Jennifer and Mark Rochner

by Tye from Peach Tree

...I believe there's a hero in all of us who keep us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride...

A hero is a person, not who saves someone from a fire, don’t get me wrong that is a hero too. But a hero is a person who takes care of you when you’re sick, helps you when you need help or cares for you when you need care. That is a true hero .My parents are my heroes because of the reasons that I have listed above.

My mom was born in May. She was adopted as a child and raised in California by Robert and Charlotte Burket. She moved to Arkansas in 7th grade. She married Mark in 1991. Then I was born on April 21, 1994. Then 4 1/2 years later Annie was born. In the June of 2001 we moved to Georgia. Mark was born in April. He lived in Arkansas until June of 01’.

My parents are real heroes because they’re kind, loving, and caring. A lot of people don’t realize how awesome they are. They do a lot for you. They do your laundry; they even wash your soccer socks, which are pretty nasty. They even find time to do extra things. That’s why they’re heroes!
