Making a Difference

Everybody’s opinions on heroes are different. Some say a hero is not made, he is born, but I think someone cannot just automatically wake up a hero. That person has to work hard to achieve a hero status, which is kind of the point of a hero. Anyone can try their best to make it all the way to the top, but a true hero will go above and beyond to be the best. I firmly believe everyone has a small part of them that can achieve greatness, but so many people do not put it to use. Someone who is a hero does not have to be obvious, sometimes the best heroes work behind the scenes. Anyone from a missionary traveling across the world to save people’s lives to a doctor working to find a cure for cancer can be considered a hero in my eyes. A heroic deed, like a hero, does not have to be huge. It can be giving money away to charity or stopping by a work site building houses for homeless people. Heroes have certain qualities that make them special, for example, loyalty and courage, or strength and wit. A hero does not always save the day and give every story a happy ending. Every effort counts and a hero knows how to do his best using his talents special qualities. No matter how a hero chooses to use these qualities, he will ultimately achieve the same thing; making a difference where a change is needed most.
