My Hero
What does it mean to be a hero？I think a hero is someone who goes out of his way to make others happy．My hero is Mr．Wright，my chorus（合唱队） teacher．
When I was 12years old，my grandparents passed away．I was really close to them，and losing them was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to ____1____ through．I couldn’t eat，sleep，or think； I felt like I couldn’t even breathe．It was as if my whole world had fallen down from under me，and I ____2____ into this huge hole of depression（抑郁）．
____3____ I was battling depression，I was determined to make my high school years the best of my life．It was difficult to be ____4____，but I had to try．I joined Women’s Choir．Mr．Wright was the choral director and he was so funny that the first day，I just knew I had made the best ____5____ of my life．
As the year progressed，I loved chorus more and more．I began to smile again and really enjoy ____6____．
Then one day that all changed．My friends﹣or those that I thought were my friends﹣started talking about me behind my back．I was ____7____，and I sat by myself．Mr．Wright came over and asked what was wrong．The look in his eyes told me that I could____8____ him．Trying hard to ____9____ back tears，I told him the whole story．
When I finished，he nodded and told me，“If you never learn anything from me，learn this：No one is worth ____10____ your joy．”What Mr．Wright said really ____11____ a chord （心弦） in my heart．He____12____ cared about me and what was going on．I’ll never be able to thank him enough，because he not only saved me but has ____13____ every day of it since．Any time I feel like giving ____14____，I remember Mr．Wright’s words and push forward．
I’m proud to say that I____15____ my depression，and I’m now a senior．I’m still a ____16____ of chorus，and now I’m also in the best choir at my school．
Mr．Wright is a hero ____17____ everyone he meets．He cares about every single person who walks through his door，and he loves what he does more than any other teacher I’ve known．That’s ____18____ he deserves to be Educator of the Year．He deserves the ____19____ not just this year but every year．
I’m glad I had the opportunity to meet you，Mr．Wright．You are an ____20____ teacher，and I hope you realize that．You’re my hero．
