My Hero

The word hero is usually used to describe someone swooping in to save the day. Being able to fly, or run super fast are not the specialties a hero has to obtain. A hero, in my opinion, is someone I admire for their special qualities, and the sacrifices they make for the good of others. A true hero shows bravery at the darkest of times. They have the courage to stand up for what is right, when no one else will! Heroes do not back down when times are difficult, they keep fighting until they succeed. Many people have these characteristics, and are heroes without even noticing! There are heroes everywhere doing everyday things. A hero could be a person standing up to a bully, or someone simply bringing a hot meal to someone unable to make one them self. To me, my friends and family are my heroes because they are there for me. They pick me up whenever I fall, give me a boost to get through life, and when I need advice and someone to talk to they will be there. They are my heroes!
