My definition of a hero is a person that puts themselves first and goes above and beyond. Three heros in real life is My Dad, my brother, and my Teachers.

A hero is someone who is there when they are needed, they have to be trust worthy, and courageous. All military members are heroes because of there bravery and sacrifice. Health care workers are examples of heroes because they take risks themselves with disease and the help countless people. Trump is a hero because he looked out for the best interest of the whole country and created a safer nation to live in.

A hero is someone who is willing to risk their life or safety to help the others. Some examples of real life hero's are all of the people that risked their lives to help during 9/11. Another example is anyone who is in any armed forces. Lastly work forces such as firefighters and police officers. All of these examples risk their lives to protect, save, and put the needs of others above their own.

good examples

9/22/2021 10:43:02 am

A hero is someone that does things for the greater good. Real life hero Danny Duncan, Mr. Dickerson, and Rob Dahm. Danny Duncan helps people in need. Mr. Dickerson is the greatest teacher. Rob Dahm is very smart and knows a lot.

A hero is someone who is willing to put their life in risk for other people. Some examples of real life heros are firefighter, police officers, and soldiers.

A hero to me is someone who puts the safety of other before the safety of themselves. Three people I consider hero's would be firefighters, teachers, and our parents.

A hero is anyone with morals that your feel reflect yours personally. A villain to someone is a hero to another.
-My dad is a hero because he just does his own thing, doesn't bother anyone and doesn't care.
- I don't have any other heroes

Jaylee

9/22/2021 10:46:51 am

I like how you said a villain to someone is a hero to another! it is very true.

A hero is someone that people look up to and respect. People trust them and can believe them for anything. Three heroes in my life are my Dad, Grandpa and Muhammad Ali.

A hero is someone who does something in their life that everyone will remember them as. A hero is also someone who people look up to. Anyone is is known for what they did can be a hero if you look up to them as one. One good example of a hero is Micheal Jordan because he was best at what he did and was the most famous man on earth so everyone looked up to him. Another good hero would be a lot of dads or moms, many people look up to there parents even if no one else does. Lastly anyone who is good at the job you want to do when your older can be a great hero to you.

A hero is someone who has just qualities; loyal, brave, strong and true or honest. Honesty is the most important trait a hero can possess accompanied by bravery. Being just and logical in all their actions is crucial. These characteristics set a proper foundation for a hero. Older siblings who walk so we can run, military persons who lay down their lives, and teachers who put up with us endlessly.

Heroes are often portrayed as beings with supernatural abilities, but even those heroes have characteristics that real people can possess. Courage in the face of danger, determination, and ability to turn off your brain to actually go forth with the heroic act are all traits of heroes. We see heroes everyday: firefighters, police officers, and even regular people can be heroes.

A hero isn't necessarily someone who does everything right and is the perfect person but rather is a selfless person who may make mistakes but inevitably saves someone even at the risk of their own demise. Some examples of this include firefighters, army enlisters, and police officers. Each of these positions people who have made mistakes and still do risk their lives voluntarily in hopes of helping people.

Olivia

I like how you put that even heroes have flaws and aren't perfect.

A hero to me is someone that everybody looks up to and respects. One hero in my opinion was Kobe bryant. Kobe had one of the best work ethics in nba history and always worked hard for everything another her would be firefighters because they risk their life to make sure people are safe. some other heroes would be Doctors becuase they spend a lot of money and time in school so that they can save peoples life

A super hero is someone who you notice every day someone who inspires who a super hero is almost like a role model. Super hero has the traits to go out of their own way so they can help another, they are also very telling a superhero tells there own stories. Some modern day super heroes are any first responder's the brave men and woman who fight for our freedom. I feel as if any sort of councilor is a super hero because they guide people to success.

Your example of therapists and people in the same career is out of the box but accurate, I like your outlook.

A hero is someone that risks themselves for the greater good. Firefighters save people in fires. Wyatt platz risks taking pictures to let us comment on them. Nate Diaz fights people and tells kids to eat vegetables.

I think a hero is someone who has a a strong conscience, and is willing to follow it, also someone who goes against the popular wrong and suffers through persecution.
I think a modern day hero would be Ann Frank, her example has still been held throughout the years.
Another would be Malala, she was highly persecuted for her rights and even though culturally she suffered so much, she still continued on.
My last one would be M.L.K who also suffered much during his life. even till death, forespeaking to about what is right
