What a hero is to me!

When I hear the word “hero” the first thing that pops into my head is somebody like Superman or maybe a police officer helping somebody. A hero is a man of distinguished courage or ability admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities according to the dictionary. In my eyes a hero is anybody that is brave and helps people out whenever they need the help. They also need to have good people skills. To me a hero is can be anyone, from your parents to a local fire fighter. Anybody can be a hero; some people just choose not to be. Your hero may be your pastor or the president. The biggest hero in my life would have to be my dad; he is a homicide detective and a great dad. Without him I do not know what I would do. I know I would never be brave enough to chase after killers for my job. He protects my sister and me and helps us when we need it. He is not some super hero like in the stories but he is a hero to me. This is what a hero is to me.
