A Hero

I think that most people put too much thought into what a hero truely is. In my opinion, a hero is simply someone you can look up to or that you can admire. That person may be admired because they save other's lives, because of their courage to stand up for what they believe in or simply because they listen to other people's problems and are there to comfort them. My hero would have to be my youth minister. He is always there for me and everyone else in out youth group, even other members in the church. He gives up his free time for people with the need of his assisttance. He puts himself last and others first. He is also a very Godly man which is the main reason I look up to him. I strive to be like him as far as being a servant goes. One day when I get older, I want people to look up to me and see me as their hero. One way I can do that is by following in my youth minister's footsteps. I hope that you too will strive to be a hero so that people will look up to you and say, "Wow! I want to be like them some day!" Those are some of the most powerful words that someone can say to you. You never know who's watching you and that person might want to be just like you some day.

The Little Things That Make A Hero.

Some people define a hero literally, as a superhero, someone who wears tights and protects the world from evildoers. Other people use the word to describe a police officer or a fireman since they risk their lives everyday to save others. In my opinion though, a person doesn't have to put their life at risk to be considered a hero. I think that a hero is simply a person who isn't afraid to break away from the crowd and do what they think is right. Even if what that person does is something little, like defending a person who is being picked on, in my eyes they would be considered a hero just for that. For example, my one hero is my aunt Dana. She is a strong independent woman who lives the life that she thinks is right and isn't at all affected by what others think of that. She has taken all of the hardships life has thrown at her and gone with it. This woman is the type of person who can provide for her own children and at the same take in another child and treat them as if they were her own. To me, this is what I would consider a heroic act, just doing what you know is right.

What is a hero?

According to Webster's, the definition of a hero is a person noted for feats of courage or nobility, one who risked or sacrificed his life. In my opinion, a hero is self-less, courageous, and does not care about getting the credit for something they did. What makes someone a hero is stepping up when someone, or our country is in danger. September 11, 2001. The passengers on Flight 93 had heard about the attacks on the World Trade Center and knew hijackers were on their plane. The passengers took the terrorists down and the plane crashed in Pennsylvania instead of its original destination, Washington D.C. The passengers on that plane did not know when they got on the plane that they were going to die, but they were willing to sacrifice themselves, to save many.

Also when I think of heroes, I think about our soldiers. No one made them volunteer for the military, it was their choice. Every single day they put their lives on the line for our country. Thats what I call a her0. Other examples of American heroes are Abraham Lincoln, Clara Barton, Ronald Reagan, George Washington and so many more. However, a hero is not always someone who changed our country, but someone who changes lives everyday. Firemen, policemen and astronauts do not always get recognized for their heroism. A hero is someone who takes a stand to defend and protect the people of America. Without heroes, our country would not be the greatest country on earth.

A hero...?

Everyone has their hero, but what exactly is a hero? Who would be your hero? A hero should be someone who inspired someone to go in the right direction, takes responsibility for their actions, and always putting others before themselves. A person who leads you in the right direction when you don't know which path to choose is someone who is a hero. Someone who is worth looking up to for their leadership. Secondly someone who's a hero would always take responsibility for their wrong doings. Heroes would never blame others for they have caused and takes the punishment. Lastly another heroic trait should be someone is constantly putting themselves after everyone else. An example of a hero would be a soldier who is fighting in Iraq. They went to Iraq to fight for people in the United States. They don't even know half the people in the United States but they are willing to put themselves after us to keep us safe from danger. A hero would always be able to help someone go towards the better direction, taking responsibility, and putting others first.

My Hero

To me, a hero is someone who makes the right decision under difficult circumstances. They also are brave and smart. A hero is someone who can think for themselves and not be pressured or persuaded by the opinions of others. A hero sets an example for everyone. Someone in the military is the best example of a hero I can think of. They risk their lives so we can be free as Americans. Other heros have little kids that look up to them and say “I wanna be like them one day!” To me, I respect them and if they talk to me I will listen to every word they say. They are people too, but when they are pressured they always know what to do. I would love to be a hero one day. I would also like for people to remember my name. But, for now I am here respecting the greatness of the ones who make our lives a better place.

A Hero

A hero can be a definition of many different things. To me a hero is someone who has changed a person's life. Everyday, someone around the world is performing an act of heroism. Some characteristics that a hero has are courage and faith. Having courage makes you a strong and independent person. Firemen and policemen are people who are courages everyday of their lives. Having faith are in those people who know their doing a good deed, and no matter what, God is with them. Other characteristics that a hero has are honesty and morals. Being honest, is not always the easiest thing, but a true hero never lies, no matter what the situation is. A hero, has morals/standards they set for themselves, that they must fulfill. Everyone can be a hero; just give it time and your day will come.

Hero

Hero is a complicated word. It can have many meanings, and can describe a wide variety of people. Some would say a hero is someone who puts their life on the line to help people, while others say that a hero is someone that is always there for them. To me, there is one type of hero that people seem to forget about. This type of heroism is even harder sometimes than going to war or saving someone from a fire. It is simply standing up for what you believe in. I think of a guy like Tim Tebow. I know there is a lot of hype about him and it might get aggravating to hear people talk about him all the time, but of all the people in the world, it takes a lot of guts for a guy like him to stand up for what he believes. He is said to be one the best (if not the best) college football players of all time, so the spotlight is constantly on him. Yet in a generation that tends to frown upon anything involving God or religion in general, Tebow is still an active voice in the gospel. It would be very easy for a big hot-shot superstar like him to go along with the evils of this world, and get caught up in himself. But no, he lives a life for Christ instead. After his Heisman ceremony his sophmore year, instead of going out partying and celebrating with his friends, he jumped on a plane and headed for the Phillipines to do mission work. That is what I believe a hero is. Someone who is not ashamed to stand for Christ.

Romans 1:16 - For I am not ashamed of the Lord Jesus Christ

What makes a hero?

Personally, I think the word hero sets boundaries in our minds. When we hear this word, we flashback to the super-heroes on the cartoons we used to watch. In reality, heroes are everyday people doing everyday acts of kindness. When I think of what a true hero is, the words loyal and selfless come to my mind. Heroes are reliable people who give you a shoulder to cry on and a hand to hold. They give you advice and brighten your day. My heroes are my parents and friends. When I have a rough day, I can trust that they are there for me. Although these acts may not seem heroic, they may make all the difference in somebody's day. The deeds come from their heart and they do not do it for attention. Heroes share their time and effort on daily bases. They want to lend a hand out of generosity. Everybody relies on people like these. I believe this compassion makes the world go round. These are the traits of our daily heroes through my eyes.

What Makes a Hero

When people think of the word hero, they usually think of someone with super powers. They think of fictional figures like Spiderman and Superman. However, when I think of a hero, I picture different groups of people. I think of policemen who risk their lives trying to cut down crime. They protect us from burglars, murderers, and other criminals. I also think of firemen who put their lives on the line every day to protect other citizens. Of course, America's true heroes are its soldiers who are over seas fighting for their country. Not all heroes however have to put their lives at stake to be a hero. I consider the New Orleans Saints to be heroes for the citizens of New Orleans. After Katrina, all Louisiana saw was defeat, but the Saints gave the city new life. heroes are all around us everyday. They may not have super powers, or wear fancy outfits, but they are heroes just the same.

Strenghs of A Hero

A hero can be defined in many different ways. Some may say a hero is someone who saves lives on a daily basis and others may imagine someone strong and brave. Many people have the common misconception that this definition, or one that runs along the same lines, are the absolute characteristics that establish a hero. I think a hero is anyone willing to sacrifice their time and effort in order to assist various people in a place they may physically, mentally or emotionally struggle. Someone who teaches a person to ride a bike or tutors them in Algebra or even encourages someone who has trouble feeling accepted, these are all examples of heroes. You don’t have to be tall or strong or cool to be a hero. Everyone has the ability to be some sort of hero. It is not limited by shape, or by size, or by status, but by the compassion and effort you put forth to consistently help others. Some people are heroes by profession and others by choice. More or less a hero by choice or by profession is a hero all the same. Using your own strengths to help the weak is a common method used by heroes. So go out and take the time to make a positive impact on someone else’s daily life. Use your strengths to be a hero.

What Makes Someone a Hero?

When people hear the word hero, images of over-muscular men with square chins and tight suits come to mind. To me, a hero is someone who does something courageous in other's life that means a whole lot to them. A hero can be a trained surgeon in the emergency room saving someone's life, to someone who goes out of their way to be nice to you. In my life, I have experienced the works of several heros. One of them would be my best friend. She has been here to support me through everything and she always knows what to say to me in every situation. Another hero of mine would be my older teammates that encourage me, give me advice, and inspire me to work hard. Everyday I meet a new hero by someone simply lending me a pencil in class when no one else will, to someone who compliments me. Heros do not always have to be life changers, but just life motivators or inspirators. I know I would not be the same person I am today if I did not receive those gestures from my heros. A hero is someone who helps or encourages someone without realizing it. Heros make the world a better place.

What Makes A Hero

When you think of heroes, the first thing that pops into your head is probably those fictional characters you have heard about like superman or spiderman. In reality, there are heroes all around us. There are heroes everywhere you go. For instance, teachers are one of my heroes. They work hard to teach me everything I know so I can grow up to have a successful life. They may teach us educational things, but they also teach us other skills we need to survive in the real world. They teach us to be respectful towards others and to always work hard. Sometimes we may give them a hard time, but they always put up with us anyway. Even when we do not understand something, they go out of their way to help us to understand it. I know for sure that I could not understand half of the things they taught me by myself. With their help, we will grow up and someday help others also. Heroes are everyone that has helped us in our lives. They are the ones that help us reach our goals.

A Hero.

The word "hero" is a big misconception. Most people think a hero is someone on cartoon shows with powers and beats up villians. But in reality a hero could be anyone. Good examples of everyday heroes are a police man catching the bad guys, or firefighters saving people from fires. It can even be your mom or dad because they support you in life and give you the nesscessities. You, yourself could even be a hero too by doing little things in life like helping an elderly person at the store. Heroes are everywhere around us even when we don't see them. They help people out when they don't even have to be asked. Some even put their life on the line for people they may not even know and that is a real hero to me. People need to take a step back in life and learn a thing or two from these real life heroes. And we could make this place better, one hero at a time.

What makes a hero?

Heroes can be found just about anywhere you look. Heroes are not just people like superman or spiderman. You do not need super powers to become a hero. Heroes are people who help others in their time of need or help make a change. You can become a hero by just simply adding money to a charity or working a few hours at an animal shelter. Recycling could even make you a hero because you are helping to save the environment. Even though there are many heroes in this world, my hero is my grandmother. Before my grandmother passed away from her fight with cancer, she always loved helping and doing good deeds for others. She was always extremely kind and generous. She always put others before her and would do anything just to help someone. She even took in and cared for an old abandoned dog that could barely hear or see. The dog's jaw was broken and it looked as if it only had a few days left. She never gave up on her new pet and nurtured it back to health. The dog is still alive today because of my grandmother. Even though my grandmother has died, her memories will be carried out by all the lives she has touched during her lifetime.

Heroes

Heroes are much more common than you might think. Most people think of someone who saves people when they think of a hero. But you can still be a hero without saving anyone. If someone gives someone hope or help them with anything, it still makes them a hero. Heroes are people who are not afraid to put other people ahead of them, and they don’t want any glory for doing it. You shouldn’t help people for your glory; you should help them for theirs. A hero isn’t someone who lies to become famous for some heroic deed that they didn’t even do, or someone who only helps people knowing that someone would see and give them a reward. They should help just out of kindness, or to be a good person. Someone could be a hero by just volunteering to help someone with a task that is difficult for them. A hero can be brave like a fireman, caring like a priest, or helping like a father. Anything that someone does for another person would be considered a heroic act. Just remember, you should do it for their glory, not yours.
