Cristina should write an essay about her hero. Read the text she wrote and say why her sister is her hero.

   

    My hero is my elder sister, Carolina She’s a beautiful, inspiring, and extremely brave young girl. Every day is a small victory for her. What amazes me most is that Carolina never gives up. She has achieved so many things by working hard. My family is very proud of her. I can say that she’s the example I follow.

    There is something that makes me sad. Quite often, when we go out, people stare at her, some even say rude words. This makes me unhappy, but my sister just holds my hand and smiles.

   My sister is special. She is a person with special needs. She walks and talks with difficulty. A few years ago she couldn’t even walk at all. She worked so hard to just walk. As she gets tired very quickly, she still needs her wheelchair to move.

      Unfortunately, my sister didn’t go to kindergarten. As she couldn’t walk very well, my parents thought that she should get home-schooling. But her teacher told my parents that my sister should go to school. She believed that Carolina could learn even better with other kids. My parents followed the advice and never regretted it.

  She has achieved so many things. But her biggest achievement is that she has made friends. Her classmates treated her as their equal from the very start. She felt she was part of their group. This is what I call inclusion. They see each other quite often. They sometimes go out, they study together, and they help each other. I think that their support also contributed to my sister’s success at school.

    Now my sister has started a campaign. She fights for the rights of special needs kids like her. She fights for inclusion as every child deserves to receive education and have the same rights as the other kids. Everyone should be treated equally.
