Can a hero be an average person?

A hero is someone who shows courage and achieves particular things where they put others before them. Everyone might think a hero is someone who has a brave job but in fact a hero can be in anyone and they might not realize. There are certain situations in which sometimes we need to be heros and help others. Joining the service means your a hero because you are defending our country and everyone in it. You made the decision and sacrifice to put your life on the line and not see your family for months even years. You could be an average person just looking to do a job you want to. A hero could be someone who gives back to those in need, who don’t have money or clothes those who are homeless and no food. By that person giving them food or even a jacket could mean the world to someone who has nothing. They would consider you to be a hero just from a simple act of kindness. It does not always take a lot in order to be a hero. A hero can range anywhere from an average person to someone who puts their life on the line when they got to work. Having a hero is especially important this day in age with all the bad that goes on in the world everyday there are still good people in the world who do for others and not themselves.It’s important we still show the younger generations the good of the world and heroes really do exist. They admire heroes they look up to everyone good or bad influencers. When we show them heroes who do good in our communities it makes them want to do the same in return. It’s a big cycle that keeps going. We can have heroes who are police officers, our parents, families, people we work with and our teachers we have. Everyone we meet makes an impact on us at some point. Depending on that impact we may consider them to be our heroes even if they just sit and talk to us, be there or for teachers sometimes they are heroes without getting the real recognition from it. Students look up to teachers and some kids that are coming from not so good homes, rough backgrounds and struggling with their families that one part of the day going to school could mean the world to them. There could be that one teacher that could sit and give them the attention and time or help them when they need it. That one teacher could be their hero.  It is true we all could be heroes or we are waiting for our times to show how we are a hero but whether that day come or not we might be a hero to someone and have no clue about it. Being a hero can change lives, a hero can range from a police officer, firefighter to even an average person.Heroes make huge impacts upon people’s lives.
