Everyday Heroes

When most people hear the word "hero" they may think of someone with super strength, or speed. But there are heroes all around us. Everyday people. People you might bump into on your way to class each day. When I hear the word "hero" I visualize a smart, respected, and nice person. My hero, is my best friend, Josh. He is himself around everyone he knows. He's confident, but not cocky. He's smart, but doesn't gloat about it. He speaks his mind, but he's kind about it. He's repectful, and he gets respect in return. He's helpful, and is always there when I need him. When I think of a hero, I think of him. He's an all around, great person. Even if he doesn't have x-ray vision, or the ability to fly.
