Heroes

Tweet

A hero is someone willing to look beyond self limitations in order to help others. A hero can be a fireman or an officer, even an animal, or just your average Joe. They give selflessly in order to better the lives of others. A hero is someone whom lifts you up when you have fallen, someone to look up to, a mentor, a teacher, or even a counselor. It is also about overcoming obstacles, not just for ones own sake, but for the sake of others. It is about knowing when to stand up and knowing when to back away for perspective. It is about responsibility. A hero is anyone, or anything, that steps outside the boundaries of self limitation and fear and helps others to overcome hardships and suffering at risk to self. I don't really have just one hero. I consider all of those whom have stood up for their ideals and beliefs to be heroes. My teachers and mentors are also my heroes because they have tread the path before me. Those whom labored for the things they value, those doing so now and those whom have gone before us, these too are my heroes.
