A hero is an individual who provides help or assistance to people, often risking their own lives in the process. Some real life hero’s include firefighters, policemen and soldiers in the military. They, by definition, fit this definition well.

I think a hero is someone who helps other people and puts others before themselves. I think hero’s that fit the definition are police officers, first responders and military personnel.

I agree because they choose to be that and help others

Paige

I agree with you that’s explained well.

I believe a hero is someone who goes above and beyond to help someone who needs it, and someone who will help others for nothing in return. Some real life heros I can think of are me, I do things for others with nothing in return, and I always help people, another hero in real life is all the teachers of the high school, they spend 8+ hours a day teaching us for nothing in return. They could spend their time any other way but they choose to spend it with us, and one more real life hero is probably all the ER doctors and just doctors at the hospital. They make sure everyone is okay that goes to the ER and they make sure everyone in the ER or in the hospital in general are well taken care of, and they also take time out of their days to take care of us and help us get better

A hero is someone who help you as a person succeed in life. My councilor is a real life hero. She helps a lot of kids with all issues they face in their life.

Ariana Williams

A hero is someone who would drop what they are doing to help you.
Some examples are:
When my parents adopted me because, they didn’t have to do that, but the chose to because they loved me.
By best friend Cheyenne because she is so willing to help anyone even though she can’t always take care of herself.
Service dogs because they are loyal and will always help you.

a hero is someone who does whats better for society, but may not be better for them. Some heros that fit my defintion are soldiers, police officers, and doctorss. They all work for others and not themselves to try and make the world a better place.

Aspen

Good point

Adrian

10/1/2020 10:50:20 am

Well those hero’s aren’t very specific Mr. Grover

Preston

Great definition

Aspen

10/1/2020 10:43:16 am

I think a hero is someone who’s admired by how they act and what they do and someone that is admirable. I also think they put themselves last and everyone above them. Some real life hero’s would be MLK

Griffin Mylan

10/1/2020 10:45:31 am

That would definitely fit the definition of a hero.

Aubrey

10/1/2020 10:45:33 am

I agree

Paige

I agree with you that’s what a hero is.

A hero is someone you look up too or admire. Tyrell Penner because he gives no shits. President Trump because he is making America great again. The Rona virus because it canceled school for 6 months, oh and my mother she is the best.

Adrian

10/1/2020 10:49:37 am

Yeah, your mom sure is nice.

A hero is someone with courage and has multiple noble qualities or deeds under their name. One type of real life hero to me is social workers, they have to put up with so much, that field is such a weight on ones shoulders yet they continue to do it because they care about other people. An obvious example of a hero would be medical workers, they’re risking their lives for other peoples health. Another hero would be my friend cause she buys me food when I don’t have money and I’ll always appreciate that.

taija

That’s good your friend buys you food.

Jaicei

10/1/2020 10:54:16 am

I completely agree. It’s sad that social workers go so unrecognized when thinking about heroes.

A hero is someone who saves your life even if you don’t know it. Parents are heroes because they raise us. Other hero’s are soldiers and police because they protect us.

Abeni Baca

10/1/2020 10:48:28 am

I completely agree.

Ariana Williams

I agree! Soldiers and police are hero’s because they protect us.

A hero is someone who always does the right thing no matter what.Three examples of real life heroes are Betty white, JFK, and Oprah.

taija

I agree.

Jaicei

10/1/2020 10:51:21 am

I agree, Betty White has done so much for society.

Adrian

10/1/2020 10:51:48 am

Yeah nice, love Betty White. She is so bad no cap

I think a hero is someone who is always ready to help you with any challenge that goes on in your life. I think they teach you how to do things in life right so you don’t end up down the wrong path. My mom is my hero she is always ready to help me whenever I need it and she’s not scared to tell me if i’m doing something wrong. Two other hero’s are firefighters and policemen because they’re always there when you need them.

Treygan Bragg

10/1/2020 10:49:10 am

That is a very good definition of a hero

Darian

10/1/2020 10:46:10 am

I think a hero is someone you look up to in life and admire them for who they are. One real life hero is my cousin. She has always been there for me no matter what and helped me grow to be a better person. Another hero is my dad. He showed me that whatever bad happens in life you can still be positive about something. Also my other cousin because he is the sweetest person and is so understanding and helpful to everyone.

Tierryn

10/1/2020 10:49:10 am

If we’re thinking about the same girl cousin, I completely agree and relate to her always being there.

A hero is someone who is a positive influence that tries to help others. A hero goes out of their way above and beyond even if they have to risk their own safety. Hero’s in today’s society are doctors, police, soldiers, and first responders.

Paige

10/1/2020 10:47:33 am

I think a hero is someone you look up to someone that wants and does better for society. I think hero’s that fit the definition are police officers, first responders and military personnel.

A hero is someone who goes out of the way to help others and takes on the role of a leader and tries to push people to better themselves. Real life hero’s and my parents because they always help and support me through everything, teachers because they devote a lot of time into helping teach the future generation, and doctors for dedicating their lives to helping the public.

Jaicei

A hero is someone that others look up to for the good deeds they preform. A lot of people see their parents as their real life hero’s because of everything they have done for them in their lives. Another real life hero would be Martin Luther King Jr., who worked for racial equality. Ruth Bater Ginsburg was another example because of what she did for women’s rights.

Tierryn

10/1/2020 10:51:37 am

Watch women get their rights taken away because one woman died. :/

A hero can be considered someone who is selfless and puts other needs before their own, someone who believes everyone has an equal shot at life, someone who believes the world can change and be better, someone who doesn’t support a system built on hate. Hero’s that fit my definition are people who stands up for everyone’s rights, someone who has survived abuse and trauma yet still sees life as a beautiful thing. Anyone can be a hero, it just depends on what qualities you choose to show the world.

A hero is someone that demonstrates the epitome of making good decisions, and having said decisions work out in their favor. Some hero’s would be Nelson Mandela, Alexander The Great, and Attila the Hunt. All of these people had a certain mindset, fought for it, and were successful in doing so.

Ariana Williams

10/1/2020 10:49:36 am

A hero is someone who goes out of their way to help someone even if it’s dangerous or life threatening. A couple of real life hero’s are firefighters, police officers, and my mom. All three of these examples go out of their each and every day to help people. Even if its dangerous or takes up their time.

Preston

10/13/2020 10:50:16 am

A hero is someone who is willing to give up themselves or something if theirs, to help someone else. Real life heroes are our military, my dad, and people who have made change in our communities. They all have given something of theirs up for the benefit of other people.
