I choice these three heroes because they did things they thought was right even though people told them it was wrong Harriet Tubman who freed slaves even when people told her she shouldn't, Malala Yousafzai who want women to have a proper education during a time people didn't think women should have a proper education, and final James Shaw Jr. who stopped a mass shooting in a restaurant full of African American people

A hero is someone who is courageous and willing to protect people, a hero can also be someone you look up to like your parents or famous people. Examles: my dad is a hero because he is a firefighter and has helped many people when their house's cought on fire. Police are heros because they protect people from crime and they can help you when you are in need. Doctors are heros because they save peoples lives when they are injured or dying.
