What Makes A Hero?

Kenny -

I think one characteristic a hero has to have is the virtue of being selfless. I think this because in the CNN student news Dr.Jim Withers is being selfless and bringing medical aid to the homeless people and people of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.I think this is being selfless because he is caring about people who cant get medical aid for themselves.He use to dress like a homeless to earn their trust but now he does not because he trust them.

A hero is someone who helps another person. A helpful person is a hero because, most heroes help others and do not ask for anything in return, especially money.

One example is Richard Joyner from North Carolina. Joyner, a local pastor, started a community garden after watching many of his parishioners die from preventable diseases. This shows he is a hero because, he is helping less fortunate people.

What Makes a Hero

By Zach

I think to be considered a hero you should be selfless. You should be willing to put yourself before others to contribute to the greater good. When you think of a hero you think of superman or ironman, not all heroes are seen in movies or comic books, they are normal people found in everyday life. Iraq and Afghanistan combat veteran, Sean Goblin, has been through many troubling war experiences and has processed them by hiking along 2,168 mile Appalachian Trail. He later named it the “Warrior Hike” and has helped many war veterans process their troubling war experience by guiding them along the trail. He put his life on hold to help other war veterans overcome their war experience which is a prime example of selflessness. In conclusion, to be considered a hero you should be selfless, just as Sean Goblin demonstrates when he helps war veterans process troubling war experiences in what he calls “walking off the war.”

A hero is someone who has performed an outstanding achievement usually to benefit someone who is in need. A great example of this is Dr. Daniel Ivankovich. For 5 years he has given free healthcare for over 5 years and has help over 100,000 people. This is a proof that he is hero because he gives up his time to help 100,000 of people who don’t have the money to pay for surgery or health care. That is why I think that Dr. Daniel Ivankovich is a hero.
