Heroes have always been played out to be the brave, strong, muscle men who saves the fair maiden from trouble, but in reality a heroes definition is expanded into a larger meaning. Heroes come in many shapes and sizes. They come in many different forms as well. A hero can be portrayed by a simple hug to make some ones day better to saving a person form a close death experience. A hero is someone who is willing to put their life on the line to help you out.

A hero is a friend, a teacher, your mom or dad, the president, police, firefighters. It's someone who has made such an incredible impact on you that it has changed you for the better. Heroes are people who you will always remember because of their lack to let you down. They know that doing the right thing to help someone or make a difference in some ones life is more important than being a little scared. Anyone can be a hero.

If it's helping a person make a right decision, making sure they don't choose a wrong path, lending an ear when they are in need, or physically saving some ones life. A hero is someone you look up to and appreciate for their dauntlessness. During 9/11 was a very heroic time for the United States. We had many people risking their lives searching for abandoned people. These people were willing to die for the safety of others and in a few cases we did have people die while searching the buildings. We had volunteers with abandoned dog homes and homeless shelter volunteers; we had many different people helping out because they knew that it was the right thing to do. That's what a hero is, some one that gets recognized for doing the right thing. Many people are heroes in this world. I am sure that we all are a hero to some one.
