When you hear the word hero you might think of Hercules, strong, golden tan, magical, unlike any normal person. A hero is someone who saves the incredibly gorgeous princess from the terrible tower just in the nick of time, but it doesn't always have to be like that. To me a hero is someone who goes out of their way to improve the wellbeing of the people around them.
For example, little Suzie gets her kite stuck in a tree and is just too short to reach it. You realize that you are tall enough to get it though. Unfortunately, you are at you great grandma Betty’s birthday. You walk over and help poor little Suzie anyways. YAY!

When I interviewed her she recalled at least 20 out of the 27 names that were in our class that year. I'm not going to name names, but just know that she says hi.

That one time she burst into song or that one time we did a court hearing for the claimed copyright of a made up board game. Anyways, she didn't have to do all of that. That's why she fits my definition. She did not have to remember all the minor details. She could have just gotten us through the year. She could have JUST done her job, but she decided to do more. She became our friends. She does so much for her students. That's why she is one of my favorite
