What type of person comes to your mind when you hear somebody talk about a “Real Hero”?” What are the qualities and who is one person you would consider to be a hero today.

There are many different types of heroes.  Those that are in comic books, featured in animated movies, or the hero that I am going to try and describe.  A hero to me is someone who can stick up for themselves and for others.  One that is brave all the time.  A person that accomplishes anything and can lead others.  A hero is a person that others look up to, kind of like a role model.  HERO!  Heroes save the world; they make the world a better place.  And even though there is no such thing as a Superman in our real world, someone can change your day around and lift your spirits.  That is a true hero.

When you hear of a hero, most people probably do think of Superman or The Incredibles, but others might think of the show Heroes.  Many people may interpret the meaning of a hero differently. According to dictionary.com hero means – a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities.  So a hero is a person who has courage and shows bravery during acts of good deeds.  A hero is someone you look up to to make everything better.  In some cases, there may be more than one hero.  A hero can be supernatural, superhuman.

When I hear ‘Hero’ I can’t not think of all of our soldiers.  That is what a true hero is.  All of those men and women show bravery and courage in their acts of good deeds.  These people are the heroes of today, and tomorrow.  They will always be classified under the category: hero.  Thank you.

Many people can be heroes to others, if they want to be, if they try to be.

“Did you ever know that you’re my hero,and everything I would like to be. I can fly higher than an eagle,’cause you are the wind beneath my wings.”

-Shirley Bassey

    Hey Liv,
    What a great post! I really liked it :) I really agree other people can be heroes to others! Great ending, by the way.
    And you’re right, we haven’t talked in a while. I’m fine fortunately, but studying a lot :(
    And you?
    Kisses,

    Hey,
    Thanks for the comment. I think a hero is basically what you said, someone that helps the world or even one person to improve how they are. Also a heor is someone who saves someones life. I think there are heaps of diffenitions to the word ‘hero.’
