We Need Our Heros.

A hero is a person who cares for others. A hero is a person who helps someone no matter how "uncool" or "lame" they are. A hero is a person who sees that someone in need of help or in need od a friend. A hero is someone who can tell if someone is feeling sorry, depressed, hurt or any other negative emotion. We need our heros, they help us move on from our bad times and experiences that can and will leave scars in your life if you dont let anyone help you. These heros save live just be helping you get over these problems. We all go through these situations. One problem is that not all of us that go through these situations and experiences is that not all of us recieve help from a hero. There are not as many as there use to be. We need people to stand up and help those in need and to just stop thinking of themselves as much. Believe it or not, I actually know some of these heros. One of them is my Grandfather, one is my youth pastor Brother Lamar, and one is my dad who CONSTANTLY is going out of his way to help those in need. I love every single one of these heros and constantly try to be like them. We need more heros in our crazy, messed up, corrupt, and inconsiderate world.

What is a Hero?

What makes a hero? Who are the heros, and if so how did they become one? Is there a set of rules by which they had to follow? These are great questions that have an unlimited amount of answers. A hero could be your mom, dad, sister, brother, neighbor, or anyone anywhere. They become these heros by doing what they do everyday. Whether it's helping out with homework, helping someone out of a car wreck, or even taking a bullet for somebody. By these events of everyday life, anyone can be a hero. There are endless possibilities for people to do something great. The people that defend our nation should definitely be considered heros. They risk their lives for us everyday to keep the world we live in safe. This is a perfect example of what makes someone hero. Somebody doing something extraordinary for the greater good of the world.

The Lamb

When I first heard that the assignment was on our hero, the first image that came to my mind was someone similar to Superman or Batman. Then a more serious image of a policeman, paramedic, or something of that sort came to mind. None of these options seemed to fit. A hero is someone who sacrificies themselves for others. A hero is not someone who looks out only for themselves or someone with selfish intentions at heart, but someone that looks to serve and has everyone's best interest at heart. A hero is someone who looks to give, regardless of what they gain in return. Those qualities make up a true hero. We can all agree that those standard's would be hard to live up to on a daily basis. Only one person met those standard's and surpassed them. Jesus Christ, who rose above adversity and faced it head on, was the one one did just that. He spread God's word regardless of what people thought or who judged him. He didn't do so to be spiteful and let everyone know they were going to hell. He did it for those who were lost, broken, and shaken down to their very core. He did it for the ones that needed to know that their sin's were forgiven and that someone was always there for them. He was truly perfect, and has helped countless amounts of people find hope and salvation. He layed his life down on the cross so our sin's would be forgiven. Regardless of what others think, Jesus is and always will be, my hero.

A Hero Without Superpowers

When many hear the word "hero", they think of the classic comic book hero with superpowers, which is not wrong, but is not the right definition for this type of hero. This type of hero, to me, is a man or woman who is noble, courageous, and always does what is right. I imagine someone who is unselfish and very friendly. One person I think of as a hero is my dad. He may not be able to fly or defeat villains with laser vision, but he does his best at everything. It is the simple things he does that makes me believe this. He does things such as helping people when they are hurt, standing up for someone, and is always there for everyone. Though the thing I respect most of all is his will to sacrifice his life for his family and friends. Growing up, he always provided my sisters and I with the best advice and guidance. He taught us the best life lesson, never give up on anything we do. I was having a difficult time with grades, friends, and life in general one year. When I was just about ready to give up, he was right by my side, encouraging me to keep my head held high. So the point is, to be a hero, you do not have to have superpowers.

Heroism

Everyone has their own opinion of what a hero is. Some may consider a hero to be brave and strong, such as a prince saving a damsel from distress. Others may think of a hero to be their grandfather who taught them how to play baseball when they were younger. Either way, the hero in the situation was being selfless and altruistic; they were considering the other person before them self. In my opinion, that is exactly what a hero is.
A single mother who is determined to support her family, the volunteers spending their weekends in a soup kitchen, or the soldiers who risk their lives to defend our wonderful country- these people are heroes because of their selflessness and their wanting to help others. In my life, my parents would definitely be my heroes. When I was first born, my parents had to work all the time in order to have enough money for our newly found family. One of the two would have to stay with me while the other worked. Then they would alternate. If it weren't for my parents' hard work and selflessness, who knows what kind of life I'd be living today? I'm very contented that we have our heroes in this world!

My Hero

My hero is brave like a warrior, enduring like a tank, and quick-witted like a war general. My hero is not one like Superman but one like a soldier. Someone who honors their country enough to risk their past and future to fight so that we have a free life is a brave hero. Anyone who works with a team to overcome obstacles most of us never have and never will face, all while fearing for their life and families is an enduring hero. My hero is one who can think strategically under pressure unimaginable and odds unfathomable is an intelligent hero. My hero is a hero that can endure being brave while making quick-witted decisions, under pressure that could make a man crack. My hero is a special type of person that fears no insane odds. This hero exists in few, but those few use their god-given gift to the fullest. This person is the person I can imagine in a dramatic war scene saving the lives of millions. This man is the one I see giving his lives for his family, home, and country. My hero is a soldier, a soldier who cares, a soldier who thinks about the safety and lives of others before himself. My hero is not imaginary, my hero exists in the United States Military.

Secret Heroes

When we were young we pretended that we could fly and save the world. We saw the good in the world and wanted to be part of it. When did we stop seeing the real heroes around us? Or stop wanting to be “just like them when we grew up”? There are heroes all around us, whether it’s the husband fighting in the war or the EMT who came to the rescue for a choking baby and her panicked mother. A hero can even be someone who gives a few encouraging words. With those few words they may change that person’s life forever without even realizing it. Everyone has the potential to change the world in some way. No matter how small they think it is, everyone has a hero inside of them. We walk by these heroes everyday without even realizing it. No, they don’t climb buildings, fly, swing from webs, or have superpowers but, they make a difference in the world. In the end that’s all that really makes you a hero. It’s not the powers you have but, the impact you have on the world and the people in it.

A hero is everywhere

A hero is a person that is brave and selfless. Many books and movies feature characters that are super heroes. These characters may do extraordinary things to save citizens from a harmful event, or rescue other characters from harm. Not all heroes have to have special powers. My heroes are the men and women fighting in the war. These soldiers are risking their lives to protect our freedom and our country. The courage and perseverance these soldiers have, is what a real hero is to me. Although, not all heroes are found fighting on battlefields, but are found in every day life. Even a neighbor or friend can be seen as a hero through someone’s eyes. A hero will help in the community, donate money to a special cause, or risk their life to save others in harms way. To be a hero you must have the passion and heart to protect others. So, whether fighting villains, doing great deeds, or helping others, a hero always saves the day.

Hero

Heroes have played a key role in society all over the world. Heroes have been around since the dawn of mankind. They have been around as far back as the ancient greeks and as present as modern day firefighters. The main quality a hero has to have is bravery.You may be the most unwise person alive ,but if you have the guts to run into a collapsing building that caught fire to save a little girl on the third floor, you are a true hero. Heroism comes from the heart of any human being. Heroism is the choice to do the right thing when someone needs help or whenever someone is struggling. Heroism can be shown in many different ways under many circumstances. Th perfect example of a hero is Odysseus. Odysseus saved his crew many times. Odysseus was extremely loyal to his crew and he saved his wife from the evil suitors that plagued his home. A good example of an everday hero would be a soldier. He bargains his life for our everyday freedom and rights. A soldier fights for his beliefs and his own country for the greater good of that entire country. The key role a hero plays in society today is extremely important. Without heroes in the world everybody would be the same boring person without any courage or kindness to help one another. Heroes are the people who no matter what will stand by a person in their time of need and help them. This is why the world needs heroes.

Heroism is In All of Us

Heroism to me is someone you rely on, and someone who helps you in a crisis; big or small. I have encountered many heroes in my life time. My whole family is made up of heroes. My parents have spent their money and time on feeding me, clothing me, and giving me a house to live under. This just shows you how important heroes are in the world. No matter what happens you will always have a hero there for you. Heroes can be the ones in fairy tales, like the prince who saved Rapunzel. Also, heroes can be firefighters, police, doctors, teachers, and basically anyone who helps the community. A very important hero would be someone serving our country in the Arm. A hero can also be a leader of a country, state, or city. Heroes come in all different shapes and sizes. If it was brought upon them, a child can be a hero. There are many stories that people hear about heroes and knights. These stories may seem like a fantasy but the heroes and knight of the real world do exists. Who know you may someday be a hero. Heroism is in all of us, you just have to find it.

Forget the Capes and Forget the Masks

The true definition of a hero is a person distinguished by exceptional courage, nobility, and strength, but that doesn't necessarily mean Superman or Spiderman. Although most people think of the stereotypical movie hero, I think of people such as firemen, police officers, my family, and God. The people who would give their lives to insure safety for others. Firemen and police officers put themselves in danger everyday to protect others, most of whom they are strangers to. That to me is a real heroic act, not some fake superhero from a movie flying around and saving the day. I also consider my family to be my heroes. My mom and my dad always do their best to make sure we have the things we want and need in life. They are always ready and willing to do anything and everything for my sisters and me, and for that, they are my heroes. Then there is God, the man that will never let you down. He who makes anything possible and will be there for you no matter what the situation is. These are all people who are willing to make sacrifices for others, so forget the capes and forget the masks. Find the real heroes in your life.

My Heroes

My definition of a hero is someone who teaches life lessons. I do not have a hero. I have heroes. My heroes taught me how to love, taught me how to share, how to use manners, and how to treat others. They also taught me how to be respectful, how to be honorable, and how to make friends. My heroes are my parents. I have never looked up to my mom more than my dad, and I have never looked up to my dad more than my mom. I have looked up to them as equals. They have always been there for me. From what I have been told, they always will be. They set great examples. They also help me learn right from wrong. My parents will continue to teach me many important things throughout my life, and I cannot wait to learn them. They can be call parents, guardians, and role models. The one thing I am most proud to call them are my heroes. Mom and Dad have been there with me through it all. My heroes will be there to catch me when I fall. That is why my parents are, and always will be my heroes.

He's Ordinary

"There goes my hero, He's ordinary." Dave Grohl, singer of the Foo Fighters, said in their song "My Hero". I believe that he is saying that a hero doesn't have to save lives or protect people. I believe we all have a personal hero as well. Not to say that all of our men and women in the police, army and armed forces aren't heroes. I'm just trying to say that regular people in our day to day lives can also be heroes too. I believe that to be a hero you have to be a role model in someones life and help advise them to a better future. You also need to always be there for them to encourage them. This is what a being a personal hero is about. someone you know who is trying to make a difference in your life and change it for the better. We all have a personal hero, even though some people don't know who. But there is a person in everyone's life trying to make a difference and encourage them.

Whats a Hero?

What does a hero mean today? A hero can mean someone that is always there for you,or someone that is helping out the community such as a policeman or a fireman. Well a hero to mean means that when someone does things for the right reason all the time,even when no one is looking and is always a hard worker. Well my uncle, named Eric Wilkes is my hero. He is my hero because he helps people know about Jesus Christ and he loves to do it and he does it anywhere and anytime. He would give a homeless person his shirt off of his back or give them money to get one,if they ask for one. He is just a type of person that loves everyone and never judges anyone. He also gives back to our church,such as giving them money, playing in the band on Sundays night,and during fundraiser helping out as much as he can. He told me story's when he was in Junior high that when a little guy got pick on by a bigger guy he would stick up for the littler guy,cause he knew it was not right to pick on someone. I wish I had the courage and bravery to stick up for kids getting picked on at school,cause I see it all the time and I know Eric would want me to. If that is not a good meaning of a hero then I do not know what is!

My Uncle, My Hero

What does a Hero mean to me today? My Uncle Steve is a hero to me. A true hero is someone who stands up for a cause they believe in. This can be as simple as being raised to do the right thing and help someone in need or in danger. But it is not just becuase of that, it can also mean taking a stand and willing to sacrifice everything for what you believe in. The perfect example of a hero to me would be someone, like my uncle, who serves in the military. Everyone knows someone who serves, such as a father, mother, sister, brother, husband, wife, uncle or aunt. We all are somehow affected by the love and dedication that these men and women give freely on a daily basis. When our nation calls these men and women are there to protect us, defend our freedoms, or help another country who is in harms way. These soldiers do not serve for the money or the glory. They serve to protect us and would give their lives without hesitation because this is what they have been called to do.

Everyday hero's among us

Hero's they are everywhere in your household, down your street, and almost anywhere you look. To me a hero is someone that is not afraid to stand up for what right and tell the truth about it. A hero also is someone who can tell the difference between right and wrong even if the right thing is necessary what they want. So, with this said who exactly is a hero? I believe a hero is a person like a local pastor. I believe this kind of person is a hero because they do know right from wrong and will tell the truth. Besides doing both of those things they also will always be there for you when you need them. Do not get me wrong there is many other hero's out there but I strongly believe pastors or men and women of God are the best.Other things great hero's do are they enjoy helping community's. Another great thing my kind of hero's do is lead many people to Christ which in the end is the greatest thing you can possibly do. So, In conclusion my idea of a hero is a man or woman of God. Who do you think is a hero in your life?

My Hero

When I think of a hero I think of my mother. Not only does she live each day encouraging others and showing nobility, but she also shows strength throughout the everyday battles she faces. See my mom has a long list of health issues. Fibromyalgia, a painful condition of the muscles and connective tissue, and Parkinson's disease, a common crippling disease characterized by muscle spasms and tremors, are only two of the many battles she faces each day. On top of that she has had to have her heart medically stopped and a rib removed. Even though my mom suffers all the time in sometimes excruciating pain, she doesn't let it bring her down. With all of these issues she still seems to put others before herself. My mom is a surgical scrub nurse which means she assists physicians in surgical procedures. She could easily being drawing a disability check each month, but instead she continues to change peoples lives through surgery. I also appreciate my mom for continuing everything she needs to do to take care of our family. She doesn't let anything get in the way of putting up with two teenagers. As I watch her put one foot in front of the other daily, I appreciate her strength and her diligence as she goes about living life.

Hero

There are many heroes in the world. They can be anyone frome your next door neighbor to a police man. A true hero is always loyal, caring, and there for you. A hero must be loyal because if you do not trust someone than how can they be your hero? A hero must be caring also because how will they be willing to help you in a time of need if they do not care about you. Also, a hero must be there for you in any situation. An example of a hero to me is my dad. My dad is a hero to me because of all the reasons that I listed. He was always there for me when I needed him. He always has taught me right from wrong and always will. Another reason he is my hero is because I trust him with my life. To me. thats a true hero, a person who you can trust with your life and who trusts you with theirs,

A Hero

Who is a hero? I think a hero is someone who stands up for other people. That's why I think anyone serving in the military is a hero. I mean think what they do for us. They protect our country. They are the reason we are free citizens. They have to be extremely brave. They to brave knowing they could die in battle. They are put through really hard training. They have to be really tough. They have to leave there home for years at a time. They make a big sacrifice to protect us. That is why I think they are hero's.

Blue collar..............Or Blue cape?

When I was younger I thought my Daddy was a superhero, what little girl doesn't? It's only now that I realize just how right I was. Because blue cape, or blue collar he's twice hero than superman could ever be.
He can overcome any challenge, battle any (theoretical)demon, and can cook some mean mashed potato's. All without thought of his own well being, only that of those he loves, and moreover protects.
For the past twenty-three years my Daddy has fought hard, alongside my mom against R.R.P, and was strong and brave for her all those years even knowing he could lose her. Well, we recently recived news that brought the twenty-three year battle has reached a whole new level of scary. My mother, who's now forty-six was diagnosed with stage three,non-smoking lung cancer(from papalomas that decended down from her esophagus to her lungs and mutated). On top of that we almost lost her last year to an intestinal kink...most people would have broken down by now, right?
Well not my Daddy, he wasn't named after one of the Lords toughest, disciples for nothing. Twenty-three years, and twenty-five anniversaries later, he remains strong.Now, not only for my mom, but for my sister, myself, along with their families and friends.
Plus, he has had his mother-in-law living with him for the past seven weeks.That's more pressure than most men endure in a life time. Put it all together and anyone would see that this blue-collar family-man, is a class-A Hercules.He's even got the Madi-Grass costume to prove it!

Hero.....Good Word For It

Some dictionaries define a hero as a powerful person who saves entire cities from crime. Those dictionaries are right in comics and movies, but other than that, they are dead wrong. My vision of a hero is someone who goes out of their way for someone. Someone who drops what they are doing to rush to your side. They are not afraid to stick up for you or anyone else. However they also teach you how to prevent it from happening again. It's not a superhuman with the ability to lift cars or run at the speed of light. It's a normal person doing the right thing. Whether it be helping you get your self confidence. Or if they prevent you from getting hurt in any way. To me, my grandma is a hero. She is everything I typed here today and so much more.

A Hero

      A hero. What exactly is a hero? Most people would define a hero as someone that saves another person. To me, a hero is someone who is always there for you. They can save you, but save you mostly in hard times. When you need them the most you can always count on them. A hero is not going to be someone who is your best friend one day then go and talk about you behind your back. A real hero keeps their friends secrets. A real hero helps someone pick up their books when someone else knocks them out their hands. A real hero isn't the one picking on someone. To me, a real hero is God. He is there for everyone, and never turns on them. He helps them through the good and the bad times. I can trust him with anything and he always catches me when i fall. He is always there when I want to talk and even is there if i don't feel like talking. I can't think of a better hero. So, that is what I think a hero is, and my hero is God.

Powers are for Wimps

You do not need to have a special power to be a hero. Anyone that strives to be a hero, can succeed if they try their absolute hardest. A hero is someone who puts their heart into everything they do. The hero might have to put his or her life on the line if the duty calls for it. My personal hero is my deceased grandfather. Everything he did,even if he did not want to do it, he put in 110%. He was also a cop for 20 years and a security gaurd at the state capitol for ten years. A general hero to me, is a detective because everytime he gets a case, he puts out everything he has to find the criminal. Sometimes they have to stay up all night and work. They might have to question nine people in two days, and he acts with the same sturdiness as if the ninth was the first. My grandpa and a detective have nothing in common except that they give it their all for everything. A hero can be anyone in the world, if they are up to the task.

My Hero

What makes someone a hero? To me, a hero is someone courageous, fearless, brave, and willing to put another person's life ahead of their own. Someone who is ready for a challenge and won't back down. A person who is a good role model and sets high standards. Someone who is honest, trustworthy, loving, caring, and helpful. My hero would be my mother because she has always been there for me, and always will be there. She has taught me right from wrong, guided me in decision making, and always pushes me to my limits. She has provided a roof over my head and food to eat. My mom is a counselor. She helps people cope with their problems, so she always encourages me and always gives the best advice. She is always really tough on me, and expects 110 percent. However, she is also very caring and sincere. These are the things that make my mom, my hero.

The Everyday Hero

The definition of a hero is a person distinguished by exceptional courage, nobility, and strength. The first thing we all think of when we imagine a hero is a man with a cape who comes in at the exact moment he is needed and saves the day. The hero is always the one who offers his protection often at the risk of his own safety and then is admired for his bravery. Although we all know that there are no men who fly around in capes, there are many heroic people. Heroes are not always brought to your attention, in fact, sometimes they do not want recognition; all they want is to help others. In my opinion, that is the most admirable type of hero. For example, the woman who has lost her husband and now has to raise her kids all alone. She is working many part time jobs just to provide for her family. She is a hero that does not get any credit, but is doing amazing things. Many firemen and policemen are heroes who work so hard to create a safe world for us, that they risk their own lives everyday. Even the people who give their time and money to help those in need who could have used it for themselves but gladly gave it away. Anyone can be a hero because sometimes all it takes is just standing up for someone else and putting their needs before yours. I would have to say that even though I agree that a hero is courageous, noble, and strong, I think just as importantly, a hero is someone who is giving, kind, and selfless.

The True Hero

I believe the makings of a true hero include three main things. They are bravery, selflessness, and strong will power. I also believe a true hero must have all three of these qualities. Many people have one or two of the qualities, however few have all three. There are many true heroes in the United States. They are all around us and defend us. Not only do they defend, they go and fight for us wherever there is need. They go across sea's and endure extremely harsh conditions. Not only for their family and friends, but for Americans they don't know. These heroes leave their families to go protect our nation. They are usually not known and often unappreciated. These heroes serve in the United States Military.

Mothers, Unsung Heroes

How are mothers heroes you ask? Well, mothers are heroes in many ways. Both mothers and everyday heroes are responsible people willing to sacrifice life, time, and money to help others. In most cases, mothers are the ones who raise children and shape and mold their lives. They provide instruction and knowledge for their children about the world among us, heal us when we are sick, help us through hard times, and put up with all of our nagging. Mothers are the family caretakers and counselors, while the fathers are the providers and protecters. Together they form a strong team equipped to take on anything. Though married mothers are heroes, the single mothers do the work of two! They take care of and make time their kids all while working to put food on the table. In single parent situations, one person is in charge of everything with no help. That takes a lot of bravery, especially for a woman! Heroes are found everywhere, mothers are just some of the few heroes not regularly thought of. They are women, hear them roar!

Heroes Walk Among Us

Typically, when the word hero is mentioned, people think of the obvious tight and cape clothed comic book characters like Superman, Spiderman, and so on. These fictional characters do not impress me that much. They have enemies and secret identities. To me, a hero should not have to hide their good deeds from the world and should care for all people despite how bad they may be. A hero saves the day and sometimes risks their own life to save others. Bravery, courageous, and selflessness are a few words I would use to describe a hero. The best example of everyday heroes are charity organizations. Some of these non-profit groups donate money and care for people they do not even know. Without their help, it would be harder for cancer patients to receive the right treatments. You could be someone's hero and not even know it. Saving a person's life could be as simple as showing appreciation for someone who may not have felt loved before. I believe everyone has the power within themselves to possess a hero's traits. Heroes give other people hope when there is barely any left.

A Hero at Heart

When we were little and our teachers asked us who were our heroes, what was our answer? It was some kind of super hero we saw on t.v. or on the toy aisle at the store, like Spiderman and Superwoman. But as we got older our definition of a true hero changed and we did not think about superheroes anymore. In my own opinion, a hero is someone who strives to do the good and right things in life, and they always put others before themselves. A hero is someone who helps others, and they do it because it is the right thing; not because it was forced upon them. They do not think about themselves when committing to a task that would benefit others. Most importantly, a hero is a person who shows love for others and has a big heart. They also have hope and faith, even in the worst of situations. I can not say that I have one hero, I have multiple. My heroes are the troops out fighting for our country and our safety. They voluntarily risk their own lives trying to save others. Within the blink of an eye they are out protecting us because of their sincere love for us and our country. These soldiers are true heros without a doubt.

A Hero

What is a hero? When many people think of the word hero, they think of the people in comic books and movies, the people who wear a costume, have superpowers, and fight crime. Or, some may think of a policeman, fireman, or doctor. I think that all of these people are heroes. They are brave, courageous, and strong. Does this mean that you have to save lives everyday in order to be a hero? No. To me, a true hero is someone that stands up for what they believe in, who thinks about others first, and most importantly, is kind. Many people do heroic acts everyday. To me, you can be a hero by simply caring for the people around you. Or by doing work for the community. Such as helping the elderly, donating clothes or money for the poor, and working at a daycare with children. A true hero does not have to wear a cape. A true hero is someone who willing to give up part of their lives, in order to help others.

heros

According to reference.com "A man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds is a hero." And I could not agree more with that. I beleive heros are just your average everyday human who do, and have done things that have impacted not just their lives but many others. My grandfather for instance is a hero to me, my mom, my dad, and all three of my sisters. He has done so much for us; starting with enrolling in the army. He risked his life signing up to go fight for not just his and my family but for his and my country. He has taught me everything from how to treat a girl to how to build a motocycle. He has raised my mother, braught my father hunting, teaching him every thing there is to know about it. And taken care of my sisters many times since birth. And he is in great shape, still giving. The list goes on but my summary is ending. He is my Poppy and my hero and always will be.

What's a Hero?

A hero? You mean like Superman, Batman, and Spiderman? This would be the answers that a 6 year old would give. This is one of those topics that has a millon different answers. The true dictionary defintioin is a man of distinguished courage or ability, amired for his brave deeds and nobel qualities. Many dictionary definitions do not relate to real life or real life situations. My defintion of a hero is someone who inspires someone in their everyday life. Someone that is never selfish, and hovers over everyone else due to their courage and nobility. I belive everyone is a hero. It does not matter if you have had struggles in your life, and never had really been on the right track, you still are a hero in someones eyes. The hero in my eyes, which everyone should agree with, is Jesus Christ himself. He had been brutally beaten, in the worst pain possible; something i would not wish on my worst enemy, and he even sacrificed his own precious life to forgive us for our sins. Heros do not always have to do something enormous to become a hero. Sticking up for a fellow classmate when someone is picking on them can also consider you a hero. Rember, its not always the big things in life that make you stick out in a crowd, it is also the small things, and they will stick with you forever.

Heroes

There are many definitions to what a hero could be. Like many other people have typed in their blogs, a hero could be a person who saves lives or simply does nice things for others. Heroes to me would be somebody who is courageous, brave, and just does nice things for people. The person would be courageous because they would try to save people kind of like a fireman, policeman, or an EMT. Brave would fall under the same category as courageous because they would kind of have to do the same thing. Doing nice things for people could be anybody because you could simply just be a hero to a single person or lots of people. Then again the fictional characters that we used to watch on T.V., or in some peoples case might still do, but those are people that save people, fight bad guys, and save the world. Those people are just made up, even though some people might think that they are real, those characters are just finctional. The real heroes in our world are people that are willing to risk their lives for others. Also, anybody could be a hero just by doing the simple things for people. The average person could be hero if they would just do the simple things like contributing to their hometown, helping out some charities, or donating to others. Even you could be a hero if you really tried!!!

True Heroes

In our society today, we typically stereotype heroes as police officers, firemen, and soldiers. Yes, they are heroes, but that is their job. But what about the heroes who do not get recognized for their courageous acts? I am referring to the type of hero who is brave when the moment demands for someone to take action. These heroes may risk their lives to help someone or stand up for a citizen's rights when no one else will. A single teenage mom who made the decision to raise a child instead of taking the easy road is a hero. She gave up her future for her child. A man jumping in front of a bullet to save a friend is a hero. A true hero does not do it for glory, nor do they do it for money. They do it because they have the courage and strength to stand up and do the right thing. A hero is willing to risk their life for the greater good. I believe we have heroes walking around us everyday. We may never know who they are, or what they have done that is an act of heroism. But they could have done something so heroic that it has greatly affected some one else's life, whether that person knows it or not.

My Hero

The word hero is usually used to describe someone swooping in to save the day. Being able to fly, or run super fast are not the specialties a hero has to obtain. A hero, in my opinion, is someone I admire for their special qualities, and the sacrifices they make for the good of others. A true hero shows bravery at the darkest of times. They have the courage to stand up for what is right, when no one else will! Heroes do not back down when times are difficult, they keep fighting until they succeed. Many people have these characteristics, and are heroes without even noticing! There are heroes everywhere doing everyday things. A hero could be a person standing up to a bully, or someone simply bringing a hot meal to someone unable to make one them self. To me, my friends and family are my heroes because they are there for me. They pick me up whenever I fall, give me a boost to get through life, and when I need advice and someone to talk to they will be there. They are my heroes!

Spiderman, Superman, Or My Grandmother?

What is a hero based on my definition? When a young child hears the word hero they think of Spiderman or Superman. Yet, to me a hero isn’t always someone who saves a bystander from a building collapsing. To me, a hero could also be someone who would go out of their way to help you, even in the most trivial situations. I have grown to learn that the greatest hero I have ever personally known is my own grandmother. She gets up every day to work with the special education students at her school. When I visit her there I find her teaching these “special” children the right way to pronounce a word. Sometimes, even the way to announce you must go to the restroom. Even though she does not admit to it, she helps these children in more ways than you can possibly fathom. The thought of having the patience is very hard for me to comprehend. She has come home having sprained her wrist trying to save one of her children from the bullying of another student. To me this is the true act of a hero and my grandmother is the ultimate example.

Never Fear

Despite what most people think, heroes are not only people like Batman and Wonder Woman. They do not fly around saying, "Never fear, Underdog is here!" According to Webster's Dictionary, a hero is "A man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities." I partly agree with this and partly disagree. I agree that heroes are highly admired for all that they do. but I disagree that a hero always shows bravery. For example, a doctor preforms surgery everyday, and does not have to be courageous, but can still save and change a life. Another example is a role model. They can have a huge impact on someone's life without even knowing it. Role models may not have to put in any effort or bravery to change someone's life. I believe the most significant hero is the police because everyday they go out of their way to help protect the community and keep it crime free. When the public runs away from dangerous situations, the police are the first to face it head on. I think one thing we all should remember are the real heroes in our community instead of the heroes that claim we should "Never Fear".

Forget the spandex

Everyone's definition of a hero is different. Some believe that heroes are the guys who wear spandex outfits, with their underwear on top, and a cape. While others believe that heroes are everyday people. I believe that anyone can be a hero. My definition of a hero is someone who would do anything without a selfish thought. A true hero is brave, honest, helpful, and so on. An example of what a hero is to me would be a fireman. They selflessly risk their lives to save people trapped in fires. An other example of a hero are all our solders. They risk their lives for our freedom. There are heroes all around us. They just don't wear spandex suits, or their underwear on top, or capes. They're just everyday people, who do extraordinary things.

The True Heroes

Everyone, sometime throughout their lifetime, is asked the simple question about what a hero is in their words. A hero can be any person, anywhere, at anytime. If you looked around right now you could probably see a hero in plain sight. He might not be doing anything heroic but there will be a point somewhere throughout their life where they will help somebody and show their true heroics. A hero can be someone who protects others, sticks up for others, or keeps people out of harms way, but a hero can be much more than that. To be a hero, could be just doing a simple task to help another person on a problem they might be having. Everyone could take the simple duty of being an everyday hero. You don't have to go around looking for trouble to show your heroics, you can just take a little of your time to go out the way to help others. Everyday heroes can include police officers, firefighters, or paramedics but they encourage you to help out and be good to others which can make the person helping out or being nice to others a hero too. There is not any superheroes in this world,that we know of, but everyday heroes are all around us. They are surrounding us and the population of heroes is growing due to the everyday heroes taking a few minutes of there day to help others for common good. To be a hero, you don't need a disguise, a cool name, tights, a cape, a mask, or anything like that. You just need to find the need to help others out and do things to help out other people in order to show your true heroics and how much superpower you truly have.

What Makes a Hero?

Superman. Batman. Those are just names. What is a hero? Is it someone that inspires you? Is it someone that happens to walk by on the street? Heroes do not always wear costumes. Most don't see the true value of a hero. People look at the content on the outside and don't see what the inside holds. A hero could be defined as the one person that does for others instead of themselves. My hero is my great-grandfather. He has helped me view life in ways that I did not think were possible. Anyone can be a hero but first you must look past the faults.

Does a hero always have to fly?

It's a bird! It's a plane! No! It's Superman! Does a hero always have to be fictional? Do they always have to wear silly costumes? What IS a true hero? My definition of a hero would not be someone that saves lives. Although, that may be someone else's. To me, the meaning of a hero would be a person I look up to. A person that cares for me, and helps me whenever I need it most. In my case, it would be my nana. I look up to her like no other person. She has taught me so many life lessons that I live by everyday. In my eyes, a hero is an everyday person, whether you know them personally, or you do not know them very well at all. Next time you think about what a hero REALLY is, consider this, do they always have to fly?

What Makes Superman so Great?

What makes Superman so great? People all around the world love Superman because he is a hero. Even though he is fictional he is the embodiment of classic hero traits. For example, Superman saves people in distress and helps those in need. The definition of a hero is a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. Heroes in our reality do not always look as impressive as the ones in Marvel Comics on the outside, but every hero has a heart of gold. Heroes in our world do not possess super physical strength, but they do possess super emotional strength. They can not penetrate walls with their eyes ,but they do have the ability to see through people and discover the truth and lies in someones heart. Our modern day hero is a person who puts others before themselves, protects the weak, and is an ally for whoever might need one. Some heroes we see every day are policemen, who keep order in a disheveled world, and teachers , who educate whole generations . Heroes are not always what we expect them to be . Heroes are sometimes neighbors and other times they are complete strangers. Superman may have been great, but I think the heroes in everyday life are real super men .

What makes someone a hero

Many ways, someone can be classified as a hero. They can have super powers while fighting crime. Thats the general idea of a hero. My idea of a hero is way different than what abunch of people. To me, a hero is someone who is constantly fighting either to save a person from a fire or fighting in a war against another country for his native land. A soldier is my favorite hero. They fight for our country everyday when deployed. They take little pay in return for having to kill many men, which drives some to the point of going crazy.Firemen just as much, take on fires constently to save the lives of others. They as well, get little reward in return. So, to me a hero is someone who is selfless and is willing to die for anybody in danger of losing their own life. One day, I hope to be in their shoes paying back what they've done for us and the next generation after that, until the second coming, when our true hero Christ saves us all.

What a Hero is to Me

People have many definitions on what a hero actually is. Some think they are strong and can fly or they think of police officers and firefighters. When I think about heros, both of those things come to mind however; then I think deeper of all of the other people I consider heros. A hero to me is someone that is nice or someone who is truly selfless. People that go out of their way to help you. I would definitely consider soliders heros. They are risking their lives for us. My uncle was a solider and he told me how hard it is but, when you remember why you are doing it, it is worth it. People in my life that are heros are my friends and my family, especially my older sister Ashton. They really help me handle the stress of school, dance and my everday life. I know that they will be there for me and pick me up when I need it. I think everyone has some sort of hero in their lives. Some people may be there own hero, depending on their lives and things they have had to deal with. When it comes down to it a hero to me is someone you look up to and someone that is a good role model.

A Special Heart.

Many people potray heros as people with super powers. A true hero can be a person who is selfless. A person that goes out of their way to save somebody from harm. People all around us do things that make the world go round. Fireman putting out raging house fires and rushing people out. Police risk there lives on the line and keep our streets clean of crime. The docters that does their best to save that a patient that almost got away. Many of America's heros are over seas and fighting for us. Heros are all around us. Parents are heros for raising you throught good and bad. We may not recognize it, but they are. They do not have super powers and they still do what they do. It takes a special heart to be a true hero. :)

An Unlikely Hero

When you ask most people what a hero is, they would tell you someone who defeats bad guys and saves the city, like Superman or Batman. Others might tell you parents, teachers, or firefighters. A hero can be anything. To me, heroes are brave, kind, more concerned of others than of themselves. If that is someone with superhuman strength wearing tights, so be it. I think heroes are more everyday people that you can find most anywhere. My hero is my great aunt. She has raised her children, and her grandchildren. She never complains and assures everyone else is settled before becoming comfortable herself. She is currently in the battle of a lifetime. She handles it with the utmost grace and serenity. To do all of this and still have the kind spirit she does makes her someone one of the bravest, most heroic people I know. She exemplifies what a true hero is: brave, tireless, caring, and kind.

A Hero

Usually, when someone thinks of a hero they automatically think of the fictional superheroes in movies and books. Superheroes like Batman or Spiderman. To me, though a hero is much more than a person that comes to the rescue for people in need. A hero should also be courageous and noble. A hero should be a person that would risk their life to protect other people. Like a fireman will go into a burning building to save the people inside. Police officers also risk their lives to save other people. They stop drinking and driving, speeders, and also have to arrest some people that could hurt them, but they do it anyway. Doctors can save people lives by performing surgeries. In my opinion there are a lot of different definitions for hero, but anyone can be a hero if they want to. You may even be a hero and you don't know it.

A True Hero

The definition of a hero to me would be someone who is very brave and noble. The first thing that pops up in my mind when I think about a hero is all those superhero cartoons I use to watch when I was really young. Those kind of heros, however, do not exsist. A hero can be anybody, like me or you that does something bold and brave to help a cause. Being a hero can be something as simple as being generous or donating money or your time to someone less fortunate. Those kinds of things as simple as that are considered to be heroic acts. Some people do heroic things and might not even know that they are being a hero. One of my friends that goes to my church did a very awesome heroic act and he might not even realize it. He dated a girl for a few years who didn't believe in God when they first started dating. As the relationship went on, they started reading verses in the Bible together and started to have small Bible studies over the phone and in person. Because of him dating this girl, he became a christian example to her and helped her to believe in God. She recently got saved and accepted Christ into her life. By my friend dating her and helping her, he saved her life. He didn't save her life physically, he saved her life eternally. Because of him, she has a wonderful life in heaven in store for her. He was bold and brave in his beliefs and was not ashamed or selfish in sharing them. To me, that is a true example of a hero!

A Hero?

Upon hearing the word “hero”, just about everyone would think of Superman, Bat Man, Spiderman, or any other famous fictional superhero. However, the definition of a hero is someone who is distinguished my by extraordinary courage, nobility, and selflessness. Many different types of heroes exist in the real world. They may not be able to fly or have superhuman strength, but they save lives in many other ways. A firefighter helps put out fires and is the one to go into a burning house to save someone they more than likely have never seen before. A police officer catches people who are speeding or are drinking and driving to help stop a dangerous and possibly fatal accident from occurring. A doctor can perform a surgery that can save someone’s life. Most people who haven’t had their lives, or a family member or friend, saved by one of these people don’t view these people as heroes, but they are. My father and mother both have had doctors change their lives; my father was saved from losing his legs and an arm, while my mother was saved from a life in pain, not knowing why. And now my parents can continue being a hero in their own ways. My dad is a mechanic, and an extraordinarily good one at that. My mother is a computer wizard and constantly keeps our networking safe from people who want to try and find out where we are. Anyone can be a hero. Even if you don’t think that you could ever be a hero, you have the potential to be.

The Opinions Of A Semi-Depressed Teenage Boy

Who is a hero? I will answer the question with another question, who isn't a hero? In other posts people say the first thing that comes to mind are the men in suits created by Marvel. Just in all other aspects, T.V.has ruined the possibilities and imaginations of what can be. I do not believe in men in suits that come to save the day. I believe that a hero is someone who is proud of their opinions, someone who can defend others, someone who will admit defeat. What i am saying is a cliche, it also what people expect to read, and that is okay. I know that everyone has a hero in themselves somewhere, and for that reason I don't think role models should be condoned. I think if people spend half the time trying to find the good in themselves instead of trying to be someone they are not, everyone would be happier. These are nothing but the opinions of a semi-depressed teenage boy. That is what I believe a hero is, and I hope everyone can find their own.

The Definition of A Hero

We used to feel so small, stretching our heads back to the fullest extent just to peer into a grown up’s eyes. Those eyes held wisdom, knew perfection, could jump all the way to the moon and back. They were our heroes. But as we grew older and wiser ourselves, our perspectives shifted, and we saw the faults of ones older than us. So though our young eyes were so easily able to distinguish a hero, who is to say now exactly what a hero is? Even the most unlikely of people can be considered a hero through one person’s eyes. So though no exact definition can be made, to me, a hero is someone who puts other people before him or herself. It is someone who is humble and never proud; someone who tries their best to never judge others, but helps them regardless of their deeds and words. A hero can be someone who overcame struggles and never lost hope; someone who encouraged others when he or she was losing hope him or herself. Someone who takes on a challenge with all that they have, even when they didn’t ask for the responsibility to be placed upon them. To me, a hero is not someone that feels the need to prove themselves to others, but someone that feels the need to prove to themselves what they can accomplish. My personal heroes are my family and friends that have battled or are battling cancer, those of which are by far the bravest people that I have ever met. Their drive and determination are admirable, and are qualities that I hope that I would have if faced with the same situation. In my opinion, one's perserverance and altruism is what truly makes someone a hero.

An Inspirational Hero

A hero can be defined as someone who inspires in his everyday life with his selfless ways. Grounded firmly in what he knows is right, a hero would begin to leave his mark at earliest ages of his life. He would have to be well equipped with the knowledge he needs to succeed at whatever he does. His knowledge and leadership would help him to be wise and strong. So, when troubles arise, he will have the will to overcome. Most importantly, his driving force or passion would be the respect that he has for the people around him. Abraham Lincoln once said, “ If you want to test a man’s character, give him power.” So, my hero would not be one to flaunt his strengths. My hero is the ultimate hero-- Jesus Christ. Jesus is the light. He has inspired and paved the way for not just me, but billions of people. It was out of his eternal love for us that he died on the cross to forgive us for our sins. Obviously, Jesus was different from what an everyday hero would be. He is all divine, all powerful, and perfect, but he showed us what it is like to be a hero. He showed us that the legacy we leave behind has the power to change lives.

The Ultimate Hero

When the word hero is said, many think of  famous fictional characters with superpowers. Yet when you look up the word hero the definition is nothing like that at all. I believe that Jesus Christ is the ultimate hero. When the world was dark and full of hatred he came to the rescue. He paid the price for our sins and gave his life for us. He went through the most excrutiatingly painful death so that we, sinners, could be forgiven. He had more bravery than I could even imagine. The way he lived his life here on earth was heroic. He showed care and compassion to the outcasts, the beggars and even the cheaters and liars. That takes a true hero to care about every single person every day. He is the one true hero because he did not have one bit of pride or arrogance about anything he did or accomplished. I know I cannot ever even come close to being the hero Jesus was, but I can get closer and closer every day when he is my example.

Real Heroes Do Not Fly

According to Webster, a hero would be defined as a person of distinguished courage or ability. They are known for the great feats they have accomplished or the good deeds they have done. When thinking of a hero, most people see a man in a cape and tights flying around a busy city saving innocent people from the stereotypical “bad guy”. I would like to think that anyone has the potential to be a hero, no powers or capes included. But just as much as someone has the potential to be a hero, they have the ability to be a bad guy. There is one characteristic that separates the two: The willingness to put other’s needs above your own and make sacrifices so innocent people can live safely. A hero not only protects the people he knows, but he protects everyone.

Contrary to belief, heroes are only human and, therefore, make mistakes. A hero may be vain, curious, or just plain lazy. This is their fatal flaw, as every hero has one. Their fatal flaw is usually what hinders or defeats the hero in reaching his or her goal. Also, the hero himself usually creates his worst enemy. As was evident in The Odyssey, Odysseus created his own worst enemy by claiming that it was he, himself, who defeated Troy without any recognition towards Poseidon for his help. To punish Odysseus, Poseidon prolongs his journey home by setting many obstacles in his path.

Overall, heroes in my definition are only noble human beings who are willing to sacrifice for others to protect the innocent. Heroes can be found among us. Our servicemen are great examples of everyday heroes because they are willing to lay down their lives so that us, as Americans, can enjoy the freedom that few other countries can even begin to know.

No Capes Required

Is a hero someone who is brave, smart, or always saves the day? Sometimes heroes are like that, but not always. Some heroes save the day by giving their lives, some by giving their time and money, others by giving their love or kindness. A hero to me is someone who is kind, nice and helps someone in need. We have soldiers who go across oceans just to protect our country's freedom, they are the big heroes around here. To a homeless person, a hero might be someone who gave them a meal. The recent tragedy in Tucson, Arizona is a great example of how everyday heroes do not need capes. The news has reported that while the gunman tried to reload his gun, some people there jumped on him. This brave act may have saved the lives of many people. To the families of those who came out of the shooting alive, these people have forever changed their lives. They may have been spared the devastation that the victims' families are feeling right now. A hero needs no cape to feed the hungry, comfort the lonely, or save the lives of total strangers. We can all make the choice to be a hero in our everyday lives, opportunities are all around us.

Capes, Tights, and Underwear

In movies, books, legends, and even bedtime stories (pretty much everywhere,) heroes are normally portrayed as wearing underwear over tights with long capes with super powers to die for and a secret identity. Let's face it. There is no such thing as flying humans, lightening speed, mind readers, X-ray vision, or super strength, yet this world is not comepletely hero free. Heroes are just around every corner without tights, capes, and visible underwear. Superhuman powers aren't required to be a hero. Anyone who is kind, corageous, courteous, thoughtful, or selfless has the potential to be a hero. A hero could be someone who does something as simple as a firefighter getting a cat from a tree or something as big as a doctor performing life saving surgery on a patient. I think my brother is an everyday hero. He is an EMT so he works on an ambulance and rushes to save people everyday. I'm sure a lot of families are thankful because if it weren't for him, their loved one may have not survived. A hero is not really what the stories, legends, movies, and books symbolize it as. It is making a difference, no matter how small, that impacts a person's life.

The Ultimate Hero

When most people hear the word "hero" they immediately think of fictional characters such as Superman, Batman, or Spider-man. People usually imagine flying men with capes and super-strength. I personally believe that a hero can be anyone that will go to extremes to help other people and shows unbelievable bravery. But they do not always have to show bravery; they can be someone that preforms extraordinary tasks daily to save lives. I think there are many different types of heroes. A hero will put other people's needs first and are remarkably selfless. Excellent examples of heroes would be firemen, policemen, and doctors. Also, heroes can be average, everyday people that are only heroes to certain people. Such as a father to a son, a teacher to a student, or an older sibling to a younger sibling. These people are always there to give help when it is needed and can have a huge impact on one's life. But to me, the ultimate hero is a soldier because they not only risk their lives everyday, but they also have to leave their families and friends to move to a foreign country. This sacrifice shows just how much other peoples lives mean to them, and how much they are willing to give up to save and protect the people of their country. They know that they are putting their lives in danger at all times. They are not forced to do what they do, but simply volunteer to put their lives at risk, with no knowledge of when they will return to their safe home, if they return at all. Soldiers, to me, are the epitome of heroes because of all of their selflessness, courage, and willingness to die for others. No matter who you are; a policeman, firefighter, doctor, or simply a teacher, you can be a hero by making an impact on someone's life.

Heroes Around the Corner

My definition of a hero is someone who is self sacrificing; who puts other’s needs before his own, without regard for his own safety or personal recognition. Heroes come in many shapes and sizes. They can be someone like a teacher going above and beyond for their students, maybe a fireman who rushes into a burning house to save a child, or maybe someone who’s willing to give time to get groceries for someone that is unable to do these tasks on their own. Heroes don’t have to be people in tights and a cape like superman. It could be a doctor who finds cures to save lives. The everyday heroes don’t have to have a super power like being able to run “faster than a speeding bullet.” People can save lives without these powers. They just need to be kind and able to encourage and inspire. When no hope is left they are still standing there supporting you and giving you encouragement. Sometimes the hero you get isn’t always going to be the hero you expect or expected. A hero could be right around the corner and you might not know it. Heroes are wonderful people inspiring, saving, and helping those in need.

Not always Superman

When you think of a hero and someone asks you to define it in your own words, it is kind of difficult to come up with something, because a hero could be so many things. The Webster definition of a hero is a person of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. I personally do not think a hero is always just someone who is brave or noble. To be a hero you don’t have to wear tights, have a cape, or have superpowers. A hero could be an everyday person like you and I. Whether you are doing something for a city, flying through the air like Superman to fight off evil villains, or doing something for just one person, like sticking up for a classmate who is being picked on you could very well be a hero. You could also be a hero by simply just being a friend to someone and cheering them up when they are down. All those things, whether big or small, could make you a hero in someone’s eyes. A hero is usually very selfless, someone who does stuff for other people without wanting anything in return. To be a hero they must have a lot of love in their heart. The love gives them the inspiration to do a good deed. Their courage gives them the strength and determination to actually make a difference. So whether you are a firefighter, policeman, teacher, a superhero, or simply just a friend you have the power to make a difference and to be a hero.

What a Hero Means to Me

According to the dictionary, a hero is a person especially a man, admired for courage, nobility, etc. My definition of the word hero is someone who is courageous, selfless, and is extremely brave. A hero is someone who everyone looks up to and wants to be like. When we were younger, we looked up to and thought that comical heroes were our heroes. But as we grew older we began to understand that a hero is someone who is greater than superman and all the other super heroes. We began to realize that the heroes in our lives are the people that have impacted and affected our daily lives. Heroes will drop everything that they are doing and will aid all the people around them. They can be anyone, not just someone special or someone who has special skills. Just recently, there was a shooting in Tucson, Arizona, at a "Congress on Your Corner" event. Approximately 19 innocent people were wounded, and 6 of them were killed. Of the 19, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head. The gunman was tackled as he attempted to reload his firearm. Two men and a woman were able to hold him down until the police came. One of the men was already wounded, but he still held the man down. Many people also aided the injured and wounded, including Congresswoman Giffords. One of her interns came to the Congresswoman’s aid, and helped save her life until they took her to the hospital. If it was not for this intern, the Congresswoman would not be alive. These everyday people were worried more about the safety of others and their acts helped save many more lives. These common citizens in Tucson risked their safety to help others. I would classify them as heroes.

The Heroes Who Wear No Costumes Nor Possess Super Powers

In "The Amazing Spider-Man" (Vol. 2) #36, it reflects the real-life events of September 11, 2001. Joseph Michael Straczynski, also know as the author of "The Amazing Spider-Man," wrote this issue of his comic, "But with our costumes and our powers we are writ small by the true heroes. Those who face fire without fear or armor. Those who step into the darkness without assurances of ever walking out again, because they know there are others waiting in the dark. Awaiting salvation. Awaiting word. Awaiting justice. Ordinary men. Ordinary women." Spider-man comes to realize that not all heroes possess great powers. People like police officers, fire fighters, and military personnel do not have to wear costumes or posses super powers to be a hero. In my book, people who protect our safety for to risk theirs are definitely heroes! One who lays down his or her own safety without the consult of their own protection is my definition of a hero. Someone who helps without anticipating anything in return, just as Spider-Man had come to recognize, displays qualities of a hero. Their gestures might be immense, undersized, thoughtful, or not; it does not make them any less of a hero.
