An Unlikely Hero

When you ask most people what a hero is, they would tell you someone who defeats bad guys and saves the city, like Superman or Batman. Others might tell you parents, teachers, or firefighters. A hero can be anything. To me, heroes are brave, kind, more concerned of others than of themselves. If that is someone with superhuman strength wearing tights, so be it. I think heroes are more everyday people that you can find most anywhere. My hero is my great aunt. She has raised her children, and her grandchildren. She never complains and assures everyone else is settled before becoming comfortable herself. She is currently in the battle of a lifetime. She handles it with the utmost grace and serenity. To do all of this and still have the kind spirit she does makes her someone one of the bravest, most heroic people I know. She exemplifies what a true hero is: brave, tireless, caring, and kind.
