My Heroism : A Hero : Being A Hero

Heroes are not in it for themselves, they are guided by what they think is right. To be a hero, one needs to be selfless, courageous and strong. They need selflessness to be humble and put others needs before their own. These qualities truly show the real heroes in both literature and in today’s world.

Anyone who influences anyone else by saving or helping save his or her lives can be a hero. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. changed the lives of millions of people by bringing justice to minorities. Mahatma Gandhi, one of the greatest heroes, led a nonviolent revolution to free his country. Even a parent can be a hero to his or her child by leading them in the right direction. All teachers are heroes when they make it their job to teach a child anything that will help them in life. You don’t have to go to great lengths by risking your life to make a difference in someone else’s life.

Ricky Martin once said, “Heroes represent the best of ourselves, respecting that we are human beings. A hero can be anyone from Ghandi to your classroom teacher, anyone who can show courage when faced with a problem. A hero is someone who is willing to help others in his or her best capacity.” Almost anyone can be a hero, as long as they have the courage and the maturity to understand and respect those who they attempt to help. Despite the fact that a hero cannot save everyone, being heroic is about placing others before oneself and strive to help those who need it the most.

When one thinks of being a hero what comes in mind is a few bold character traits, they must be able to push through the hard times in a situation life, put oneself at risk for other people, and have the will to do things and not be told or asked to do something. Although more times than not heroes go very unrecognized.“A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” by Christopher Reeve. I agree with this quote, one can't just do nothing to be a hero they must have the will to go out of their way to be a hero. Even if that means they have to go through some challenging obstacles to get there.

Everyone has the chance to be a hero at anytime during their lives. It's their actions and what they do that could lead them to becoming a Hero. They could battle for righteousness, honesty, or justice against forces of evil. Whether they are a hero in a book or in our society they have the qualities that make him or her the proper person to reach his or her goal. To illustrate, in the classic American novel To Kill a Mockingbird Atticus Finch is the hero due to his qualities and determination.

What is a hero? A hero is not somebody with the ability to fly, run really fast, or control other people's minds,... A hero is a random person that rises to the occasion and performs the action(s) of superhero proportions. “The only use of an obstacle is to be overcome. All that an obstacle does with brave men is, not to frighten them, but to challenge them.” (Woodrow Wilson). I agree with Woodrow that to be truly heroic, one must have leaderships, bravery, intelligence,... to solve common problems in our society. There are many examples of heroes in our modern day world as well as fictional characters. For instances, Odysseus in the Odyssey, Bilbo Baggins in the Hobbit and my mom have those characteristics of heroism.

Heroism exists everywhere, despite the time period or occurrence. Many people believe that heroism can only be one concept or a certain type of person, but heroism is all around us in all shapes and forms. A hero is someone who helps people in some way. They can risk something, even their own lives. Heroes improve the world and make it a better place for at least one person, or they can prevent it from being even worse. However, a hero is not someone who is utterly evil or someone who sits around all day, doing nothing.

Heroes have a very wide depiction in all of society, whether it be a superhero, a policeman, firefighter, of a soldier, but in some ways, a hero can be an ordinary person that you pass by on the street. Some people may be born with heroic traits naturally, and some may discover these traits through hardships or situations where a hero is needed. In a situation where a hero is needed, an ordinary person may step up and discover courageous traits that they never thought they had. A hero is somebody that will sacrifice their well-being for the well-being of others. A hero may also be somebody who steps up and speaks up for those in need.

alone does not make Aeneas a hero. A divine mother's concern makes him a hero.

Being a hero is very important, whether you're a teacher or a firefighter, or maybe someone volunteering to donate water to Flint, Michigan being a hero to someone is really important and you could do it today if you really think about it. These are some of my personal beliefs about what makes a person a hero.

When you hear the word "hero", you probably think of a fictional superhuman, created by a franchise for peoples' entertainment. Someone who fights a "villain" and saves the day. The truth is, not all heroes wear capes. Not all heroes have super powers. It's inspiring when you look for heroes in ordinary people. It could be your best friend, a parental figure, a content creator, or even the next stranger you pass on your way to lunch.

Being a hero is about giving more or equal importance to others than to yourself. It is about sacrificing yourself in order to fulfill others’ needs. It is about being selfless, altruistic, considerate and magnanimous. What better example than Mother Teresa to illustrate what a hero really is? This atypical nun dedicated most of her life to help some of the most vulnerable people around the world. Whether it was by providing food, shelter and clothing or by demonstrating love to the unappreciated, she was a humanitarian to the core. That being said, you don’t have to be Mother Teresa to be a hero. What about single parents? They would do anything to provide

Heroes can be fictional, such as batman, or they can be real like Martin Luther King Jr. Many people form their own opinion of what a hero is based on their personal experiences. What makes a hero? A hero is the following things: dedicated, courageous, and selfless. Heroes must be dedicated and committed to their job.

So, I think that to be a hero, you need to be smart, safe, brave, strong, and always be able to speak up when you are getting bossed around. If you want to be a hero, then you have to act like one. That concludes my

I looked down to see I didn’t have anything in my hand . But I just did , where did my phone go ? I heard Crack,Crunch slam ! I saw my phone slowly fall over each and every stair , I could hear the quiet crack of the smooth glass scratching the ground . And the thud of my feet rushing to the broken phone. I reached down to grab it but it slipped right of my fingertips and kept descending it was like there was something you kept trying to get but someone just keep taking it away .
