What makes someone a hero?

            There are many definitions that might give someone the title of “hero.” But, I think that a hero is rather a generic term. Although most people could not argue that Superman of Batman is not a hero, there is many super people in the world that go unrecognized. For example, doctors and firemen save lives almost each and every day. Although they may not have laser vision or super strength, they still have admirable qualities that save lives. Some qualities that they might have are courage, compassion and the desire to do good. To have courage on ones character is worth more than all the gold in the world. It can save lives and better society as a whole. To have compassion is the ability to understand other’s wants and needs and balance them with the overall good. The desire to do good in society is one of those life saving and miraculous qualities. Even if you have laser vision, who can stop you from doing evil? This is my definition of a hero.
