Making the Cut

            If you were to ask a group of people what their definition of a hero was, you would have a group of different answers. In my opinion, a hero is someone who keeps fighting for what he believes in. He doesn’t give up on his dreams or goals, even with the negativity and doubt some people might put towards him. I also feel, that to keep himself going, a true hero will share some accomplishments with people and charities as he works to become successful. Even after he succeeds, a hero will share some of his success, always express how thankful he is to the people who supported him from day one, and motivate others to accomplish their dreams. Being a hero isn’t all about saving lives, wearing some ridiculous outfit, or having comic books written about them. A hero can be anyone like a single mom who works all day, trying to give her two children a good education and keep a roof over their head. I feel that in order for people to think of you as a hero, you first have to believe that you are one. For example, if a teenager works all his school life striving to be successful, becomes valedictorian of his graduating class, gained respect because he pushed himself and believed in himself, or in other words he was a hero to himself.. A hero is someone who inspires people to follow their dreams and is someone you can look up to. A hero can be anyone, in any form. So believe in yourself, and become your own hero.
