A Hero is a person that does something for others when they are in need. My mom is a hero because she helps many people even when she is in the middle of doing something else. Jesus Christ for he saved my lives that were in need. Jake from state farm helped people by having them apply for State Farm.

I think a hero is someone who helps another person out. For me, my friends are my heros because they make me smile and can help me. I also think my brother is my hero because he's always there for me and helps me get though hard times with laughter. I also think in some ways, I'm my own hero. I choose to show up everyday and I help myself out but taking care of me.

I think a lot of people (including me) think of a hero as someone who gives to help another person.

I like that you are a hero

Maren

I like that you're your own hero.

That is the same description I also had!

Riley J

Your brother is definitely a hero

Janna Fisher

I like how you involved yourself as a hero. In reality we are our own heros specially when we decide to show up now so we are more successful later.

A hero is someone who gives their all for good. Officer Penner gives his all to make sure the community is safe. My Mother gave her all to raise me. Lead Singer of Bad Wolves, Tommy Vext takes his time to speak out for the damn and those in low situations and he donate to help those in need of it.

Hannah Rich

I think its admirable that you brought up officers in our community. I did not think about the heros in our community.

i like your take on it

i think a hero isn't just someone who gets rid of the bad guy, i thing a hero is someone who is willing to sit with you and listen to your feelings, or someone who is willing to do anything they can to help you, good or bad. some one you feel comfortable around and can be yourself, some who met you at the lowest point in life and made everything better.

Sometimes the most someone can do is listen. I think having the ability to listen and respect what another person is going through is very heroic in its own way.

my heros are addyy, bella, and elicia because they all help me through rough times and save me from doing stupid things. they make me laugh and happy.

holley

i think the factor of just sitting down and listening to someone is an excellent trait of a hero

Bri is my favorite hero :)

A hero is someone you look up too. They are someone you could or want to be someday. A hero for a kid could be superman but a hero as you get older is a person you value in life. Could be a NFL hockey player I look up too, or a person I see throughout my day.

Erin Jones

9/19/2022 12:19:16 pm

I didn't directly think of a hero being a role model, that is great food for thought.

Anika

9/19/2022 12:21:26 pm

Someone you look up to is a good idea.

Makenna

9/19/2022 12:26:07 pm

I like how its kind of like a role model!

Anika

A hero is someone that does something good for somebody else or puts themselves at risk to help someone out. Heros in my life have been my mom because she always puts me first rather than herself, My best friend Paisley because she helped me get through the hardest parts in my life last year, and Meri Galvan because she has used a lot of her personal time to make sure I complete my senior project.

Makenna

9/19/2022 12:26:41 pm

I like your description of a hero!

Haylee

To me a hero is so one you look up too and want to be like. My mom is my real life hero because she alway looks for the good in people. Pink is another hero because she is inspiring with her music. My last hero would probably be my advisers for FFA because they alway push me out of my comfort zone and push me to do better.

Tristan Cooper

9/19/2022 12:23:18 pm

Good idea

Maren

9/19/2022 12:23:57 pm

I agree that they're people you look up to.

Tay

Your mom is literally the best

A hero is a person who will give everything for the benefit of others. Liv is a hero for saving me so many times. Dakota is a real life hero keeping me going every day and Former NY Giants Linebacker Cole Farrand for saving his neighbor from his burning house.

Moses Taylor

All linebackers are heroes.

Anika

9/19/2022 12:23:05 pm

The best friend heros are the best hands down.

Piper

9/19/2022 12:24:00 pm

The ones that get us out of bed everyday and keep us going everyday are the real heros.

Moses Taylor

A hero is a person who does a good deed even if they earn no recognition for it. Jesus Christ is a hero for dying for our sins. Mary is a hero for giving birth to Jesus and raising him even though it couldn't have been easy. Jesus's stepdad Joseph is a hero for taking care of his wife after she got pregnant even though it wasn't his.

What about his Uncle?

Colton

9/19/2022 12:24:54 pm

That's only two, get it together. I would say that your mom would be a great hero because she really helps me get my grades up after school.

a hero is a person who goes out of their way for others. my dad is a hero because he has always done everything for my brother and i, my dad will drop whatever he is doing to come help me when i need it. my big brother is also m a hero because he's the one to help me when my dad isn't available, he also will protect me with his life.

holley

9/19/2022 12:28:10 pm

i forgot a third example but another hero to me is Michael because his career puts his own life at risk everyday, being in the military and catering to me is hard and the fact he willingly does it everyday.

bri

9/19/2022 12:30:51 pm

i feel the same way with my brothers and dad

Maren

9/19/2022 12:21:32 pm

A hero is someone who protects and helps people and someone that is looked up to. My dad is my hero because he's the hardest working person I've ever met and I know he'd do anything to protect his family. Another person I would consider a hero is my grandpa because he was the same way and finally I would consider my stepmom a hero for stepping up and being the mom I needed.

holley

9/19/2022 12:29:25 pm

who's your third hero?

Piper

9/19/2022 12:21:32 pm

A hero is someone that cares more about other people than themselves. They will put their life on the line to help someone else. The three people that are hero's to me are my sister, my best friend, and my uncle. My uncle is a hero because he put his life on the line in Iraq. My sister and my best friend because they have stuck by my side and stuck their neck out for me countless times.

bri

9/19/2022 12:31:33 pm

i completely agree with your definition of a hero

Tay

Janna Fisher

A hero is someone who puts the feelings of others in front of their own. Some people I think are a hero would be my parents they have always been there when no one else was. Brandon Farris because he makes me laugh. My final hero would be my older sister because she throws hard truth at me that helps me realize what I need to think about.

Tristan Cooper

9/19/2022 12:22:12 pm

A hero is someone that has done something significant to impact someones life. My mom and dad because they helped me through life. My grandma as well

Riley S.

9/19/2022 12:25:11 pm

I agree

Colton

9/19/2022 12:22:18 pm

A hero is someone who puts others needs before their own to help people in need. My mom is a hero because she works at the hospital and helps people get better. Another hero is my dad because he works for the forest service and helps fight fire. Chris Rock is another hero because he showed people how to take a slap like a man.

logan

9/19/2022 12:24:45 pm

Chris Rock is a hero!

Bella

9/19/2022 12:22:32 pm

A hero is somebody who can save the day when nobody else will. Soldiers are heros because they fight in wars, teachers are heros for teaching kids, and parents for raising there kids.

A hero is someone to look up to. Heroes do the right thing for the greater good. Some heroes I know are: Jesus, Ghandi, and my parents

Riley J

9/19/2022 12:23:51 pm

A hero is someone who puts others before themselves. One hero is my mom because she puts her kids needs before her own. Another is Koryn Chatriand because she always is happy and says peace and fries. Lastly Firefighters are a perfect example of selflessness because they are constantly risking their lives to save other people.

Anna

9/19/2022 12:25:23 pm

My mother did not give you consent to be apart of this.

Makenna

9/19/2022 12:24:10 pm

A hero is someone that you can look up to and not feel ashamed about, a hero is also someone who puts someone else first without having to think twice about it. When I say that it's someone who does not feel ashamed about I mean by someone that you can look up to and not feel guilt-ed by it. My heroes are my mom, and both my sisters.

Anna

9/19/2022 12:24:16 pm

A hero is someone that sacrifices their own life or parts of their life for the good of others. My Grandpa is my biggest hero. Ms. Cooper and Mrs. Nelson are also my hero's.

Riley S.

9/19/2022 12:25:58 pm

My grandpa is also my hero.

Riley S.

9/19/2022 12:24:16 pm

A hero is someone that will help others even if it does not benefit them and/or involves bodily harm. My dad is my hero because he is willing to put his kids and wife first. My other hero is my Grandpa because he was always putting family before himself. My last hero is Pat Tillman because he put his country before himself and his career and later gave his life for his country.

a hero to me is someone who does good deeds in silence. I like heroes who work and succeed in silence, not ones who take all the fame and drown in it. Some silent heroes to me are the hot shot crews I was able to work with over the summer. We work in silence and do so many things behind the scenes that no one really knows about. I also think random people can also be heroes. Just doing a good deed out of nowhere to help/save someone is a small-town hero. Another hero to me is Ryan Upchurch. His music has forever changed my life and I will always be grateful for that

bri

9/19/2022 12:34:52 pm

THIS!!!!! you explained this perfectly! i honestly couldn't have worded it better. i think the ones who show there progress without flaunting the biggest steps, or biggest successes are also hero's, the ones who know they have enough money to help out friends and family who don't have it , but doesn't use it against them

jace

9/19/2022 12:29:33 pm

A hero to me is someone who does something big for someone else or helps out without having to be asked. A hero is someone who is a leader and a model for others to look at as an example. i can't really think of someone who is a hero to me.

Tay

9/19/2022 12:41:20 pm

i am your hero. i already told you this
