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.

A hero to me is someone we sought out to be like in life. Heroes do dangerous things not for themselves but for others. Some examples of heroes to me are Fire fighters, Police Officers, and Veterans.

a hero is someone that can make people have hope that there is something better in the world and someone thai is idilized by everyone. ithink police officers and vetrians are a good example of that.

A hero is someone who is known for their courageous and fearless acts. An example of a hero would be a doctor because they save lives.
Someone who is in the milatary is also a hero because they fight for our country. Firefighters are heros because they risk their lives trying to save others.

I think a hero is someone who has done something or thinks something that you idolize and want to model your life after.

3 examples of heros:
Rosa Parks - she stood up for colored peoples rights
Chris Kyle - he fought for our country
all doctors - they go through a long schooling process to take care of us normal citizens

A hero is a person who does something that is courageous, helps ones in need, a person who would do anything for somebody. Some examples are police officers and firefighters because they protect and serve their country. The same thing can be said for someone in the military.

A hero is someone who saves you from a life or death situation.

Police: They save people from school shooters and they save you from runaway cars.
Fire Fighter: They save you from fires where you couldn't escape but they get you out a live.
Doctor: They save you if you are in a bad wreck.

A hero is a person that has done acts of good for others, saving them from bad times or experiences, doesn't have to be for people, can be for animals too. War veterans are heros, search and rescue people are heros, and Doctors are heros because they save lives.

My definition of a hero is someone willing to risk themselves for the greater good of the people. It doesn't require sacrifice, though, sacrifices are always made while being a hero, it be big or small, a sacrifice being as big as their lives to as little as a piece of them is something to honor. To me, First Responders such a EMT's and Firefighters are heroes as they have to risk life and limb, as well as a piece of themselves, to do a job that doesn't even pay them that well. Along with these, is military, as members that go and serve always lose a piece of themselves after their experience.

Technically speaking the hero's we see in movies are fictional characters, so hero's to me are the people who are constantly putting their lives at risk to save others, making sacrifices to help others and putting others before themselves always. this is mainly talking about law enforcement, firemen, verterans and anyone who fights towards our country.

Brooke

Very good points.

Cadence

Agreed!

Having a sacrifice is generally a big point for heroes, and it shows that they aren't just looking for themselves

Ashley

yes it is harder to have a hero when you get older because you grow up and you don't play those silly games.

I see a hero as someone who can show the world kindness, even if they are beaten down. An example of this is the U.S military, they are constantly told they are just there to die and are expendable, but always show kindness to others, another is a veteran, as you show kindness to them, they reflect that, and finally the good people around you that you can aspire to be. All of these people have one thing in common, they all show all they can be, even if they are rude and crude sometimes.

A hero is someone that is courageous, determined, willing, and fearless. Martin Luther King, Gandhi, and Julius Caesar. These men are willing to put their life in danger to save someone else's. Firefighters, police officers, military, nurses, ect. are all heroes as well.

My definition of a hero is someone that does something courageous for others.
- My parents are my heroes because they have helped me to be successful in life.
- My grandpa has taught me so much and has always been there to help me out with school projects or anything.
- Gracy is my hero for helping me even through sickness, sacrificing her health to make me feel better.

a hero is someone who saves people and animals, they are known for their bravery and strength. I think that doctors and surgeons can be hero's because they save people. vets can be hero's because they save animals. Police officers are hero's because they are extremely brave and save people. Ashley is my hero because she always hauls my horse for me

In my opinion a hero is someone that is not scared of what people will say or think about them and someone that is not scared to live their life with no regrets. I also think a hero is someone that risks their lives for other people. Rosa Parks is a hero because she fought for colored peoples rights. Military people are also heroes because they risk their lives for our country. Another hero is my parents because they sacrifice a lot so I can be happy.
