I was born in a hospital on February 16th in 2042. When the doctors received me from my mother the doctors noticed that I wasn't breathing so they rushed me into another room and performed CPR on me.

Luckily, I started breathing and the doctors said it was a miracle because I was dead for a few minutes. Every since then my mother has been real cautious about me and my everyday lifestyle.

I live in a city of imagination where you can be whatever you want but that doesn't mean people aren't gonna doubt you're dreams or hate you for it. Take me for example I've been pushed around, stepped on, and talked about yeah I get tired of it but I don't have the courage to fight back.

My mother told me "If you want to become a hero you have to be brave and fearless" sadly I didn't come with those attributes. When I walk through this city I feel like I don't belong because it's like everyone has a heroic trait.

Even my friend "bridget" is better at being a hero than me. She's the one who's been protecting me from the school bullies for so long that she's gotten used to it she told me to look at her as "my own personal hero".

Thing is I never wanted it to be like that I wanted to be the one to protect her from danger but I never had it in me to stand up and fight. I was always running away because I was scared and hopeless of fighting for what's right.

In this city of imagination there's a school where heroes go to train and fight criminals I currently go to that school named "Alexander N. Highschool" where heroes are born and sent off to fight.

My grades academically sucked I didn't have great intelligence and i don't even know if I have a super power I tried everything but it seems like I don't have one at all. So I gave up the dream of becoming a hero but my heart knew I felt different.

So this place of imagination will determine if I become a hero or a coward who stands for nothing.
