Heroism

             A hero is a symbol of courage, hope, and victory. When I think of a hero, I think of firefighters, polices, nurses or doctors which are all people skilled in helping people in need. Anyone can be a hero. I have a friend who I recently met who has become my hero. He's always there when I really need a true friend. Once, I was in a tight position where I got into a car accident and needed some help to get my car fixed and paid off. I was stressing and going to work, taking long shifts that way my paychecks would come out good; that way I could pay the damage getting fixed on my car. Without questions and knowing what I was doing my friend helped me and thanks to him I have my car back.
             What is a hero? How does a hero come to be? Why does a hero come to be? In my opinion a hero is somebody who is caring, intellectual, and puts him or herself before others. Someone who goes out of their way and reaches out to those in need of help. A hero to me can be anyone from any race, age, religion, and even gender. A hero provides a feeling that motivates you to do the same or at least stride to be better as such. Heroes usually come from t.v shows, movies, parents, family members or siblings. I believe that a hero is someone who in one way or another made an impact on someone else's life, by the way they conduct their selves and base their decisions on.
             Anyone from high class to lower class; from professionals to nonprofessionals can be a hero, just that some aren't publicly recognized as such. A hero is usually faced with many obstacles and problems which is what we know as the evil. According to an article titled, "What is a hero?" by Phillip Zambardo, "it's the way that they get through it, and the decisions that they make that makes them a hero or their act; a heroic one". The main point of this paper is that we can all be heroes and heroic in our own way, but some heroes are recognized and some aren't.
