My definition of a hero is someone that is there for you when you need it. That could be a friend, family member, or work buddies.

I really like your definition of what you think a hero is. I agree that a hero to people can be your friends, family, and even people that you work with.

I think a hero is somebody that you look up to. An example of this could be a parent, a grandparent, or even a sibling.

I like that it is definitely my family members because they are always with you so you do start to look up to them.

A hero is someone you look up to and/or someone who protects. A hero can be someone in your family that is your role model. It can be someone who is an emt, police, firefighter, ect. It also could be someone who fights for a cause that needs to be done.

A hero in my opinion is someone who saves people for the greater good and not for themselves, But in another way it can be someone you look up to in many different ways. Firefighters, because they save people, Cops keep people and the community safe. And Search and rescue because they help find missing people and bring them home.

People think that emergency responders are heroes because they risk their lives for others.

I agree with cops being heroes because they help keep us safe and put their lives at risk to keep us safe.

Those people deserve to be seen as heroes, because is some instances they are risking their lives to help others.

I agree with what you put down for examples of heroes. Emergency responders are absolutely heroes because they put their lives on the line to protect this country.

A hero, in my eyes, is someone who helps others through the tough times and doesn't leave when things get rough, but also doesn't burn themselves out.

Anyone can fit into this description of a hero, all someone needs is another person, or people, that will help them through the tough times and be their support. Especially if you are lacking support from others in a tough time. An example is found family, close friends or the family of those friends who take you in and support you through thick and thin.

A hero is someone who is willing to put themselves is harms way to benefit someone else. Someone who is willing to help no matter the consequence. I think that some of my heroes are my grandfather because he taught me life skills that I will cherish forever. I think that anyone who has served in the military is a hero as well because they are willing to put there lives on the line for others.

A hero is someone who is there to help no matter what and can break down a situation and resolve it. For example, I think my dad is a hero, he always is there to support people and will always have input on a situation to fix it. Another example of a hero is Martin Luther King, he was selfless and was striving for what he believed in. The final example of a hero is public servants (firefighters, police officers, EMTs) because they go out of their way to help people everyday.

In my opinion, a hero is someone who saves people not to make themselves feel better, but saves someone for the greater good. In another definition they can also be someone that people look up to, like one's grandparents or parents. Firefighters because they risk their life to save others, and they don't it to make themselves feel better. Military because they put their lives on the line, to protect our country and everyone in this country; they do it for the greater good. Police officers because they risk their lives to keep towns at peace, they do it because they want to help. I think these fit in my definition because they all risk their lives for the greater good, and people look up to them, they try to be like them.

A hero is someone that people look up to usually for a good reason. Many people in emergency jobs are considered hero's; firefighters, search and rescue, etc because these people put themselves in danger to protect others. Many people also look up to their parents because they have done good things and shown a good image to their children. Super hero's are considered hero's because of the good deeds they do to protect others.

A hero is someone you look up to. Someone you want to be like and make proud. Someone you would trust in an emergency. In my opinion doctors are heros. They save lives and do a job not everyone could do. Firefighters and police are also heros. They save lives, stop crime, and help people in danger.

A hero is someone that puts others before themselfs phyically and mentally. Doctors thoes people are helping people everyday and putting themselves last. Partents they will stay up for days to make sure their kids are okay. Writers and other carrer they want to make stroys that inspire everyday people to do good things.

I think a hero is a person who has had a huge impact on society, or your personal life. I think that my dad is a good example because he has help me become a strong independent man. Next would have to be my two brothers because they showed me the ins and outs of life and help me when i needed it. My last hero would have to be my grandpa because he has taught me many useful things that will help me later on on life.

A Hero is a amired or idlized for courage, outstanding achievements, and noble actions. Hero do these noble deads not for themselves but for others. Some heros are Fiefighters because they risk their own lives to run into danger for others. Police Officers because they defend and protect us. And Doctor because they saves lives everyday. I think these heros fit my definition because they all have courage in what they indent to achieve.
