Decent Essays

What is a hero? Let me define that for you. A hero is a person, who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. You may not know or see it, but there is heroes in everyday life. I know, shocking right! There are heroes everywhere you go, school, work, even Walmart!

People who are just evil want to hurt people instead of help them. If a person is mean to somebody then he/she cannot be a hero because a hero is always nice to one another even if the person wants to hurt them. That to me shows true colors right
