Unsung heroes “Heroes represent the best of ourselves, respecting that we are human beings. A hero can be anyone from Gandhi 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.” -Ricky Martin.

“I wish I could be a hero!” Many adults in today’s society hear small children wishing they could become heroes. Children wish to be more like heroes for the reason that heroes are the type of people who risk their lives to help others. Throughout history, children have had a positive connotation with the word “hero.” The heroes many small children talk about are the fictional ones who protect cities from villains: Superman, Batman, Spiderman, and others. However, these are not the only types of heroes in today’s world. Firefighters and policemen are also considered heroes because they save the lives of those in danger. Many adults consider their inspirations to be heroes, such as Mahatma Gandhi, Martin

Douglas L. Bieker is a perfect example of someone who i consider a hero. he provide more than enough for his family to give all of his kids an even chance at life, no matter their path. he donates his own blood every chance he can get. and he volunteers at the local fire station.

The name of my hero is Pat Tillman, he is my hero because he is an American warrior and he served our country proud and I respect that.Pat Tillman was an American Soldier he served in the army and was killed in friendly fire and gave up one something that he dreamed of all his life, and what he had worked for, just to help out our country in war. A hero to me is someone you makes you proud, believe in or who you can look up to. Heros have to be respected because they give everything they have because they want to make the people who look up to them proud.

This quote is incredibly true and relevant to our society. In order to be considered a hero or heroic, individuals do not have to take extreme measures like going to war. Instead, people only need to act selflessly and with kindness to be heroic. For instance, people who participate in the random acts of kindness movement are considered to be heroes. These people are completing small acts of kindness in order to brighten someone's day. One of the most popular instances of random acts of kindness is the act of paying it forward. Individuals at drive-throughs will often pay for their order as well as the order of the person behind them. This common act, even though not large, is considered to be heroic since it typically causes a chain

The end of an era is now upon many current and former West Virginia University students. After the 2017 spring semester there will be no more clanking of the heating system, no more puke in showers, no more shattered windows in the breeze way and ultimately no more Arnold Hall.

My Michigan hero is not just a hero but is my grandma, she was always there for me through my ups and downs. Every day after school are used to go to her house, she would have Mack and cheese waiting for me on a little SpongeBob plate in front of the TV with SpongeBob on the TV. She was like my other half whenever I needed her the most she was there. She used to go shopping with me and my mom all the time and take us out for lunch. I alway imagined her being there with me all my life but that all changed. Just a couple years ago she had passed away and that was the hardest day of my life. I remember not wanting to go to her funeral because I couldn't stand seeing all the memories and pictures of us together. When I first walked into the room I just

As you heard I will tell you who my hero is. My heros are not only the people I listed above but all of our members of the armed

My hero is a small town redneck that came up from the backwoods of Cheatham County, TN. He’s known for his YouTube videos and his rising music career. His name is Ryan Edward Upchurch, he comes from a family that is full of humor, which is the reason why he even started his career. The small town redneck is a very independent and outspoken person who can speak on any topic. The redneck is not just a hero to me, but a role model.

Grant Carter, he is 21 years old, tall and build. I didn’t talk as much with him, but enough to get an idea of the personalities he has. He is very relaxed person, and easy going. He has same hobbies as Kim. He too loves to hunt and fish. He embraces the idea that any real man can shoot a deer, or catch a fish. He seems very protective, and he takes good care of those close to him. He is hard working too. Grant loves all kinds of music, from Rap to country to rock and rook. Grant had a fun high school career. He sees it as one of his accomplishments. He was voted as best shoulder to cry on in 9th grade. This was also the time he learned how to cook. Grant is humble about his accomplishments; therefore I had a hard time trying to get some

Change is inevitable. Whether it be positive or negative, change is constantly happening. More than often change can take you from the known world and spit you into the unknown, where you return a changed person. While embarking on the journeys provoked by change, you are on a hero’s journeys. The hero’s journey was popularized by Joseph Campbell. When describing what prompts hero’s journeys, Joseph Campbell said,

My uncle, Gary Norder, is my American Hero because of his devotion toward me, and my family, The times he spends with me, and the effort he puts toward to support his family and mine amazes me. My uncle and his brothers started a company called Custom Caulking. The Norder brothers say it's been hard for them, but they still manage to sustain a wealthy business.

I consider this person as my hero due to one time when I was nine I needed pictures of me and nobody had them. I asked everybody in my family and they didn’t have them. Then on

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.

So now that you know what is a hero, which is be proactive and put first things first you know that everyone can be a hero like you, and me. All of these heros are so important to us. But, there is one question, who is your
