You may find yourself wondering, what is a hero, who is a hero, or what makes up a hero, but is there really one answer for those questions? Is it really necessary to set a strict guideline for such a high title, or is it even possible? I have been toying with the idea a lot lately, and have decided that it is not. Why should a "hero" have to follow a certain guideline, when they do not even consider themselves hero's anyway? In my opinion we are all hero's at one point in our life. we all do something for someone that makes us their hero. Whether is be helping an elderly woman with her groceries, or helping a friend study for a test, we became their hero for that moment. Keeping that in mind, it is important to strive to be as helpful as you can to others as one day someone will be your hero.
My parents have always been there for me when I need it most, so they are definitely hero's, but who else? All of my teachers are my hero because they are preparing me for life on my own. My friends are my hero's too because they are always so nice and caring. Soldiers, police officers, and firefighters are hero's as well because they help complete strangers they don't even know! Sure you can say "oh they have to do that it's their job," but would they really be doing it if they didn't want to? All in all, a hero is anyone who you look up to, or that helps make a difference in the world you live in.
