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.
