Mother Teresa, better known as a caring risk taker, inspires the world. Mother Teresa is a women who grew up in a small village with big dreams and a generous heart. She first became a nun at the age of 17. First, she was a school teacher, but then realized her true calling was to help the less fortunate in the slums. Mother Teresa started her own religious order called the Missionaries of Charity. She was also awarded many awards including the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. Mother Teresa then passed away peacefully on September 5, 1997. After her passing she was then recognized as a saint.

This I Believe Hero Do you know anyone in your life that you would consider to be a hero? The most astonishing altruistic lady name Joan is whom I have met. Who inspires me of this motto that we all should think about others and not just about ourselves as we are all in this together. To me she is my definition of a hero. In fact, my definition of a hero is a person who has humility to admire their outstanding achievements and qualities. For instance, I perceive a hero being a leader and a…

My most recent project came out of tragedy: the Umpqua Community College shooting in Oregon. My students had just finished a comprehensive study of the Trojan War and Homer's The Iliad and were preparing to write a critique in which they would prove that a character was a true epic hero using epic hero criteria as a basis. When I read about Chris Mintz (the Army veteran who acted heroically to save others and was shot seven times), I contacted him on Facebook and asked if I could have my…

He's A Hero, but Then Again, He's Just My Dad My Superman is not as strong, but just as caring, he's my dad. Unlike other heroes my dad teaches me and helps me get better. What makes my dad a hero is that he is protective, humorous, and challenges me. My dad has been protective of just not me but of my sister and my mom. He has gone out of his was to make sure we are safe. One example of this was my sophomore year. My parents took me down to Virginia to go to my boyfriend's senior prom. While…

something, or somewhere. For instance, one hero that is making a significant impact in my life is my all-time amazing mother. As a hero, my mother possesses traits of a hard-worker, problem-solver, and a humble view of life. First and foremost, my mother is, appreciatively, an extremely hard-worker. As a single mother who takes care of her two children who do not deserve her, she works ten times harder than typical parents. Even if she is sick with a horrible cold or flu, and despite our…

If I were offered the role of either the villain or the hero in a movie, I would pick the hero. A hero must convey the following traits, focus, responsibility, determination, and courage. I have chosen these traits, because I feel they are most prominent in my life. As a hero, you have to be focused on the task in front of you. This focus is instilled in students who participate in marching band, like me. Marching band is a test of focus. Once you step foot onto the field for a performance, you…

Reeves once said,“A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” We all have a different definition of a “hero”, yet there are so many variations. Usually, our mind darts to “superheroes” like Wonder Woman and Iron Man, but true heroes are significantly more. They don’t wear capes or armor, but are uniquely draped in compassion and tenderness. My hero- my mother - has the armor of the Bible bound around her body and rises…

classes were an easy A+ and so I never took writing that seriously. As a writer I have my strengths and weaknesses, but I do not feel as confident in my strengths as I do my weaknesses. I think I am good with grammar and mechanics, but when it comes to time management or organization then forget it. I usually struggled with writing projects in high school, mostly due to my lack of interest and my great ability to avoid writing assignments until the very last minute. My college experience so…
