Word taught me equality

워드는 내게 평등을 가르쳐 주었죠

 

 

Hines Ward was the most valuable player of Super Bowl 40.

Hines Ward Was born in Seoul to a Korea mother and an African-American father.

After his success in the Super Bowl games, Hines returned to his birth place.

He wanted to talk about racism in korea.

 

When I first saw him on television, I was impressed by his confidence.

He was proud of who he was and what he accomplished.

Hines did not seem embarrassed that he had interaicl parents.

Still, Hines cried when he described

how difficult it was for him growing up.

 

On his final day in korea,

Hines donated 1 million US dollars to create the Hines Ward Helping Hands Foundation.His foundation was set up to help multiracial children.

 

I really respect Hines Ward.

He could have been angry at the people who teased him.

But instead, he wanted to help others not go through what he had to.

 

 

Hines really showed us that it is not important

what color you are or what nationality you are.

You are important because of who you are and what you do.

Each person, no matter where they are from,

can make a big diffrence in the world.

 

Hines Ward also taught me that prejudice is a poison.

No one is above another human being.

All of us are made equal.

And all of us should have the same opportunities in life.

Then it is up to each of us to make good use of our lives.

 

I admire Hines Ward as an athlete.

But I respect him more as a person.

I am going to do my best to follow his example.
