The Unrecognizable



       Anyone can be a hero depending on the action he does. Many people mistake heroes only as Superman, Batman, Spider man, etc., but people you see everyday could be a true hero and you never realize it. To me, a hero is someone who does something significant for the benefit of others. A commonly know hero is a fireman, a police man, or a doctor, but there is a much larger variety than that. The qualities of a hero can be things such as courage, generosity, and mental strength.  A hero with courage could be anyone willing to help in dangerous situations. The best example of a courageous hero would be a soldier, simply because they put their lives at risk to keep our country safe and free. In my eyes, everyone who is generous is a hero. People who donate time and money to charity organizations are true heroes. They give their time and money to people they will most likely never even meet just because it’s the right thing to do.  Mental strength is the most important quality a hero can have. If he has strategy and compassion for something, he can do anything he sets his mind to, including saving other peoples life before his own. A hero will most likely go unrecognized simply because he does not boast. A hero who brags does not do something “good” for the well being of the other person, rather than for the attention for himself.

  1. That is a very good way of viewing a hero. I like your view on mental strength being the most important quality of a hero.

  2. I completely agree with you. I feel like the people who do the small things that make a big difference are hardly recognized as being a "hero." How can one generous person be a hero because they were generous on a larger scale, as opposed to another, less extravagant, generous person?
