My Heroine

They say a hero is someone who always does the right thing. The way I see it, there is little truth in that statement. I have not ever in my life met anyone who had never made a mistake. Although it might be cliche, nobody is perfect. George Washington may be seen as a hero to some, but he did cut down his father's cherry tree. Spiderman saved many people in his movie, but he did let revenge get the best of him. Do not get me wrong, people that mess up can still be heroes. In fact, that can actually make them even more of a hero. When someone makes a wrong decision that gives others the opportunity to learn from their decision. My hero is my sister, Rebecca. She saved me from drowning when I was two years old. At the age of 21, believe me, my sister has made her share of mistakes. However, she has always been there for me, even if she has more important personal needs. In my eyes, that is what makes someone a hero.
