J1 Billy Black

Most people would agree that a hero is someone who has performed something extraordinary and astonishing deeds, far beyond the capabilities of the average person. A hero to me is simply someone I can look up to and go to whenever I need them; a hero is a role model. My hero is my cousin, Billy Black. Billy has always been there for me whenever I needed him, whether it would be at two in the morning or five in the evening, he’s there. All my family lived in Buffalo at one point, most eventually moved to North Carolina as time went on. In my opinion, it seems like families aren’t nearly as close as they should be, my family lives over five-hundred miles away from me and we’ve never been closer. Billy and I don’t see each other a lot, a couple times a year; if that. The thing about Billy and I is we pick up right where we left us the last time we saw each other. Billy may make fun of me and embarrass me but I’d never want him to change.  Billy and I have a lot in common; we’re both really sarcastic and never let anything go. As I was looking into colleges to go to, Billy told me to consider coming down south and going to school for a couple years; he even offered for me to live with him. Billy is insanely protective, more protective than my Dad could ever be. Billy constantly goes and looks at my Facebook and if he see’s something he doesn’t like, he will gladly make it known. Speaking of Facebook, girls between the ages of ten to twenty will constantly add him on Facebook when they don’t know him... Cute.  I look up to Billy more than anyone else. Billy is the type of person who’s never gotten in trouble like most kids today; he’s responsible, knows what he wants and goes for it. Billy is currently in MMA fighting, at the end of summer he had a fight and it was the scariest thing I’ve ever witnessed.  Anyways, like I said, Billy lives over five hundred miles away but I know if I called him this second and said I needed him, he would be here in a heartbeat.  In conclusion, I could never imagine losing Billy. It’s hard to find people that you can trust with everything and lead you in the right direction when you’re struggling but Billy has never failed at doing so, this is what makes Billy Black my hero.
