Yes, as I'm getting older it is harder to have heroes for multiple reasons. I look at fictional heroes and I know that there fake but as far as people in my life I still have heroes, but I tend to try and do things myself. I like to be independent but sometimes I still need help from the heroes in my family.

A hero is the one who's alone most of the time. Keeps everything to themselves and is silent and focused. I'm not talking about superman or Iron man I'm talking about the person who has maybe had something bad happen in the past and they wanna make up for it.

A hero is a person who can be kind and generous, but also be able to save others and have that courage/bravery to make a change., whether it be a big thing or a small thing. The first real life hero I have chosen is Rose Parks because she had the bravery to defy the rules and help start the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The second one is Martin Luther King Jr. and how he had the bravery to stand up for what is right and helped with the Civil Rights Movement.

A hero is someone who puts others needs above their own. Someone who would greatly inconvenience themselves to benefit someone else. like if someone blew their tire on the side of the road and someone pulled over to help, that's a hero. they didn't need to pull over, they got places to be and they could've just hoped someone else pulled over. A hero is also a doer, someone who doesn't wait for someone else to help.
example one is the one i said earlier about the tire. someone blew their tire on the side of the freeway and a hero pulls over to help them put on a spare. simple yet heroic act
example two is someones house is on fire, someones still inside. fire fighter (or maybe just a neighbor) runs inside to make sure they can get out safely. putting their life in danger for the benefit of others
example three, someone notices youre sad or look lonely so they offer to come pick you up and take you to lunch and they'll pay
they didn't have to do that and paying for 2 is them going out of their way for your benefit
