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.
