What is a Hero?

To most people, a hero saves lives or a country. If you ask me, a hero is just a person that helps someone else. A hero could be anyone from a music artist to a secret agent saving the world. One of country music singer Josh Turner's songs saved a womans life once. He was doing a meet and greet after one of his concerts and a woman pulled him aside. She told him that she was about to swalow a whole bottle of pills when his song "Long Black Train" came on the radio. She listened to the song and put the bottle down. But you don't have to save a life to be a hero. You could help someone with their homework or a project and be a hero. Everyday heros are policemen and firemen. I have a couple of policemen in my family and they put their lives on the line every day just to help people out. You don't need to put your life on the line to be a hero. All you have to do is help someone with their bags or give them directions. That is what a hero in my definition is.
