The My Hero Project - Neil Armstrong. Neil Armstrong was a pioneer who had these three traits: courage, determination and adventurousness. These qualities are important in an American hero because they make us feel we can do almost anything. One example of his courage is when. Korean War. He used a parachute to escape the crashing plane and landed in a rice field in safe territory. In 1. 96. 2, his only daughter, Karen, died of a brain tumor when she was three years old. He had to have courage then because it was so difficult to have her die at such a young age.
Kristen Bell is perfectly at home crashing The Good Place Feeling remorse about doing wrong isn’t the same as doing right, but it’s a start. Neil Armstrong had to have courage again in 1. On his Gemini mission, the capsule began spinning out of control. He timed hitting the thrusters so the spinning would stop, and he guided the capsule to an emergency splashdown. He saved two lives, his and his crewman's, David Scott. His mother spent a lot of time reading to Neil. When he was in first grade, he had read ninety books, and he could read as well as fifth graders. He skipped second grade. He loved reading and was determined to learn. When he was seven, he took really odd jobs like cutting grass in the graveyard to earn money. He took these odd jobs so he could earn money for flight lessons. Lastly, when Neil returned to Earth after going to the moon, he had to be quarantined for two weeks. Most of the planes even broke the sound barrier! Two of his most exciting adventures were his Gemini 8 mission and moon landing. Gemini 8 conducted the first space docking in history. Neil was the first American man on the moon! I guess Neil is adventurous alright. These traits were important to him because he would not have been as successful as he was without them. He is an American hero because he helped our country catch up with Russia in space exploration. When I see a jet up in the sky, I will always think of Neil Armstrong. Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers, I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends.
