Heroes

Blog One: Heroes

The common conception of a hero is someone who is big and strong, smart, and tactical, a person who does good deeds for the well being of mankind. Superman, Spiderman, Batman, all are heroes who fight crime and keep streets safe. Those heroes however, are made believe. A real hero is someone who will run into a blazing fire, just to save an 83 year old woman, or the rescue workers on 9-11, the people who ran inside the towers to help evacuate. The people who worked around the clock to free all those who were trapped beneath the rubble, those are true modern day heroes. Real heroes are common everyday people, who have an extreme sense of good morals. Heroes won’t think twice about helping someone in need, and asking for nothing in return. But a hero is not always someone who does just good deeds. A hero can be a single parent who holds down two jobs to support their children and provide them with food and clothes. A hero can also be an athlete. Children all over the world have their favorite athletes. These athletes set an example for children to follow. An example that says work hard and follow your dream, and not to stop until you acquired it, and then to dream some more. As humans we all need someone to look up to, someone everybody can turn to in a time of crisis. When something catastrophic happens we all need reassurance that everything will be alright. Knowing or even thinking that there is someone, that there are people who will stand-up in the face of danger or defeat, and have the will power to change and do something about it, makes us as humans more relaxed and calm about the world.
