Modern Day Heros

My hero is my dad, David Alan Jones. He has inspired and encouraged me to do many things in my life, like just doing my best at everything. That is one thing my dad always expects me to do. He always says, "If you do your best, I can't expect any more out of you." Dad is very understanding and will listen to what you say. He is opinionated and is not afraid to speak his mind, but I admire him for that. My dad is also very brave. He's been in the National Guard for as long as I can remember. When I was in 3rd grade, he went to Iraq and didn't come back until the next year. Dad has taught me about working hard for what you want. That is an important thing in my family.
