A hero...?

Everyone has their hero, but what exactly is a hero? Who would be your hero? A hero should be someone who inspired someone to go in the right direction, takes responsibility for their actions, and always putting others before themselves. A person who leads you in the right direction when you don't know which path to choose is someone who is a hero. Someone who is worth looking up to for their leadership. Secondly someone who's a hero would always take responsibility for their wrong doings. Heroes would never blame others for they have caused and takes the punishment. Lastly another heroic trait should be someone is constantly putting themselves after everyone else. An example of a hero would be a soldier who is fighting in Iraq. They went to Iraq to fight for people in the United States. They don't even know half the people in the United States but they are willing to put themselves after us to keep us safe from danger. A hero would always be able to help someone go towards the better direction, taking responsibility, and putting others first.
