Heroes; something we all aspire to be, but easily recognize in others. Wait, how do we define what makes a hero, a hero? A hero is one who is kind, courageous, smart, determined and selfless. They often do what is better for the greater good and not themselves. This is seen in both Greek and Modern heroes, whether it is cutting off Medusa’s head or defeating the Riddler, they show these qualities in one way or another. We also see these qualities in parents, true everyday heroes. While they may not
My Father, My Hero When I was four, I knew I had the greatest dad in the world. My dad always made me laugh, always took care of me when I was sick, and always found time to spend with me outside of work. My dad has been a firefighter for almost 30 years. He started in April of 1995 and has been with Tupelo Fire Department since. My dad started out as a sergeant driving the fire truck when he first began his career as a firefighter. In May of 2016, he was promoted Captain of Station 6 in Tupelo
My dad is my hero. It was only last week when I was prompted to recall this. When I tore my meniscus five months ago, I underwent surgery in order to remove the damaged tissue. Recovery was going well, but unbeknownst to me, if you do not keep up with your physical therapy exercises, then you will regress in your abilities. I had been running just the week before, but within a week I learned this brutal lesson because I could no longer walk. It was a setback in my running due to overuse and a regrettable
This image shows that a hero is someone of great honor; a hero can be anyone as long as they do what is right. A hero is someone with great integrity and will help their fellow man. A hero is someone who saves the day; they are the ones who work to ensure that their life’s work improves the lives of those around them. A hero is the person who sacrifices for the greater good; they sacrifice their lives, money, and time to make for the greater good. They sacrifice themselves to cause the betterment
You don’t have to have super powers to be a hero. Someone who is a hero is someone who is admired for their courage, achievements, and noble qualities. My dad is my hero in many ways. He is my hero because he is always there for me when I need him, he always challenges me, and he puts family first. My dad is always there for me when I need it the most. There have been many times he has come and saved the day. This is one that I will never forget, I was about twelve years old at the time. I had an
“ A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.” (brainyquote) Some people believe that heroes are fictional characters that only exist in a non existent world, I believe that the real heroes are the ones in our everyday lives. They are the ones who love you, care for you, and protect you with all of their strength. In my life my dad is my hero, even though I didn’t know him very long.(Edwards) He passed away when I was eight months old, yet he’s still my biggest
A hero is someone who helps with almost everything in life. Someone who is there when you need them and there to help if anything goes wrong. It is someone who makes the pain fade away easier and makes life less miserable. The hero in my life is my father. My father is a hero because he has been in my life ever since I was born. Ever since I was little he was always there no matter what I needed or what I wanted. He has demonstrated the acts of heroism by doing more than just talking and standing
My Father: Hero or Villain? A stranger once questioned my thirteen year old self, “Would you rather live an easy life or an interesting life?” and in the moment without hesitation to think about it, I responded an easy life. Ever since I was able to realize right from wrong, my immature mind always struggled understanding why bad things happen to good people and why our world can’t be at peace. Or why must my body react anxiously? Or why my parents are divorced? Now, only God has the answers to
a super hero, a relative, or even a friend, they still look up to that individual. My role model comes in the form of a five foot five man, with short black hair, and a face just like mine. He’s my father and even though he’s no super hero, he’s still definitely the person I look up to the most. Whether it be supporting my dreams, needing someone to talk to, or needing a ride to a date, he’s always there for me. When it comes down to it he’s the person I admire most, my role model, father, mentor
My definition of a hero is a person who is more than willing to protect or help you in any way without hesitation. They may not have to have special superpowers, or save your life. It can be a random person, a family member, or even a friend. They can give you advice or encouragement to help you. Two examples of a hero is my dad, Javier Martinez; he is always giving me advice on certain situations, my education, or whenever I need it. He does not have any superpowers or super natural strength. He
