A hero is someone who does good things for people regardless of reward or if anyone notices. Firefighters are heros because the self sacrifice and go in dangerous situations. Gary Winthorpe is a hero becasue he entertains and donates to charity. Prince was also a hero because he made good music and dressed nice

A hero is someone who helps others, whether it be physical or emotional. Three example of heroes in my life is my brothers, Stetson and Mason, and my sister, Gracie. They are heroes to me because they are always there to help me. I am so thankful for their examples in my life.

A hero is a person who puts others before themselves. An example would be Winston Churchill because of his military genius and the way he won battles. Mr. Rogers is another hero because of the way he helped kids. Another hero would be the rescuers in 911 because of the bravery they had and the courage they showed.

while i think that is great i also have known people in those positions that are absolute dirt bags. so its more of whats on the inside than what someone does for a job.

A hero is a person who is brave, courageous, and puts others before themselves. This could be a firefighter or a police officer helping citizens. Also people who serves in the military is a hero, because they protect us.

I agree police officers and firefighters are heroes for what they do.

A hero is someone who helps others regardless of the outcome. They like to help people be better and “save them”. Soldiers are hero’s because they put their lives on the line for us. Firefighters because they are there to help and police officers because they try to keep our town safe.

A hero is a person who is a role model in a persons life or does heroic acts like saving somebody's cat from a tree. My mom is a hero because she teaches me if there's something that I want to go and get it and to work hard. Police are heroes because everyday they put their life on the line to protect and serve. Service members are heroes because they put themselves in situations to give us a better tomorrow every single day.

A hero is someone is who is brave but yet honorable and is very humble upon themselves. Like the man who saved a guy out of his burning truck in Rexburg last spring while it was getting pushed by a train into a pile of smoldering scrap metal on the tracks is a great example.

A hero is someone that people depend on to help them when they are in need. Everyone during their life has needs which sometimes they can't meet themselves and that is why heroes are their provide assistance in "danger". The three examples of heroes in my life are my dad, my brothers, as well as Bill Nye The Science Guy.

William Rackham

9/22/2021 12:25:06 pm

Bill Nye was a hero.

A hero is someone who tries to help people with being asked and asking for nothing in return.

Ex. Fireman, Police, and Soldiers because the run into danger and don't all way know if they will walk out just to save people.

I like how you said hero's don't ask for everything in return.

A hero is someone who does good deeds whether they are being watched or not. Cops are heros enforcing the law. Firefighter are heros giving there time to protect us. People going into the military and who are in the military keeping us safe.

A hero is someone that does something for the better of society. Martin Luther King is a hero because he changed black peoples rights and risked himself to better society. Donald trump changed america for the better and risked his position for it making him a hero. Christopher Columbus also is a hero because he risked his life and founded new america.

William Rackham

A hero is somebody that works toward a noble cause and maybe dies for their cause. Three real life heroes would be Marin Luther King as he keep his views and changed the world.The firefighters at the world trade center on 9/11 as they sacrificed their lives for others.The final hero would be Gandhi because he brought peace to India.

Raven

The people at the 9/11 saving are defently hero's

fda hero is someone who does their best to positively influence someone. i dont think a hero has t be someone jumping in fires to save someone. while that is a hero as well i enjoy the emotional and mental aspects of a hero more and believe anyone can be a hero. example.. someone who mentally helps another like kimberly my older sister. my 10 year old sister cause she is always there for me and she is kind and stands up for what she believes in and doesnt care about what people think.

A hero is someone of higher status who accomplished a challenge and just had an outstanding achievement. Firefighters are heroes when people run away from the fire they are running in. Pat Tillman is a hero he left the NFL to go and serve his country after 9/11 and died for our country.

Raven

A hero is someone who you look up to and admire. A hero is also someone who does good for people and the world no matter if they benefit from it or not. Martin Luther Kind J. is a good example of a hero because he always did what was best for people and the world even if he didn't always benefit from his actions. He was also behind the African American getting basic rights which was a big heroic moment in history.

A hero is a person who does extraordinary acts for the greater good. It is also someone who doesn't care what others think about them. The White Death was a pretty remarkable hero because he was a Finnish sniper and he had around 260 confirmed kills with just a sniper against invading Russians in WWII. Anyone who goes into the military is a hero because they risk their life for their country. Charity workers are also heroes because they work but don't get payed.
