Heroes shape the world around us; people don’t become heroes randomly out of the blue one day, they are born and have to work at it every day. The key to becoming a hero is what you do when nobody's watching. It’s the subtle things that mean the most, whether that means comforting an elderly person who will never remember you, or even helping an exhausted mother in labor who never knew you were there. Many people aspire to be heroes, but never quite get there because they lack in drive and willpower. Nola Nadermann shows drive and willpower everyday of her life. With all the setbacks Nola has faced and her work as a nurse over the past 40 years; Nola Nadermann has shown over and over that she is as heroic as they come.

According to Nola she became a nurse because she wanted “to help people and to save people in some way or another” (Nadermann). This is heroic in itself, because she became a nurse for other people, not just for the pay, or the title. In the words of Nadermann, nursing “wasn’t easy but it was very rewarding.” (Nadermann). She was in this for the feeling she had after she finished work everyday, that’s the feeling she strived for.

Even though Nadermann became sick she didn’t give up, she persisted through and kept working towards helping more and more people. Bacteria and viruses aren’t the only risks that a nurse faces everyday. According to Health Hazards of Nursing, “Nurses often work in settings in which they are exposed to a wide array of physical hazards.” They also said that some of those include “noise, and ionizing and nonionizing radiation” (Med).
