Spiderman, Superman, Or My Grandmother?

What is a hero based on my definition? When a young child hears the word hero they think of Spiderman or Superman. Yet, to me a hero isn’t always someone who saves a bystander from a building collapsing. To me, a hero could also be someone who would go out of their way to help you, even in the most trivial situations. I have grown to learn that the greatest hero I have ever personally known is my own grandmother. She gets up every day to work with the special education students at her school. When I visit her there I find her teaching these “special” children the right way to pronounce a word. Sometimes, even the way to announce you must go to the restroom. Even though she does not admit to it, she helps these children in more ways than you can possibly fathom. The thought of having the patience is very hard for me to comprehend. She has come home having sprained her wrist trying to save one of her children from the bullying of another student. To me this is the true act of a hero and my grandmother is the ultimate example.
