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.
