Whats a Hero?

What does a hero mean today? A hero can mean someone that is always there for you,or someone that is helping out the community such as a policeman or a fireman. Well a hero to mean means that when someone does things for the right reason all the time,even when no one is looking and is always a hard worker. Well my uncle, named Eric Wilkes is my hero. He is my hero because he helps people know about Jesus Christ and he loves to do it and he does it anywhere and anytime. He would give a homeless person his shirt off of his back or give them money to get one,if they ask for one. He is just a type of person that loves everyone and never judges anyone. He also gives back to our church,such as giving them money, playing in the band on Sundays night,and during fundraiser helping out as much as he can. He told me story's when he was in Junior high that when a little guy got pick on by a bigger guy he would stick up for the littler guy,cause he knew it was not right to pick on someone. I wish I had the courage and bravery to stick up for kids getting picked on at school,cause I see it all the time and I know Eric would want me to. If that is not a good meaning of a hero then I do not know what is!
