Hero
Everyone has a hero, whether it is Superman, your mom or dad, a solider, or even a movie star or athlete. But strength, courage, or even fame and fortune are not the only qualities that make a hero. To me, a hero is someone who stands up and fights for what they believe in. Today, very few people stick up for what they believe in because they are afraid of what people will think of them, if its something little like a band they like or something bigger, like their morals, or even God. That’s why Gandhi is my hero. He brought peace to India in a time of civil unrest. He did not care what the consequences were, in fact because of his actions he spent many years in jail. I believe anyone can be a hero if they just do something little as standing up for someone, or something they believe in.
What is a hero?
To me, a hero is someone who will be there for you and gives you advice whenever you need it. They show you light when you are in darkness. A Christian, in my eyes, is one of the biggest heroes ever. They are true heroes because they spread the word of God to people who may or may not have ever heard of him. Christians help people no matter who they are or what they have done. A true hero is someone who lifts you up when you are down. Everyone sees heroes in their own different ways. Most people say their moms and dads are their heroes because they raised them to be who they are today. Or others would say firemen and policemen are their heroes because they get rid of the dangers in the world. A hero has no definite definition, they are who you think they are. And to me, Christians are my heroes.
Hero to Me
A hero will always mean something different to everyone. Some might think of cartoons and comics, and others might think of someone in their life. But to me a hero can be described in many ways. Being a hero takes true dedication of a person's time. Also, being able to help a person in a way where the task, it's a favor and not a chore, is a hero. The hero, after doing the task, would not ask for anything in return. Only a simple jester of happiness from the person that was helped, knowing that he/she made a difference. A hero would never be selfish or rude, only the opposite. A hero would be inviting and would always have a positive approach on life, even in the worst case scenario. Also, a hero can be someone that gives you good advice on what you need help on. Also, heroes will always put others first and will have a great part of being responsible, for themselves and others. Heroes can be easy to find or hard to find. Some heroes may be overlooked each day and some might be around you all the time, like a friend or family. In conclusion, a hero to me will always end the day with a positive perspective and a smile. :)
My Heroine
They say a hero is someone who always does the right thing. The way I see it, there is little truth in that statement. I have not ever in my life met anyone who had never made a mistake. Although it might be cliche, nobody is perfect. George Washington may be seen as a hero to some, but he did cut down his father's cherry tree. Spiderman saved many people in his movie, but he did let revenge get the best of him. Do not get me wrong, people that mess up can still be heroes. In fact, that can actually make them even more of a hero. When someone makes a wrong decision that gives others the opportunity to learn from their decision. My hero is my sister, Rebecca. She saved me from drowning when I was two years old. At the age of 21, believe me, my sister has made her share of mistakes. However, she has always been there for me, even if she has more important personal needs. In my eyes, that is what makes someone a hero.
Everyday Heroes
When most people hear the word "hero" they may think of someone with super strength, or speed. But there are heroes all around us. Everyday people. People you might bump into on your way to class each day. When I hear the word "hero" I visualize a smart, respected, and nice person. My hero, is my best friend, Josh. He is himself around everyone he knows. He's confident, but not cocky. He's smart, but doesn't gloat about it. He speaks his mind, but he's kind about it. He's repectful, and he gets respect in return. He's helpful, and is always there when I need him. When I think of a hero, I think of him. He's an all around, great person. Even if he doesn't have x-ray vision, or the ability to fly.
Heros
When most people think of a hero they think of spider man or superman. But I think a hero should have a more realistic persona. I believe any person who is a responsible, respectable and kind person can be a hero to someone. The most important quality in a hero would be the fact that they can be a good role model to others.My role model is my best friend, Jamie. She is a an athletic, confident, smart and a strong minded person. She is willing to stand up for what she believes in, which is another quality that makes her a person i wish I could be. Jamie gives great advise and has really helped me excel at life. She has helped me with many things no one else would. Jamie is a really great friend, nice and responsible person, which are the main reasons i choose her as my hero. A hero should be a person who is able to give you advise and help whenever your in need of it most. A hero should be a good role model, nice, respectable and responsible person. A hero should be someone you look up to, someone you could strive to be like. A hero should be someone you could actually be, not like superman or spider man with super powers, someone with qualities you would like to have.
Heroes in our lives...
There are many people we call heroes, but what does that really mean? To me, a hero is a person who will always do the right thing. They pose as good role models for the people around them. They are the people that take risks for the sake of others' health and well-being. The people who put aside themselves, their belongings, or just their time are heroes. Honestly though, a hero doesn't even really have to take any risks, to me, they just have to do something good for someone else. Such as donating to charity, or helping a neighbor move a heavy box. Heroes help people, even if they don't know who their helping is. So a hero can be anything from a police officer to a marine, or even a community volunteer. Anyone can be a hero, just by taking time to do something for the good of someone else. Disaster workers, soldiers, and doctors are all heroes, because they go out of their way to help the people around them in need. So if you're in need, there is almost always going to be someone out there to help.
who are heroes?
My definition of a hero is someone who helps people physically, emotionally or spiritually on a day to day basis. A hero does not have to be someone who stops a crashing bullet train with their bare hands or someone who puts a terrorist, who is trying to blow up a 747, in a headlock. They just have to be a person who touches another person’s life. A hero can be anything from a firefighter to a personal trainer. Heroes can be big or small, short or tall. Heroes feel they have to personally act to make the world a better place. They are not just going to sit back and wait for other people to do it. When a massive earthquake turned the country of Haiti to shambles, heroes immediately went into action. Doctors and nurses abandoned their jobs to go and treat the thousands of wounded victims that had no other help. Countless numbers of people would have died without their service. Most of them even did it without any pay. They are truly heroes.
Hero
The word hero has many different meanings. To me a hero is someone you can look up to. They are the people you can trust and the ones who are always there for you. A hero comes to the rescue and helps in times of trouble. Heroes are the people who do great things for others. When hearing the word hero you may think of a fireman pulling someone from a burning building or a police officer keeping the community safe at night, but in reality anyone can be a hero. It could be anyone from an astronaut going to space for the first time to a soldier who’s away at war fighting for his country. We’re surrounded by heroes’ everyday. You don’t have to be famous or receive a big paycheck to be considered a hero. Some of the greatest heroes are simple everyday people. A hero can be a friend who is always there for you or even a stranger who smiles at you on the street. Heroes are everywhere helping us get through our day and making our lives a little easier.
What Makes A Hero

To me a hero is anyone that you look up to, for any reason good or bad. Some people say superheroes, like superman, spider man, etc. are not real heroes. Think back to when you were a kid. I know I used to think of superman and batman as heroes, because they were like role models, I wanted to be like them. Now some people are a little different, they might even like some villains from T.V. shows because they like them and might want to grow up and be like them. That villain may be someones hero the same way superman would be to a little boy or girl. Then some people think that there parents are their heroes. That is understandable to. If you love your parents and you want to be like them then they are your hero. I personally do not have a hero, besides my mom and dad but everybody says that. I used to think Tony Hawk was my hero but I grew out of skateboarding and now I am looking for someone else to look up to and to want to be like. That is what I think of heroes.
A Hero To Me .
The true definition of a hero is someone of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. A hero doesn’t always fight crime or always have evil enemy. A hero affects people and causes change with the deeds they do. They are somebody that we can all look up to. A hero is a genuinely good person, and always think of others first. To me a hero is somebody who does the right thing when nobody is looking. Doctors and firefighters are heroic because they save lives every day. A Hero can be the person who buys a homeless person food or give them old clothing. Heroes wants to better their towns and community. The groups of people who donate their time to hold food drives or pick up trash on the side of roads are truly heroic to me. A physiologist is also a hero because they care for the patients’ wellbeing and mental health. You do not need fancy costumes, capes or tights to be heroic. Heroes are everyday people who want to make a difference with one kind act at a time.
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.
