My name is Ruskin Splinter and I was born to be a hero. My parents never  encourage me. They think i

am too small and skinny but no that is not true. A hero does not need muscles a hero does not need powers a hero can just be a normal person like me. I believed from that very first day that i was born in Lizard Street that i could be a hero. I believed in myself to tame Crindlecrax and i done it. Being a hero is not as easy as as i thought it would be. It is a big responsibility and i took it and now lizard street is very proud of me. Even though Corky is dead still he is the biggest hero of lizard street. Even though he it doesnt matter. Corkey believed in himself and he became a hero and it doesnt matter what age you are you can still be a hero. Like me i took the responsability

and i did not not need muscles i did not need super powers i just the powers

of a normal and simple human being. Heroes have to take care of themselves and other people and i took care of myself taming crindlecrax and i took care of Elvis. Everybody can be a hero.

This was my speech about a hero.
