My Hero

My hero is Lionel Messi. He is a hero to me because he is a leader and a role model, he put others before himself, and he was determined and he never gave up. Growing up Messi had a growth hormone deficiency (disease) at the age of eleven. A growth hormone deficiency is when the growing hormones don’t work properly, so Messi never got taller in size. It took a lot of money to cure, and his family was very poor so they needed help. He went to local clubs and wanted an exchange, he will be on the team if that team gives him treatment. He didn’t get any offers from local teams, but then he got an offer from FC Barcelona. He went from Argentina to Spain for treatment and then started his blossoming career as a soccer player.
