My hero is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. He goes by Lil Wayne. Little Wayne was born on September 27, 1982 in New Orleans, LA. His dad left when he was little. Lil Wayne just calls this other rapper, Birdman, his dad because he has always been there for him. Birdman adopted him and he also has an adopted brother named Lil Chuckie, he also sings. He sees his mom and her name is Jocita Carter. He makes songs about her. Lil Wayne has only one kid; it’s a girl, Reginae.

Lil Wayne is a hero to me because he was a straight-A student but he never really felt his intelligence was good enough on any report card of his. The best way to express his feelings or himself is writing songs, and that’s how he found music. Lil Wayne got himself a strong work aggressive self-promotion by having good habits and good skills in songs; he was only 11 years old when he convinced the Cash Money label of the title of the CD.

Lil Wayne best fits our class definition of a hero because he has good skills and he is creative by writing songs about his feelings. He depends on himself not other people. Performers and producers come to him and give Lil Wayne opinions and options of how to do his music videos. Performers that sing they love to be in music videos with him. Lil Wayne tries new types of music for other people to listen to, he just doesn’t do R&B he also does Rock because he wants people to listen to what he does and see what he can do.

Lil Wayne has a connection to Greek Heroes and to King Arthur because he is trying to make something of his life and be somebody in life, not just a regular person that just does every day things. In relation to Greek Heroes they have strength and fight for their powers and Lil Wayne believes in music and writing songs about himself and his family. Even though he doesn’t fight for his powers he fights for himself and writing songs. In relation to King Arthur, he proves that he can be king and does what he is told. Lil Wayne proves that he can do things and makes it bigger than life by writing songs and singing.

This is why Lil Wayne is my hero to me because he is original to me and pretty cool. He believes in who he is and if you try hard then you can do all the things you want. He also stands up and tells his feelings and I think that’s cool because most people don’t usually write songs about themselves or people that mean something to them. People usually write things to make them look cool and they usually don’t get anywhere in life. If you just write about anything and everything. That’s why I look up to Lil Wayne as my hero because he has some similarities like me.
