What Makes a Hero?

To me a hero is someone who is a great role model. Someone who can endure. They do their best to maintain integrity. They are honest about who they are and never try to be something they are not. When troubles come their way they do not give into temptation, they stand their ground and and refuse to give up. Heroes are those who do not quit. They never say they can't. When someone tells them that something is impossible they set out to prove them wrong, because in their mind nothing is impossible. Heroes are not focused on whether they win or lose, but what they learn from the situation. Their heads are never hung down. They are those who do not put others down to make themselves feel better. Heroes have determination and set out to meet their goals at all risk.
