Changing Lives - Heros

Cristiano Ronaldo

Everybody has a hero, someone who has helped them, taught them, raised them, or inspired them. Someone that they look up to. Heros could be anybody, mine just happens to be Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo is my biggest role model! He has inspired me to chase your dreams and never give up no matter how many critics show up on your pathway, or how many bumps in the road you stumble upon. When Ronaldo was 15, he had to get heart surgery, but this didn’t stop him one small bit. He let this be an opportunity to try even harder. Thats exactly like me, because I have OCD, it has been a bump in the road, but I fight hard through it and get back up even stronger than before. Ronaldo’s success and victories have made me believe that anything can happen if you want it more than you want anything else.

But Ronaldo hasn’t only helped me though, Cristiano helps change many peoples lives around the world. First of all, Cristiano refuses to get tattoos just because it will prevent him to donate blood. Very often Ronaldo donates blood when he the choice to get tattoos, but he sacrifices himself to help others. But that is only one of the many amazing things he does to help people.
Another thing Ronaldo did was dedicate his victory to Gustav, a 3 year old victim of Leukemia who was in great need of a bone marrow transplant. Afterwards, Ronaldo launched an appeal for bone marrow donation. Thirdly, Ronaldo donate his award he earned in 2011 to the Real Madrid foundation, which helps Palestine children in Gaza. The Real Madrid Foundation has helped build 167 schools in 66 different countries.

These are just a few reasons why Cristiano Ronaldo is my idol, and howe he has helped my life and many others too!
