Her Own Hero
“Break the silence! Be bold and brave! Never lose yourself!” That was me ten years ago. Now, I’m marrying a man I do not love and dealing with my mother’s constant disapproval of the woman I am. So, yes, I am as unfulfilled with my life as one can be, and this is how it how it all started:
18 year old Aruni Patil was a beautiful, young woman with long black hair, clear caramel skin, a slim physique, hazelnut eyes that twinkled and a smile that could brighten even the grumpiest spinster’s day. It’s amazing what 10 years of constant unhappiness can do to a person. The girl I was once was is not remotely close to the woman I am now. I was ready, ready to finally live my life as an adult until the day my father died. Following my father’s death, my mother needed someone to obsess

I woke up, put away the groceries as per his instructions, hung his dry cleaning exactly as he had requested and packed the towels exactly as he had taught me. I was doing his tie for him when I noticed my reflection in a mirror. I saw a 28 year old woman with multitudes of bags under her eyes, disheveled hair with a hint of greys, cold-looking pale skin, a protruding stomach and eyes that had no life beyond them. Jival looked at me disapprovingly and tapped his watch indicating that I was taking too long. That was the moment. The moment I felt bravery surging inside of me. I slapped him, no, I believe it was a punch, I can now remember the pain in my knuckles. It was so amazing. That was when my mother walked in. I looked her in the eye and, out of nowhere, I slapped her. The feeling of my hand connecting with her cheek was of utter exhilaration. I recall yelling, at the top of my lungs, “I AM FINALLY READY TO START LIVING MY LIFE FOR ME!” I stormed out of the bedroom with the cheekiest grin on my face. Then, I thought to myself, “For the first time in 10 years, I am alive! Aruni Devaah Patil is finally
To answer this simply: we know as much as we want to. When one looks up to another person, one sees them under some sort of angelic halo. The hero's flaws become non-existent or are viewed through a filter that does not insightfully analyze it because nobody wants to see their hero in a bad light. A hero is illustrated as somebody that others idolize, cherish and look to for guidance. I believe the reason we may refuse to see their flaws is because that would demolish the image of the glorified role model we so very admired. Furthermore, in regards to more reasoning, it is reassuring and relieving to have a figure that is consistently stable that you can continuously look to for guidance and inspiration. Thus, a potential reason we may render
Heroes make the world a better place.These people should be put in a hall of fame of some type for heroes. Like the NFL’s. Three heroes who should be honored in the Hero Hall of Fame in Gandhi, Abraham Lincoln, and Jackie Robinson.
Martin Luther King, Jr., always fought for what he believed in. No matter how difficult the fight got he never gave up. He always accepted the call to adventure. High school is soon coming to an end and I will begin my own hero's journey.
An epic hero is defined not only as one that battles supernatural creatures. An epic hero is one that has a quest and that must overcome obstables. There can be many epic heros when looking at man verus man for example some one fighting overseas in the millitary. The solider must overcome many obstacles while on the quest to helping create peace. The solider looks up to a supernatural being such as God for guidience and help. Many soliders will say God helped them their their quest and helped them survive. So I believe with the conflicts of humanith a true epic hero can emerge. When have many epic heros such as a fireman, the police, and the military. The list can go on and
Most epic heroes have the a lot of good qualities. Some of the following characteristics that epic heroes typically possess are courage, humble, brave, and down to earth type of person. Beowulf is very courageous, because he fights Grendel to protect his people after Grendel killed thirty of his men. He also goes against Grendel’s mother when she comes back for revenge of her son. He ends up having a battle with her and wins.
I beleive that heroes do exist in this universe. Heroes do not have super speed or super strength, they cant even fly. Heroes are ordinary people with the mindset like a winner.
I believe that we need a hero to guide us to a life that we will live happy because heros give us the protection and guidance to guide us to that life. Heros are the people we look up to in life because they allow us to live peacefully. Heros can be people who motivate you to become a hero, or even try to surpass them. Since a hero is there for you, and motivation is there too then, you can follow the footsteps of that particular hero and be a hero yourself.
As a veteran seventeen-year-old living a fortunate life faced with no extreme dilemmas, being asked who my hero is really forces me to shift my focus onto the not-so-great times of my life. Thankfully, my focus is shifting back many years from now and not any recent events.
Heroes today are thought to be people who do extraordinary things or people who help out in little ways. Some people consider celebrities heroes and even more people consider the hardworking law enforcement and firefighters heroes. These are all fine examples of heroes, but I believe in Sailor Moon, a spunky girl living in half-hour cartoon segments . She never falls from grace, into the seedy belly of drugs or breaking laws, her glory never fades and despite her knack for walking into traps she always come out on top in the end, but most of all she’s my hero.
My Hero is my dad, he has sacrificed many things for my family. My dad hasn’t gotten a new pair of boots that he needed just so he could give my family what we wanted. My dad has worked overtime just so I could have a car and be able to go out with friends and has taken me to get my license. he had bought me many things as a child. My dad has been driving the same truck the past 5 years just so me and my mom can have better cars. My dad wants the best for my family, but he is very materialistic when it comes to what my family has. He always wants the best of the best wether its a TV, car, anything.This man has done things for me that I wouldn’t expect him too, he has cooked for me, went and got food for me, taken me to friends houses, done
My definition of hero is a person who goes above and beyond to achieve a goal. A true hero is honest, intelligent, brave, and resilient. A hero does not cheat, or lie to achieve a goal. A good example of a hero would be Dean Kamen who is an engineer and a person who looked onward to the future. Or someone like Elon Musk who devotes his time money and effort to help change the world. A fictional example of a hero would be someone like Odysseus. A man who had a challenge before him to get to his home. And he worked hard to achieve his goal. If we lived in a world without heroes then it would look a lot different. Without heroes then there would be so much lost progress. Inventions never invented, things never discovered, and Generations of people
“he·ro[ˈhirō]NOUN heroes (plural noun) 1. a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.” Most people think of this definition when they think of the word “hero”, however when others think of the word “Hero” a different definition comes to mind. A hero is a person who other people look up to for guidance because they impacted their lives and whenever there was a tough situation that person got through it. That definition are also three traits that every hero needs. While there are many different types of heroes, the following three character traits are generalized to fit most heroes. A hero is someone who impacts someone's life in any way, regardless if it emotionally or physically. For instance,
“Is it difficult to be granted a wish to spend a lifetime as a happy person surrounded by the people we hold dear to our heart, mom?” I asked. She gave me a response as if I was a child who still believe in the same old happy ever after tales that is often portrayed in the media, “Of course, if that is what your heart desire. Everything is possible.” At the time I was child, who though didn't believe in tall tales anymore, believed in the spoken words of my guardian and took them to heart. As I venture through life, I came upon the struggles and labors that both my parent kept quiet about. I would hear their frustration but I would only see a smile on their face. I couldn’t handle the closure anymore so I watched them closely
within crowds of people and unnoticed. Everyone has their own personal hero in their life, and they may be famous or they may be just everyday people you see on the street. For me, my personal hero is my dad for numerous reasons. His amiable attitude, his altruistic ways, and his positive approach to challenges makes my dad my personal hero.
What is a hero? In my view a hero is someone that you admire. You may
