What is a hero?

Some people say heroes are the ones who save and expect none, others think when you care for others, and some say that they are the ones that fight for what they want for others. The truth is that a hero is someone who can be what I mentioned and more. I consider that a hero is subjective, they are admired people. But sometimes someone could be a hero for 1 person and the other do not consider him a hero. So if we look close enough we can see that a hero could be anyone.

            In order to be hero, in my consideration you have to have certain values and characteristics. A hero is someone who has the correct values and knows the difference of what is right and what is wrong. Usually they tend to do good for their community such as helping others and improving theirselves every possible day. Someone who acts with no self interest, is a hero. Generally people who care about what other might think of them tend to do it only for acceptance. But real heros don’t really care about that.

            A great example of what is a hero is David hidalgo, my cousin. He is very collaborative, empathic and knows how to manage problems. He is councious about everything, and does not think when they ask him to help. He jus does it and with a very good manner. Everyone always tells me about how astonished they are with him. In my opinion my cousin is a very good role model, because he knows how to handle each one of the personalities that surrounds him. He is a man which is distinguished in his ability and admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities.

            A hero works beyond his or her job, it could be as a volunteer. A hero responds to a social need, or the needs of a person or group. A hero moves out of her comfort zone such as doing something he/she has no experience with and could put its life on the line. A hero has had an impact on others, he helps the les fortunate but also the contraty, sometimes raise funds for specific causes, or rescue someone whose life is in danger.
