Heroism is In All of Us

Heroism to me is someone you rely on, and someone who helps you in a crisis; big or small. I have encountered many heroes in my life time. My whole family is made up of heroes. My parents have spent their money and time on feeding me, clothing me, and giving me a house to live under. This just shows you how important heroes are in the world. No matter what happens you will always have a hero there for you. Heroes can be the ones in fairy tales, like the prince who saved Rapunzel. Also, heroes can be firefighters, police, doctors, teachers, and basically anyone who helps the community. A very important hero would be someone serving our country in the Arm. A hero can also be a leader of a country, state, or city. Heroes come in all different shapes and sizes. If it was brought upon them, a child can be a hero. There are many stories that people hear about heroes and knights. These stories may seem like a fantasy but the heroes and knight of the real world do exists. Who know you may someday be a hero. Heroism is in all of us, you just have to find it.

The Heroes Who Wear No Costumes Nor Possess Super Powers

In "The Amazing Spider-Man" (Vol. 2) #36, it reflects the real-life events of September 11, 2001. Joseph Michael Straczynski, also know as the author of "The Amazing Spider-Man," wrote this issue of his comic, "But with our costumes and our powers we are writ small by the true heroes. Those who face fire without fear or armor. Those who step into the darkness without assurances of ever walking out again, because they know there are others waiting in the dark. Awaiting salvation. Awaiting word. Awaiting justice. Ordinary men. Ordinary women." Spider-man comes to realize that not all heroes possess great powers. People like police officers, fire fighters, and military personnel do not have to wear costumes or posses super powers to be a hero. In my book, people who protect our safety for to risk theirs are definitely heroes! One who lays down his or her own safety without the consult of their own protection is my definition of a hero. Someone who helps without anticipating anything in return, just as Spider-Man had come to recognize, displays qualities of a hero. Their gestures might be immense, undersized, thoughtful, or not; it does not make them any less of a hero.
