No Cape Needed

   When you hear the word “hero,” someone wearing a costume and fighting a villain with their superpowers comes to mind. But Spiderman and Batman aren’t the only ones who can be classified as heroes. A hero is someone willing to help another person despite the risks. Heroes are selfless in my opinion. Matthew 6:3 says,”But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.” This verse reminds me of a hero because it is saying good deeds should not be done so that you can boast about them. Heroes don’t help people for rewards or appreciation but because it is the right thing to do. In life, you have your stereotypical heroes, like a soldier who refuses to leave his injured conrad behind in battle. There are also the unnoticed heroes you might pass by every day, like a kid standing up for someone in a school hallway. Whether ten years old or grown adult, a person can still be a hero. Whether a full blown act of courage or a simple act of kindness, the deed is still heroic in my eyes. Capes and swords don’t define heroes; their actions and character do.
