“Heroes are ordinary people who make themselves extraordinary.” ~Gerard Way. Heroes come in many shapes and sizes, but they above all inspire us to be better in all ways. Some heroes in my life would be: Jesus, Christopher Paolini, and C.S. Lewis. Jesus was born to a virgin, and around the age of thirty he started his ministry to teach and love on everyone he met, and a couple years later was killed for our sins but rose three days after. Christopher Paolini is an American author who was very advanced in school early in life, after graduating at 15, he wrote the first draft of the book Eragon, the first book of his famous Inheritance Cycle. C.S. Lewis was a British writer who wrote the Chronicles of Narnia series and many other theological …show more content…
Paolini’s series was such a fun series to read, and even though it is just a fantasy series, he raises some really good points to real life issues as well. I chose C.S. Lewis because he also was an author of a good book series, and not just that, but he was also greatly devoted to Christianity later in his life, and I want to be as devoted as he was. Lastly, Jesus. I chose him because of how he treats others, no matter if they are sinful or clean, holy or evil, Jew or Gentile, he would talk to them and pour out his love on everyone. He loved us so much that he died on the cross to protect us from our sins, even though most of us don’t know him or even care about him. That takes a lot of love to sacrifice yourself for someone that doesn't know your name or anything about you. That kind of love is unconditional, and I want to love others the same way.
Heroes can influence us in many different ways, so it’s good to have inspiring heroes such as Jesus, Christopher Paolini, and C.S. Lewis. Having a hero means you have someone to look up to, someone that can show you what to do in the tough times, and help you lead your life down the right path. A hero can be anyone in your life, whether it’s your mom or dad, your teacher, your coach, or someone that doesn’t know you personally like your favorite author or celebrity. The one thing that’s important, is that you have heroes
One of the most important heroes would be my parents. They have done so many things for me, the’ve gave me food, clothes, and a place to live. I remember that we lived with my three uncles in a trailer because we had no other place to live. I would sleep in a little bed with my mom when I was born, and my dad would sleep in another bed. There were only two rooms so we were really crowded. That is really sad, imagine yourself living with three men that were really gross, like I mean gross. But I was still a happy kid.
“It’s not easy to be a hero. You do it because of what you believe, not because of what other people deserve.” Anyone can face a challenge or a hardship. But what makes a true hero is how the person takes on the challenge. Often, heroes show feats of ingenuity and acts of bravery. Two heroes that acted during the American Civil Rights Movement, were Martin Luther King Jr, and Rosa Parks. A hero is a person who has demonstrated behaviors to ethically receive our appreciation and respect. A hero is an ordinary person who finds the strength within themselves to persevere and undergo hardships and calamity.
Heroes bring hope to people and countries by bringing support and supplies to those in need. As seen by all the examples, a hero is not someone who thinks about themselves but someone who does things that they believe are right and are admired or idealized for their
Anyone who influences anyone else by saving or helping save his or her lives can be a hero. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. changed the lives of millions of people by bringing justice to minorities. Mahatma Gandhi, one of the greatest heroes, led a nonviolent revolution to free his country. Even a parent can be a hero to his or her child by leading them in the right direction. All teachers are heroes when they make it their job to teach a child anything that will help them in life. You don’t have to go to great lengths by risking your life to make a difference in someone else’s life.
My hero has made a huge impact on my life. They have always been there for me and supported my decisions. Whether it was a good or bad decision, I had always learned from it. When things got rough they always made sure we were happy and kept a smile on our face. One of these people were very sick but always managed to make sure we were okay. While the other one is taking care of us the best that they can he has many health issues as well. These people are my parents.
The most important trait all heroes must have is that their actions are for others, not for themselves, and they act selflessly. A hero recovers from their struggles determined to inspire others around them to be their best. Heroes can come in all different ages, races, genders, and personality types. There are many heroes around, even in everyday life. It could be a friend, a relative, even a coworker. In my case, it was my classmate Nick Kimble. Nicholas Kimble, also known as “No-Knees Nick,” was born at home in a kiddie pool. From a young age he was interested in Latin and would draw detailed pictures of famous Greek scenes, not unlike the renaissance artists. Naturally, he pursued Latin in his high school career, which is where I met
When we hear the word 'hero,' more than one idea comes to mind. Not only do we think of people that we look up to in our world, but we also think of heroes in the fictional world. To be a hero can mean a variety of different things. Leaders, singers, and even parents can be a hero that someone looks up too. But in the fictional world, a hero is someone who has learned from his or hers journey to come out a changed person. Some characters complete the journey, while others do not quite make it to the end. In The Odyssey, Odysseus takes more than one leap of faith on his journey to become a hero by learning from his mistakes, making personal sacrifices, and becoming a better man.
What comes to mind when you think of the word “hero”? Some people would think of a fictional character such as Superman, a comic-book character who has great strength, and can fly. Others might think of a historical figure, such as Abraham Lincoln, 16th president of the United States. While the aforementioned examples are not only noteworthy, but also well-liked for their courageous characteristics, there are many other qualities to being a hero.
A hero can be viewed differently in many eyes. Author and lecturer Joseph Campbell, has correlated a hero as usually being a male, often of lowly birth, but with special powers or a higher birthright, the hero doesn’t know about. Also, the hero parents are often dead, absent, or uncaring, and the hero is judged by the actions he takes and the way he reacts and relates to people. In the opinions of others, a hero is also a person admired for bravery, great achievements, abilities or good qualities and is regarded as a role model. A hero is also, admired for having done something very courageous or having succeeded in something great. In literature, the hero is the main character of a story, play, or movie. In the textbook, The Norton Anthology
The person i consider to be the most inspiring and heroic is my dad Dr.Maurice Landers.Ther reason i consider him a hero is because he has made a big impact on mine and and others lives.He grew up in a small town of Mississippi called Port Gibson, there wasn't much there and he grew up in still accomplish his dreams.He exceeded his dreams, he went through college and almost failed the class that his job is mainly based but turned it all around on what he kept going and now we live in a beautiful house because he kept going.This is just one reason why he is a hero.
Heroes are a necessary part of everyday life. We need true heroes because they are people that we encounter daily. A hero is not always someone with superpowers. Heroes can be teachers, coaches, counselors,
can be a hero. One person for me is Aaron Valencia. Aaron also stated that he had to grow up fast in an environment with drugs, alcohol & physical abuse. Aaron lived a rough child hood & ended up going to rehab in 1999. He never looked back since, he opened an garage & started restoring Cars after that he started an after school program to work on restoring classic cars. I find Aaron Valencia as a role model, Thought full & kind.
The idea of a hero has always been something of great importance to my upbringing. Although my biggest role models are my parents, they always stressed the idea of having positive role models and people to emulate and look up too, whether it be a coach who shows me the importance of leadership and team building, or a teacher who shows me the importance of remaining focused and the importance of education. Overall it is crucial to have these sort of people in one’s life. Another type of role model is someone that the person does not know personally, but still looks up to greatly.
Heroes are those who have gone above what the average person would do to ensure the welfare of others. Natural disasters, terrorism, poverty, and war are some of the many things that destroy and end people’s lives. Throughout history, many people have made a difference. However, as history progresses, what we consider to be socially normal changes along with our definition of a hero. In Ancient Greece, Theseus, Hercules, and Perseus were considered heroes, but today only Theseus and Perseus would be considered heroes because Hercules would be shunned by society.
When thinking of a hero, the first idea that comes to mind is a person that receives admiration due to the acts in which they perform. With that said, a person that I personally admire is Ken Carter. Ken Carter was a basketball player who excelled at the collegiate level. He used the experience he gained to become a head basketball coach at Richmond High School, a rough inner-city school filled with below average students. Coach Carter accepted the job hoping to change this disturbing trend of grades.
