ReplyDeleteHeroes can be both made or born, but in Jeremy Lin’s case he was born. One example is how brave he is. Bravery is one of the examples of Jeremy being born a hero because he could have gone to a college that’s more known for their sports to try get to the NBA, but instead he went to Harvard and still continued chasing his dreams. Another example is his outstanding achievement. He has a great value of outstanding achievement because he was the California state player, went to Harvard, plays for the NBA, and now is the only Asian American in the NBA league. He has achieved a lot in his life already, as if he was born to only succeed. The third example of Jeremy Lin being born a hero is his Nobility. Anyone can be noble but Jeremy is much nobler then anyone I have ever seen, he is the best player on the Knicks and the reason why they win. That’s shows Jeremy being noble because he still doesn’t act like he is a really great player, even though he’s probably proud of himself he doesn’t show it off to everyone.
