A hero is someone you can look up to for moral or physical standards and someone holds the protection of others highly. One example of heroes would be law enforcement officers. Another example of a hero would be fighter fighters. Finally, I would classify my hero as my Uncle who I have always looked up to.

Well a hero in my opinion is someone who does good deeds like picking up trash on the side of the road or is willing to help someone and is willing to put their life on the line for someone else. I would say my mother is a hero because she is willing to save anyone or protect anyone. She also will go out of her way to help people.

A hero is someone you can look up to, to try and be like. It is someone who you believe is extremely strong and thinks they can conquer anything. My hero is my dad because he is the strongest person in my eyes and hes been through so much but never gives up.

A hero is someone that people look up to. People that are looked up to give hope to other people and that is why I think they are labeled as heros. My dad, he is a great dad, Aidan he's a pretty good guy, Tanner I've always had my brother through thick and thin 24/7

A hero is a person who saves lives and risks themselves. A few examples are Military personal, Police, and health care workers.

A hero is someone who has morals to do good helping someone/saving someone and a hero is someone you look up to that you trust to do their job. One examples are fire fighters. Another example is police officers. Last example is doctors and nurses.

A hero is a person who does good things and doesn't expect anything in return. An example is a soldier who goes to fight for their country. another example is someone stepping up and being an example to others of what a good person is. And finally someone that people look up to and deserve to have people look up to them.

In most cases a hero is someone who puts extra effort and determination then others to use there individual skills, training and in some rare cases powers of some sorts to protect others and/or complete some ethically and worldly based problem to be fixed in some form. Real-life heros:
1. Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. for his for his ethical and ethinistic efforts for better outcomes, there are also many in this era of time.
2. LDS Headquarters President Russel M. Nelson for his religouse efforts and guideness for the LDS religion.
3. Most all Emergency Management personnel including Federal EMS - Fire & Rescue Paramedics - Air Idaho Rescue (MEDEVAC) Paramedics for the continues Mass Cassualty Incident Managment (MCI) - Incident Command (IC) and all other Emergency Management Dispatch Calls.

A hero is someone who helps or fixes a situation. For example Martin Luther king, our founding fathers, and Steve from Orielly's. They all have helped other people with issues in their lives.

I highly agree, with Steve from Orielly's.

I think a hero could be anybody you look up to or people who save lives. In my opinion I think doctors and nurses are heros. They go through a lot in a day and put up with alot while also making sure people are taking care of their bodies. They save a lot of lives and put up with a lot of mental aspects of life. Another example of a hero could be like your parents. They are always there for you making sure you're doing your best and helping you when you need help, weather its for school or just mentally.

some one who is admired because they are courageous. Three real life heroes are Jacob because he saves people, Britton's grandpa because he went to war, and Hubert because he is batman.

A hero is someone who does what's best for the majority of people or mankind before making decisions for himself/herself, heros tend to do the most heroic thing. And I sometimes think the killing is more of the hero than even the hero is. Examples: A teacher saving their class when a shooter comes in, parents for doing all they do for their kids, police risking their lives for the US people. And being a hero or doing hero acts can be as simple as picking up garbage, helping other, doing whatever is MORALY right in any decision

A hero is a lot like an idol, they're someone to look up to and try to be like. Or they can be the guy who saves the day. Three modern day heroes I think of are:
David Goggins, he makes others better themselves and try to produce their greatest version of themselves possible.
Tim Kennedy, an absolute stud of a man, served in the military and was a professional fighter. Saved a bunch of people in a war.
Neil Armstrong, opened up new possibilities of the moon and space.

A hero is somebody that fights for what they have and doesn't back down. A hero to me is someone who helps others with what they don't understand and picking up things others leave behind. The most important hero to me is someone who has served for our country to fight for our freedom.

I feel like a hero is someone that a person can look up too and appreciate what they have done to help that person out in some way shape or form. My first hero has to be Martin Luther King, Jr for having the drive and mentality to make a change. My second hero would be Cameron Hanes for having the mentality to keep grinding no matter what is happening around him. Then finally for last it would be Wayne Gretsky for making a name for himself in the pro hockey industry.

When I think of a hero I picture someone courageous, a warrior, someone willing to risk their life for the greater good. Someone who puts others before themselves. My favorite hero would be my grandpa, he was pilot during the veitnam war, he flew apache helicopters, he is a great father figure and grandpa too. Another hero would be Jacob, an amazing first responder. I also think of fire fighters and search and rescue guys.

A hero is someone that helps people and gives them hope and encouragement. Some examples for me are Kyle Larsen, Andy McMillin, and Scott from Napa.

They have given me things to look forward to, and helped me in many ways.

A hero is a person that is courageous and accomplishes incredible feats. Such as Martin Luther King Jr. He was courageous to stand in front of all those people, and accomplished the great deed of starting the end of outright racism. Also George Washington, since he stood his ground against the Brits, and through hard work, was able to come out on top. And lastly, my dad, since her is courageous by standing for what he thinks is right when he has to go to meetings, and has managed to raise four boys.

A hero is someone who you might look up to or has done something to change your perspective / help you. A hero can look different to everyone. A hero can be someone in a movie or someone you are inspired by.

Examples:
- someone who has helped you through something
- someone you look up to
- someone who has done or achieved something and you look up to them

Someone who puts others before themselves. Soldiers, they fight for the freedom of others with the knowledge they might die. Firefighters, will run into a burning building without a second thought. Police, protect people in very dangerous environments.

A hero is one to make something better for the good of all, usually admired and idealized.

1: Mahatma Gandhi: Used non-violent resistance to separate India from British rule

2: Martin Luther King Jr: Prominent leader in the civil rights movement, particularly for helping stop racial segregation between black people and helping enstate the civil rights act and voting rights act

3. Nikola Tesla: pioneered the use of alternating current electricity, which is able to be transmitted over much greater distances

A hero can be many different things. They can be people we look up to or just people that we value. They also think of themselves before others. Steph Curry can be a hero because of the way he has changed the game of basketball as well as how so many kids and adults look up to what he has done and is doing. Teddy Roosevelt has been a hero for society because of all the laws he applied and created to keep our outdoors in tacked. Gandhi is also a hero. He fought for what he believed and showed courage. All of these people take different twists on what a hero is and shows that they are big parts of society and not just one thing makes them a hero.

A hero is Steve from O'reillys, because he helps Jared and he tells me I can't come in the store because heros make you better, so I come in the back door. Another hero is Rex from Wisdom, he provides my family with pizza, he is my hero because I like the pizza from Wisdom.
Another honorable mention is Judy from burger king, always whipping up ice cream even if the machine is broken, a heroic act. Heros are the ones who provide you with what you need.

A hero is a person that someone looks up to, or someone that does a great service for a group of people.

I would consider Aristotle to be one of my personal heroes. Him, along with Plato, made many contributions to the fields of philosophy and science.

Another person I would consider to be a hero in our society would be Sigmund Freud. He was the man who pioneered psychoanalysis and he changed the way the mind and mental conditions are seen today.

One more person that I would define as a hero is Hippocrates, or, Hippocrates of Kos. A Greek philosopher and physician who was known as the "father of western medicine". He wrote books, describing many medical conditions in a scientific manner, their early treatments.

A hero is somebody who is selfless and caring. A hero to me is Jesus because he saved and gave everything. Another is Jacob he is always watching and waiting to help.
-Selfless
-Empathetic
-Caring

A hero is someone who is brave enough to stand up for others when they aren't able to. A hero puts others first and is willing to go out of their way in order to help the people around them. My heros are my mom, My old volleyball coach Mrs. Severe, and Craig Larsen
