My Heroes
When people think of heroes they think of some one with chiseled muscles and super powers that can make them fly or give them the strength of a hundred men, or they can run at the speed of light. Especially when people think of their favorite super hero duo their superpowers compliment each others and then they can help anyone with any situation, the last part is true for my favorite hero duo, my parents.
Parents are every kids first hero; most kids don’t realize that until they are older. When kids think of heroes they think of superman or batman saving a city from a bad guy, not their parents. Parents unconditionally love their kids and I am lucky to have that with my parents. When I was born I had many problems with me.

When heroes do things for people it is out of the kindness of their heart, its because they want to help others. My parents are the nicest people that I know, they put all of their children’s needs in front of them without any hesitation. Some of the things my parents have been able to do for me and siblings is still unbelievable to me. They work unbelievably hard to support my siblings and I, they have always been able to get us what we asked for, if we deserved it. Hero’s are the people that help people with no questions asked, they are there for people who need help getting back on their feet.
Heroes teach lessons on how to be successful. My parents are the hardest workers I know, they both grew up on farms and started working at six in the morning then went to school and then did chores until it was time to go to bed and then did it all again the next day. They have instilled a work ethic in me and my siblings that I can thank them for, they taught me to never do something half ass and do it right the first time. That is something that I carried with me for my whole life and have used everyday of my

    Over the years and years spent on studying mythology, Joseph Campbell came up with the concept of The Hero’s Journey. The Hero’s Journey states that all hero’s travel in a similar path and go through many similar stages that’ll lead them to their reward.

    The stage of a hero's journey I associate with to the most is stage five. I associate with this because I meet new people every day and some turn out to be a whole lot friendlier than others. As a result of this, I have made numerous allies and enemies throughout the years. One example is that in second grade I was transferred to another class along with two other girls. Those two girls ended up being my best friends for six years.…

    Some people do not know that they are even someone’s hero. When a person has the power to stand strong and fight for what they believe in they too can be a hero. These are the type of people that give others hope and save lives each and every day. You do not have to have super powers to save someone, you do not have to be in a position or a career where the main goal is to save someone’s life such as a doctor, a policeman or a firefighter.
