Have you ever seen someone having a heart attack? Well, my dad has and he saves people from them. Some people might think it’s gross, looking at someone’s heart, but I think that’s wrong. A lot of people might think it’s scary, but it’s worth saving someone’s life. My hero is my dad, Edward Chafizadeh.

Edward Chafizadeh was born in New York City, on November 15th. He went to Yale College for his undergraduate studies when he was 17 years old. At the end of his time at Yale, he had made the decision to go to medical school so that he could help patients who had heart problems. He chose this profession because it was a challenge and challenges were what motivated him. After that, he went to Baylor Medical School where he trained to become a cardiologist. He has worked to help people live a longer life as a cardiologist for almost 20 years now.

One thing my hero has inspired me to do is to be a Cardiologist just like him. I admire Edward Chafizadeh because he is my father. He is my hero because he saves lives and I want to save lives too. He also is my hero because I love him. I hope he saves lots more people in life and teaches people about medical help.

I am so grateful to have a loving and kind father. He is truly amazing! He has saved many lives and helps people with heart problems live a longer life. Edward Chafizadeh is my hero, as well as my dad.
