__ **Why have I have chosen Dr. Andrew McKee?** __ I have chosen my dad because he saves lives by doing his everyday job and he wants to help people live and have a ordinary life. I have also chosen my dad because he loves his job and has worked very hard to get where he is. He has shown me that if you work hard and you believe in yourself you can get anywhere you want to be.  __**What are the qualities of the hero?**__ I think the qualities of a hero are that they always want to be part of helping and they never give up. They all show that if you believe in yourself you will do what ever you want to do in life. They give you a good example and that is what keeps you going.
