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.
