In your life, have you ever watched a superhero on television and thought of someone in your family? Well this might sound corny but I have and every time I would see Superman I would always think of my uncle. This is because my uncle was a lot like Superman but in the end he was only human.
             My uncle's name was Steven E. L. or "Uncle Steve". From the time I was a little baby I was always my uncle's favorite. Let me tell you a little about him, he was born in Harlingen, Texas on October 27, 1975. All through his life he was in and out of jail, but he always protected his family. From being in and out of jail he was built like an ox and could scrap like a pit bull. My mom always told me stories of how my uncle would go out with his friends and fight two or three guys and he would always win. That's how he is like Superman in the fighting division. As I said he was in jail a lot and that's how he wasn't like Superman. I don't think that Superman ever went to jail but if he did Uncle Steve and him would be just alike. My uncle had the biggest heart in the whole world and was always good to his family and others. There was another story my mom told me. She said that every time he would see a bum on the side of the road and he had money or change in his pocket he would give them all the change he had. My mom would ask why he gave the bums money and he replied that it might be his father. Let me give you some background on the "dad" situation, Steve never knew his dad and unfortunately he never had one of his own.
             The main reason I said he was only human was because my uncle was beat up with baseball bats and then run over three times by a car. When the cops came to tell my family about how he died I didn't want to believe it; I was in shock and in a state of denial.
             My uncle meant a lot to me and he taught me a lot of lessons. He taught me to never give up on anything
