretty bad life. A nice lady names Mrs. Tuohy let him in to her home and enrolled him in school. He worked really hard on his grades and never gave up on working his hardest. He got worked to get good grades in school so that he could play football in the NFL.

He graduated with a GPA of 2.52 raised from a 0.6 GPA. He went to college at The University of Mississippi. After college, he was picked to play for the Baltimore Ravens. He switched between right tackle and left tackle in his 2009 season, but was a left tackle permanently for the 2010 season.

I really respect him because he came from nothing, to living the dream. He worked hard and was determined to become an NFL football player. He took responsibility of his schoolwork and  came out with a passing GPA. He lived in the moment to prepare himself for the future.
