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.
