Your Everyday Hero: Judge Jeanine P.

My hero is Judge Pirro. She is a smart person with kindness at heart. She's an advocate for domestic violence and child abuse. I love her hard work and encouragement. She is also a mentor and a Judge. She is tough, smart, and cool. I learned that justice is about helping people with problems. Judge Pirro was born on June 2, 1951 in Elmira, New York. She's been a prosecutor, a judge and a District Attorney for 30 years. She started one of the first domestic violence units in the nation. She's been protecting kids for 30 years because, child abuse is against the law. Judge Pirro is a woman with honesty, trust, hope, and appreciation. I love Judge Pirro because, she's an angel and a friend to me. I also love her passion for dreams and life. Judge Pirro is an everyday hero to women, men, and children. I like her when she gives people advice on what to do and what not to do. Judge Pirro is always there when people are in need. Judge Pirro is my favorite Judge because, she's an inspiration to people who are victims of abuse and other crimes. Judge Pirro is a mother of two beautiful children, Alex and Kiki. Judge Pirro is a cool and pretty woman with courtesy and love. She helps people who have problems they need to solve. I learned that justice isn't always black and white and it's important to show kindness and to include others. She's my hero and my angel.
