What makes to be a hero?

In fact, anyone can be a hero - even you! What is a hero? Some people think a hero is a person that helps others in some way. You don't have to have a hero-type job like being Superman or a police officer. Heroes are not always people who are strong and well known. You don't have to wear a fancy suit or fight a super villain or stop a meteor. Heroes are people that help a person or a community. Most heroes have strong minds and are committed to what they are doing. Heroes may play a big role in being a hero or the may play a smaller role. It doesn't matter if you do something big or small. It just matters that you did it! Sometimes you can be a hero just by helping someone carry their books to the library or helping a person with a math problem. You're a hero to them.
