Hero

Everyone has a hero, whether it is Superman, your mom or dad, a solider, or even a movie star or athlete. But strength, courage, or even fame and fortune are not the only qualities that make a hero. To me, a hero is someone who stands up and fights for what they believe in. Today, very few people stick up for what they believe in because they are afraid of what people will think of them, if its something little like a band they like or something bigger, like their morals, or even God. That’s why Gandhi is my hero. He brought peace to India in a time of civil unrest. He did not care what the consequences were, in fact because of his actions he spent many years in jail. I believe anyone can be a hero if they just do something little as standing up for someone, or something they believe in.
