Heroes Walk Among Us

     We all know what a hero is, but do we really know who a hero can be? Sure, there are the obvious heroes like Superman, and firefighters, but those are just the first things that pop into your head when you think the word 'hero,' but there are so many more. Not all heroes wear tights over their underwear, or have super strength. Appearances don't make a person a hero, a person's actions do. Anyone can be a hero, and a hero can be anywhere. A hero can be found in hospitals, people like doctors, surgeons, and nurses save lives every day. In Afghanistan, our army is fighting for our country, they are heroes as well. But a hero can also be a brother, a sister, a friend, and maybe even an enemy. A hero, by my definition, is anyone who has ever helped anyone in anyway, shape or form. We may not realize it, but our society is made up of heroes, along with our schools, our communities, even our homes. Although Superman can kick serious butt, the people that make up our community are the real heroes. Without heroes, we wouldn't be living the way we do today.
