SPIDER-MAN! BATMAN! SUPERMAN! Do recognize any of these names? Would you consider them heroes? If so, what makes them a hero? What does a hero mean to you?
Heroes are made, not born. Heroes have some attributes that others do not. To me a hero must be motivated, determined, courageous, and dedicated. This is why being a hero is not for just anyone to be. All heroes have their own story in which makes them motivated to do good. For Spider Man, he was determined to stop the crimes so that no one would face the hardship he faced when his uncle was killed. If Spider Man was not determined to take a stand, then justice would not have been served.
Heroes sometimes have to be courageous and do something they never thought they would do. For instance, Batman was terrified of bats, but due to his courage, he conquored his fear. A hero must also be dedicated and willingly sacrifice themselves to help others in need. Superman was willing to jump in front of meteorites, buses, and trains in order to save other people.
A hero is someone who takes a stand and makes a difference in people's lives. No matter how big or small their actions are, their heart is what makes them powerful.
