Bravery, courage, these are the things I think about when it comes to heroes. But what do you think about? Have you ever asked yourself what is a hero? Who are our heroes? What does it mean to be a hero? Although the answers are different for everyone, they all have similarities.
A hero can be anyone we look up to, fictional or real. They can be someone we've never talked to or someone we see every day. They might be brave. Your hero doesn't even have to be human! They could have courage and strength.
They could just have been nice to us when no one else was. They could be the one who's always there for you. Whoever they are, they are a part of our lives. I don't mean like they're standing in front of us, giving us advice, though they could be. I mean, we
create, adopt, or idolize heroes because we need them to help us grow. We use heroes to solve everyday dilemmas. They help us realize our passions, chase after our dreams and follow our hearts.
We have many heroes. Some, we don't even realize we had. When we were young, our heroes tended to be that of fiction. Robin Hood, Spiderman, Batman, The Incredibles, these were our heroes. We dreamt of fighting alongside them and saving the day. We also had real life heroes. Fire fighters, police, military men and women, they were people that we were taught to trust.
Remember when you were little and went shopping with your parents? They told us that if we couldn't find them then to go to a worker or a police officer and tell them we were lost. Sometimes our heroes are older siblings or parents, coming in to check on us and scare away the bad dreams. As we got older our fictional heroes were replaced by more real life, everyday heroes. They weren't gone; we just didn't need their help fulfill our dreams or chase away the monsters in our lives anymore. They have to have a quality about them that we like and admire. They should help us grow and learn. The one thing they should never do is shoot us down. If we are really passionate about something they should support us and love us for who we are.
That's why they are our individual heroes and no one else's. A hero should be dependable. They should be trustworthy and reliable. Sometimes they need to protect us from harm whether physical or mental. But most importantly, they shouldn't let us down.
We look up to heroes. They are a part of who we are; we all have heroes and different opinions on what a hero is. They all have one thing in common: to protect and help us grow. Even if we aren't grown, we couldn't have gotten this far without them. Fictional or real, male or female, human or not, every day or never, they are our heroes.
