First, Donald Driver wrote the book Driven to tell people about his childhood and how you can achieve any goal no matter what problems come along. “The reason behind the book was just telling the story,” Driver said. “For me it was trying to put everything in perspective, and letting people know that regardless of what obstacles you may face in life, whatever adversity, that you can overcome anything. You just have to continue to believe that you can be successful.”-Donald Driver.

A hero is someone who shows courage and has accomplished great deeds. A hero is someone who has nobility and is a role model to others. People can become heroes for different reasons. In the epic poem, Beowulf translated by Burton Raffel, the title character, Beowulf is a great warrior. He shows great courage in his battles, he is loyal and has great physical strength. Derek Jeter was one of the greatest baseball players of his time. In his article, “Derek Jeter-The Last Great Sports Hero,” writer Charlie Wisco tells what qualities Jeter possessed that he was admired for both on and off the field. Although Beowulf and Derek Jeter are both heroes, they both share similarities as well as differences.
A hero is someone who puts themselves before others. Heroic acts can range from small gestures to saving countless lives. Heroes are known for their bravery and outstanding achievements. Todd Beamer is a hero because because he was selfless and courageous and will sacrifice himself for others.
Brett Favre was more than just the starting quarterback in the Green Bay community and organization. He was face of the franchise, and a living legend in the national football league. Before Favre’s arrival to Green Bay, The Packers had only five winning seasons between the years of 1968 and 1991. In Brett’s sixteen NFL seasons with Green Bay, they recorded just one losing season. With the Packers Brett won three consecutive MVP awards coming in 1994, 1995, and 1996. He was nominated

There are many heroes, but there are those who sit back and question what or who makes a hero in today’s society. It has never been a set standard for heroes. In this modern world, there are many types of heroes. In today’s media, there is a contrast between million dollar sports figures, glorified celebrities, and the normal people we call heroes. Some heroes receive no recognition and others receive hero status with ease. However, it has yet to be determined whether our meaning of heroes has changed due to this influence. We have known about the
Heroes come in many different shapes and sizes. Not all heroes wear capes or have huge logos on their chest but are the ones who go beyond the call of duty. Heroes step up in times of need when most will not. A hero can also be someone who uses their disability to make a difference rather than looking at their disability as a hindrance. I believe Steve Gleason qualifies as the perfect example of this type of hero. Steve Gleason, former New Orleans Saints player, became famous when he blocked a punt versus the Atlanta Falcons during the first game back in the Super Dome. The other reason Steve Gleason is famous is because of his battle with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and how he has used his disability to make a difference. Steve Gleason exemplifies heroic qualities through his courage, altruism, and selflessness.
“Amongst the qualities a hero should have, I would include determination, loyalty, courage, perseverance, patience, focus, intrepidity and selflessness.” This quote from Ricky Martin perfectly fits Pat Tillman, past Army veteran and NFL player. Pat Tillman was born on November 6, 1976 in Fremont, California. He went to Leland High School and played for their football. After he graduated high school, Tillman went to Arizona State University for college and played for their football team as well. Soon after he graduated, he got drafted into the NFL, playing for the Arizona Cardinals. In 2002 Tillman enlisted himself into the United States army to help fight after the 9/11 attacks. But he sadly passed away because of friendly fire on April 22, 2004. Pat Tillman was a man with many amazing qualities: determination, loyalty, and humble/selfless.
Heroes are leaders who are brave, strong-willed, and bold. Ordinary people can be heroes if they have the perseverance to extraordinary actions. Heroes are people who put others’ needs before their own. These individuals sacrifice themselves for others. They rise up from rock bottom to do ground-breaking actions that no one believed that they could. To many, Joe Rantz is considered a true hero for never giving up when others gave up on him.
In America, we often idolize our sports stars. However, we do not always idolize them for the right reasons. Throughout many of our childhoods and even adult lives, we see athletes as heroes, but are they just good athletes or do they have characteristics that make them truly heroic? Pat Tillman was not just an NFL star, but a true hero. He lived a life of bravery, honor and sacrifice that still influences people to this day. Pat Tillman set an almost unreachable standard of character that everyone, not just athletes should strive for.
In conclusion, Jackie Robinson should be your hero for of all the amazing accomplishments he has
A hero is typically seen as a well rounded individual who does good deeds for others. Whether it is saving someone from a fire or rescuing a missing child, they can be relied on and trusted to continue helping others. However, this was not the case with Reality Winner, a former NSA employee that leaked information stating that there was Russian interference during the 2016 American election. Normally, a hero displays that they are trustworthy, respectful, and brave, which are traits Winner does not reflect. Due to this, Winner cannot be labeled as an American hero.
A person whom is looked up to and inspires just by possessing the overwhelmingly powerful personality that so many desire, yet can never achieve; it’s similar to a gift given when born that graces them from that moment forward. Heroism can be based off something of a personality trait, or something that makes a person the naturally whole type of person they are. The word ‘hero’ can have many different types of meanings and connotations that can come with it but the best definition to fit the legacy of the late Kurt Caselli is as follows: “A man who is idealized for possessing superior qualities in any field” which defines Caselli in all ways and directions; backwards, forwards, sideways, and upside down (dictionary.com). Kurt Caselli was one that hung his head high no matter what the circumstances and always emerged on top, and in the process was affecting the lives of thousands of young and old followers alike with inspiration to be the best and “be remembered as a person, not a racer” (personal quote from Kurt Caselli). Caselli should be considered a hero because of his determination to perform, appeal to crowds, and just be an all-around good friend to lend out a helping hand when needed. He has touched the hearts and souls of many, even though still believed he was a little guy, just like every other ‘average joe,’ but for those he left behind, whether on the trail or in life, he left an effect that would never be lost.
A hero is someone that shows courage and bravery and is admired for their actions. Sometimes, a hero is someone unexpected and would never have been thought to be a hero by anyone because of who they are, or what and where they come from. One example of unexpected heroism, is from three greasers, Dallas Winston, Johnny Cade, and Ponyboy Curtis from The Outsiders. Dally, Johnny, and Ponyboy can be considered heroes because of some actions and choices they made.
