With the help of his wife Sugihara wrote and signed thousands of visas. This is why Sempo Sugihara is one of many worldwide heroes.
A Hero To Me
A hero to me is when someone has helped another person. They don’t have to save someone’s life but they need to have an impact on others. You shouldn't laugh at a person just because of who their hero is. Shockingly, to most of people they think my hero is a weird choice. My hero is my older sister. No why, because she has always been there for me. Most people look up to their parents but I look up to my sister. Surprisingly she is still my hero even when she decided to go live with her real mom I still looked up to her. So when you decide to laugh at that one person who looks up to their parents, siblings or relatives think do you look up to the same person? So don’t pick your hero because you think your friends are going to laugh at you. Pick that person because they have had an impact on your life.
