Heroes

my mom was always one of my heroes, and my dad too, I remembering thinking the Lone Ranger and Tonto, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans as well as Sky and Ann King as heroes. At least fantasy heroes seldom let you down, and I have to say that the stars of 50's and early 60's children's shows took their status as heroes pretty seriously.

I had to think hard about this one. I haven’t thought about a hero before...There are people I admire of course... There are those who are famous that I look up to but I cannot name one in particular. I asked my husband who his hero is as I was typing this and, without a pause, he said, “My dad...” I thought that was the loveliest thing ever...

My Heros is my friends who help me keep my head above the water that I at times feel like I am drowning in. I get so overwhelmed at times and so need their help and they go beyond the call of friendship to help me through my problems, and stand at my back when I need them.

We need to teach children that everyone can be a hero just by the way ther treat others. It seems that when someone does something heroic the first thine people do is try to find something wrong wit the person or what they did. Look at the Navy Seals - they risked their lives to do what the government wanted them to do. Now you have people calling them murders and questioning why the did things the way ther did.

I don't know that I have any heroes and there's no one I particularily follow on a regular basis. But you are right it was a nice move to see more traditional heroes that promote good citizenship and community service.

My grandmother and grandfather who raised me and my sister are my number one heroes.They took us in when noone else wantes us and gave us the best life they could.I lost them both a few years ago but I still keep them close in my heart.They helped me when I had no one else and held my hand.So my grandparents are my heroes!

Hi Ambie I did not grow up with a Hero no and even now I do not have a Hero I admire Firemen Police Officers Forces and all those kind their Jobs are hard I know as an ex forces Wife what it entails they deserve to be admired As you say there are bad ones yes but do not get them confused with the good ones Hugs to you

Mine was always John Wayne as he protrade many differnt people but always had honor and goodness on his side. My grand daughter ^ years old is into Juston Beiber yikes she so young lolololl

My dad was my hero! He was a WWII veteran..a disabled one too. He was the most patriotic person I have ever met and would lay down his life for family or country. For a small man he had the biggest heart. All year long he collected Teddy Bears and donated them at Christmas to needy kids..he treated all his family with love and respect. He worked hard..inspite of his handicap. He had a broken back in the war and couldn't do alot of things other people did...and he wore a back brace most of his adult life. There is no one that I know that even comes close to how high in esteem I hold him and his memory.

You know, I don't think my son has a person as a hero, if he did I don't know who..Hmm, this will make for an interesting discussion tonight before we go to bed... Mine is the same as your, Jesus is my hero too, if it wasn't for him, I'd be a total mess....Well, at least a lot worse off than I am now...

Hi AmbiePam, my hero would be a teacher that I had when I was in 3rd grade because she took me under her wing and treated me like I was just like everybody else. No one was allowed to make fun of me but they were allowed to help me with my school work if I got stuck. I wish I could say the same about my 4th grade teacher but I can't. She was mean as a rattlesnake. That's not an over statement, it's the truth. Another three heros of mine would be my dad, my husband and my nephew..... my dad because he raised me with so much love even with having a bitter heart from his childhood. Even though he wasn't much of a physical person (hugs and kisses) we all knew he loved us. My husband because he loves me unconditionally. Plus, my dad and husband have served time in the military defending our country. My nephew because he's a self made man. He bought his home without any help from anybody, he was fired from one job (not his fault) and got another job that same day and carried on till he was able to go to school to become a cop and graduated at the top of his class! He has three kids - one of whom he adopted along with a wife and is doing so deg gone good! I wish I could tell you about kids but I don't have any so I told you all about my own heros and yes at the age of 46, I still have my heros!

I didn't make your hero list I never really stop and think about who my heroes are. I'm sure I have a few.. people who've inspired me in some way. There are other people I respect and admire.. but for me I find that once I really begin to look at a person.. like try to find out more about them because I admire them so much.. I tend to find things I don't like and then end up losing respect for them. Because I could say that Jillian Michaels was my hero. She inspired me to lose a lot of weight. Whenever I felt like quitting and not getting through a work out I imagined her pushing me through it and I kept going. But then I turn around and I see her on GoDaddy commercials and coming up with weight loss pills and websites (and I truly believe pills and websites do not work.. and she knows that too.. so it's just a ploy to get more money). I ended up losing a bit of respect for her after that. My kids don't talk about heroes either. For my oldest it would probably be an athlete. My daughter would probably say Hannah Montana. Yeah... kinda scary! LOL

For me it is good to be it that you have a heroes but if you worship Jehovah God you have more than a heroes in your life.

Growing up given my background I did not really have any inspiring heroes, except for this one time when I was in class and being that I am Puerto Rican, born and raised in the US and living in foster homes. Many of the kids use to make fun of me. Well, I had no idea because some of them were Hispanic too, but we were watching The Martin Luther King Jr., speech during class and I use to be so intrigued, that the kids use to make fun as how I sat there quietly and awh, throughout the film. They use to make me cry, mind them all I was only8 years old, so the teacher use to site with me and hold my hand. She was a white Caucasian teacher. She use to say to me that one day I would really understand what the speech meant and I told her I really did understand that people then and tomorrow would always treat every one differently. So long story short, I did live by his and her words and he was my hero and she was my heroess. So what I am saying is that I lived with the fact that he was explaining that all people should be treated the same and she was telling me that I too would not care what anyone would say to me and that I would not treat anyone differently either because she saw it in me that day. Happy to say that to date, I have raised two wonderful kids to be just like me and have heard from both that I am a hero of life.

I think of my daughter as my hero. She embodies the traits I aspired to have, she seems to come closer to the mark than I ever did. I admire the things she does quietly with her life. I do not think we should lump any group of people together and call them names. In truth, many of the young people I see growing up are more heroes to me than the people of my generation. I think we are all heroes to someone, and we should stand a little taller and square our shoulders back and go about being the person that they see.
