Bruce Jenner Heroes

When you think of heroes, you might think of Superman or someone like Batman. In reality heroes don't wear costumes. A hero is a person who does their best to accomplish something that can help people weather that is mentally or physically. Anyone can be a hero no matter what. Heroes are not classified by their age, gender, race, religion, or where they come from.

Heroes do extraordinary things and often tend to be people or figures we place on a pedestal whom often have made inspirational sacrifices (Allison and Goethals 24-25). Heroes as courageous, selfless and skillful humanitarians. They can be extraordinary athletes or even someone who gives the gift of time and or sacrifice (Allison and Goethals 26-30). Fictional heroes are described as self-confident, suave, extremely virtuous, and attractive.

A hero can be anyone. A hero does not have to be a super hero that is on TV or in the movies. A hero can be anyone who is admired for his or her courage and outstanding achievements. A hero can be a parent, a family member, a friend, or even a doctor. A hero is a person who comes into another persons life to help and encourage the other person. The hero can have a significant effect on any person. They could have helped a person when he or she was having a hard time or they saved them from an accident. A hero is a being who is recognized and idolized for his or her traits, achievements, and values. A hero is the character who chooses to do good rather than evil, often sacrificing of himself to help others. Heroes can be any form and type

They know that the path to solving problems is not going to be easy but the will push through until a solution is found. Namely, another great hero is Frederick Douglass an African-American slave who had a grueling journey to freedom. As stated from, the Autobiography-The Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, he said, “The wretchedness of slavery, and the blessedness of freedom, were perpetually before me. It was life and death with me. But I remained firm, and, according to my resolution…. I left my chains.” Thus expressing the fact that heroes fear that many things could go wrong but they have unbreakable willpower that keeps them going through tough times. They show that anything can be achieved as long as people believe in it truly. Also in the same limelight is, Malala Yousafzai a women’s right and children’s rights activist. She believes that all children and women have the right to education. As for Malala, she once said “ If I win the Nobel Peace Prize, it would be great...but my goal is to get peace and to see the education of every child.” This shows people that one’s goal might be tough and can take a long time to complete it, but through determination it is possible to reach that goal. In fact all heroes should prioritize their goal to be the most important thing they world towards so they don’t have to back down in future.

What are heroes? Heroes aren’t super humans who have godlike powers or people who have the ability to save us from dying. Heroes don’t wear masks, capes, or any of those cool, fancy clothing. To me, heroes are something else, they are a lot different than the heroes you see on television. They are people who are always there for you through thick and thin, people who are brave and want you to succeed. Heroes never fail to help you and make you feel better if you're going through a rough time. Heroes usually look confident, courageous, and fearless. They would do anything for you no matter what without being afraid of a single thing. A hero must be nice, respectful, happy, and never sad. To be a hero you must do what is right and always be honest

When the word "hero" is spoken, everyone has different thoughts. Some will think of super powers like flying and saving people from villains; while others have a certain person they know or have heard of that come to mind who have done something to make a difference in the lives of others but who is a hero to you? To answer this question you must first ask yourself what a hero is; what comes to your mind when someone says the word. When I am confronted with these questions I always have the same thoughts; smart, strong will power, and someone who stands up for what they believe is right.

Maya Angelou said “A hero is any person really intent on making this a better place for all people” Heroism can look like normal people doing good in this world. Heroes are brave, kind, and outgoing. Heroes do not have powers. They are not rude or selfish to other people. Heroes are normal people that does not wear capes, but they are kind and brave.

Imagine if you were in a world full of villains without superheroes. Life would be out of control. There would be no order. However, in my mind a true hero is someone who is a role model, someone with good character, and a positive person that others admire and imitate their actions. In other words, heroes are people with good character, strong role models, and people with positive outlooks.

Hero! What comes into mind when you hear that word? Maybe someone who is strong, big, can fly, is that what comes to mind? There are real heroes who spend their time on people, making it their life to take care of them, save them from danger. The thing that makes a hero, is sacrificed time and their life to this person.

Heroes are people who stand up for what they believe in. A hero is someone who is selfless, thinks of others before themselves, and have made a significant impact on history. These individuals perform extraordinary deeds, and make sacrifices for others. An example of an amazing hero would be Malala Yousafzai because she made it possible for many girls around the world to receive an education.

Selflessness needs to be a bigger part of the world today. Too many people are so absorbed with themselves that they don't prioritize helping out someone else in need. A hero to me is someone who dives into action without regard for their own safety. Not like a reckless behavior suicide mission, but a real thought out plan with positive results, whether it be organizing a food and clothes basket or planning an army mission in foreign countries. Selflessness is evident in Mother Teresa’s life everywhere you look. She risked catching incurable diseases, being a target to some who hated her work, and she devoted all of her time to help others instead of herself.

“A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” -Christopher Reeve. Anybody can be a hero, as long as they can find the courage and willingness to go the extra mile. A hero is someone who sacrifices themselves for others well-being, and can face challenges head-on, but heroes should not be focused on saving everybody, they know their best is enough.

A hero is not always a bold figure with with a cape and superpowers. In that case, then what is a hero? A hero can be manifested in many ways. We have been taught that heroes are only those who do something huge, for the good of mankind. Although these people are heroes, they are not the only ones. There are many different levels of hero. During the recent Las Vegas shooting during a concert at Mandalay Bay, a husband jumped in front of his wife and died shielding the bullets from her. This man is a hero. On the other hand, a father who sacrificed precious time to help his child with their homework is also a hero. A hero, overall, is anyone who risks or sacrifices something, such as their time, energy, or even their lives, to help someone else; this is what makes a hero.

According to Christopher Reeve, “A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” Heroes are ordinary people that have extraordinary personalities they are constantly on the watch to do good and serve others. A hero is someone who is selfless, courageous, and perseveres. Heroes stay on the right path in life, and do not get addicted to drugs or other addictive substances.

Heroes are what the world needs. Heroes stand up and do not back down, even if their life depends on it. They help other people not for the reward they might get, but for the safety of them. One person put the definition of heroism. The first African American to be ranked number one in all the world, Arthur Ashe couldn’t have put it better when he said, “ True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.”( Arthur Ashe, ####). Heroes make the world a better place by helping and protecting. Martin Luther King Jr. protected African American rights because he knew someone had to stand up for their rights. Even after the Civil War African Americans were treated differently than other people. Martin Luther decided he had to step up and protects their rights. “ The time is always right to do something right.” ( Martin Luther King Jr., 1968). Heroes stand up to do what is right even though other people may hurt them. That is what unfortunately happened to Dr.
