What is the first thing that pops in your head when you hear the word, “Hero?” Do you imagine a buff man wearing tights? Do you imagine a superhero saving kittens from trees? The concept of heroism isn’t only in comic books and stories. In our society, there are heros everywhere. They don’t wear tights, they don’t have superpowers, they aren’t buff.

A hero to me, is someone who helped when no one else would. If you look closely at society, you see the thieves, the abusers, and those who reach out for help but grasp only air. Look at what ‘heroes’ do, they save cities and, on occasion, the world; look at the people who stand up and help those who need…
