Hope: The Hero's Story Of Hope

What images come to mind as you reflect on your childhood? Playgrounds, blackboards, and soccer balls may be among the warmest of memories.

There I was sitting at the table eating what the nuns like to call food what just looked like to me slop I was sitting with my friend Felix. He came across a carrot and it was a full-size carrot he just sat there and stared at it not even touching it if he did not hurry up and I was going to grab it and eat it.

A few months later, I found myself riding with Halt back to his quaint little cottage nestled in the woods. He was teaching me about animal tracks. As our horses tread against the snow that lay on the ground, I noticed a massive print next to the cottage, and Halt said it was a giant boar. A man was lying in the bushes and came out to claim that he had seen the boar first hand, and that it was a mad and destructive one. Halt told him to go to the castle and tell the Baron to gather a group of men so that we can all go hunt the boar in the morning. The next day, I found myself on horseback on the outside of a circle of warriors, and Horace. If the boar were to escape through our circle, I was to chase it down and finish it off with my bow.

Let me tell you a short story about this boy. It was 9 o'clock in the afternoon when his parent asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up, he said with enthusiasm "I want to be a doctor", not knowing what it is. After that we just went about our days. Ten years later, he's a senior in junior high school getting ready to embark on the road where many have failed. He did what he had to do so that he can graduate. Graduation day was here and pretty quickly. His parents said to him, "no more fun and games, you are going to enter high school. All I want from you is to pass your class of high grades , graduate and go on to college to pursue your career to become a doctor." This kid heard a lot of things when it comes to becoming a doctor and

“Over here!” Lori called to her friend, Kayla as she was trudging below the blazing hot Arizona sun. After looking up and seeing Lori, Kayla shouted “Coming!” while jogging happily to greet her best friend. Both girls were looking forward to this get together because they were planning on hiking a new trail through the beautiful desert mountains. “I am so excited!” Kayla exclaimed once Lori caught up to Kayla. Carrying small filled bags with a couple granola bars, water, a hat, a couple of bandages and some sunscreen, you could see the anticipation in their eyes for this fun adventure! Although they didn’t do much research on this trail, they were thrilled for the trip ahead.

My heart wasn’t with him and it had been this way since the moment he brought me home to his apartment above the garage the day we were wed. I had at this point given up fighting to free myself and sunk deep into my thoughts. Upon remembering the day we met I could recall almost every detail about him; from the twinkle in his eyes to the gleam of his golden watch. There was a gleam of hope which I saw when I looked at him much unlike the strain and exhaustion I see as he lurks in the grey shadows of the garage. Though I detested this awful place, it was not New York I longed to adventure away from, it was him. Him and his oh-so ordinary ways. I wished to live a life of the extravagant and the bold, a life with Tom, a life that was not

Make up an idea of what a hero should be like, Are you done? Good. Now put that hero that you just made up and send him on a unforgetable journey.

Static's barrier wasn't going to hold any longer as he heard that help was coming from both Sentinel and Rhea. The tower was under attack by those things, people dying as those thing bite into them.

There once was a Fair Lady and her Knight. They had a happy marriage and shared everything together. They shared their meals, their wine, their gold, and they even shared the chores. The Knight and the Fair Lady worked as a team in the court affairs, almost going as far as to take each other into their fights. They had eyes only for each other, no matter how much gold one person had or how beautiful they were, no one could come in between them. One day when the Lady was doing her sewing with the other Ladies of the castle, they slyly remarked to her that every night, just about midnight her husband sneaks off to another part of the castle and is not seen again until daylight. Knowing that her husband is faithful and devoted to her, she just smiled and nodded their gossiping away. She continued on with her work and soon forgot what they had said. A fortnight passes, and then she remembers the silly gossip piece she had heard about her lovely knight. “My darling, you’re never going to guess what the ladies said about you. They said that you were sneaking off at midnight to go do heaven’s knows what and you wouldn't be seen again until daylight! My word what a tale they spun hah!” she said. “Oh my, that is quite a tale. Well darling you shouldn't listen to those old hens cackling, they just want to see you upset because they wish they had our love. Good night my love” he said, laying down farther away from her as usual. They went to sleep, but the Lady couldn’t sleep well. What

“True heroism is… not the urge to surpass others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.” - Arthur Ashe. Heroism is not anyone that wears a cape, but is a person that is willing to sacrifice themselves just so everyone can be happy and can be safe. They are always going to look up with a smile and will be brave. Heroes won’t let anything get in their way. Although, they might be a little afraid, they will always look on the bright side with a big smile. If, heroes will not always have a happy ending, they are still glad that they helped someone in need. Even though heroism does not always have a happy ending, brave ordinary people put others before themselves to save them from bigger problems.
