Parents are True Heroes

             We hear the word hero all of the time. The news media throws the term around as if it is an everyday word. What exactly is a hero? Who, or what, can be classified as a heroic? The correct definition of the word hero is: One invested with heroic qualities in the opinions of others (Webster's). That is a fine definition for books and intellectual minds. To the average person, however, a hero is much more. Everyone should look upon there parents as a hero because they make you what you are today.
             I choose my parents for lots of reasons, only a select few of which have I the space to describe here. The most obvious of these is that without them, I would not even be here. Beyond that, though, there are other things. Everything I believe in and everything I enjoy or dislike has to be linked to them in some way. The way they have brought me up has had a far greater influence on me than anything else this world has to offer .My parents, never complained to me about the cost of things. They made sure I had everything I needed to fit in, and that goes along way with me considering how cruel kids are when someone is different.
             Some things about me I can link directly to my parents and not to anyone else. For instance, would I use computers as much as I do today with out My Father's interest in them? Would I be such a fan of sports & wrestling if my father hadn't been one of the biggest wrestling fans I knew as a young child? If he hadn't taught me fair play, and introduced athletics to me, helped me with them, let me develop in them at my own pace, and shown me that one must work hard in order to achieve and perform better, would I follow sports, or have the desire to put in the time running, practicing, and lifting weights that is needed to perfect the imperfections and become successful. I would never have joined so many high school sport teams and enjoyed games purely for sport if it wasn't for my father
