..."A hero is a man who does what he can" - Romain Rolland Have you wondered what a true hero is like? When people say hero, they usually think of cartoon characters like Superman, Spiderman, or Wonder woman. A hero can wear anything and they can be as simple as we are. Everyone can be a hero, not necessarily save lives but we can be heroes on our own way. But did you know that heroes are hard to find? I found my hero and she is a teacher. A hero is someone who cares for my well-being. In life, people may come in go, some will be remembered and some are forgotten. One thing is for sure, I’ll never the person who is known to me as my second parent. My teacher my hero is Ma’am Evelyn B. Plaza, my Second year High School teacher.

...“My Teacher, My Hero” "No one saves us but we ourselves-no one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path, teachers merely show the way." Gone were the days when we spent our late nights indulging in comic books featuring our generation’s greatest heroes, sneaking past our bedtime to read Superman’s latest issue under the sheets while holding a flashlight, running around the house with our fists in the air and a cape zooming through our backs. Nowadays, all we have our noses stuck on are the not-so-thrilling sagas of Captain Algebra on Planet Geometry, Fantastic Physics and Heinous History, much to our dismay. I never looked forward to closing in on my childhood and waking up to Algebra class in my first year of high school, nor did I find excitement in the then 25-year old Mr. Ongleo who came to class everyday to blab about my least-liked subject ever. He was a new teacher at the Caloocan City Science High School, and being a former disciplinarian in my best friend’s school at St. Mary’s Academy, he daily greeted us with Spartan orders. “Stand straight! Chin up! Hands on the side!” When the door opens to give way for him we had to be in this position already—mouths zipped and bodies stiff as a board. On some accounts he’d add “Be proud of yourself.”, and that would somehow make the corners of our lips slightly curl upward. He’d then check our room’s sanitation, and make remarks concerning it. He hated noise and dirt, and was highly irritated by even tiny pieces of...

...When we were young, we all had some kind of hero. Some of the heroes as a kid consisted of ones like Batman, Robin Hood, Hulk, and Superman. All of these characters did heroic actions that made kids love them, or even idolize them, but as we grow older heroes change. Growing up, I never thought about who my hero was until I was in high school and realized that she had always been right beside me. My hero is Shannon Clover; my elementary enemy, middle school best friend, and life-time hero. Shannon is my hero because she is able to overcome tremendous obstacles, go after her dreams, and is hard working. Overcoming obstacles is something that everyone will have in their life, but the way you overcome it can be something amazing. When Shannon...

...A hero to me is one of not the most startling qualities, but one of qualities that can be a person or their surroundings better. Most people look up to those of the most mesmerizing or eye grasping backgrounds. But, are those people really making change. See, my whole idea of me truly looking up to someone to call them my Hero is for them to show me that wholeheartedly desire to be that person, to be the change they want to see in the world, to be that difference maker. Although in some ways Hero must come from the noble background or birth and have a epic story to tell. The simplistic definition of a hero is one of noble qualities, and that is all I take from a Hero. To be a Hero you must take from what you have not done, not what you have come from. What you do in the moment as a good person will...

...My Hero is my old nabor Paul. He would fight no matter what, and he will stand up for what's right. Paul is my hero because he fought in the vietnam war, he didn’t get injured but i’m pretty sure it made him a little crazy in the head. He is very goofy just like me. That’s why we get along so well, we are just a like. I call him Paul the biker dude and he calls me his blonde haired brat. In the summer before 7th grade I had a car wash for cheer. I didn’t really know my cheer team that well cause it was our first year cheering for the school. But Paul showed up on his Harley and said, “ Girls I want this bike Squeaky clean “ The other girls were so scared of him so we worked on that bike for at least 30 minutes when we were done he gave us...

...selfless. Every person has their own hero. However heroes are meaningful in different ways. For example, some may say Superman is a hero. He always seems to swoop in at the right moment and save the day. Others believe pizza delivery guys are heroes. They drive to you so you don’t have to get up and get your pizza yourself. Whoever your hero is, they are your hero because they mean something to you, even though they may mean nothing to someone else. To me, my hero doesn’t have super-human strength, or hypersonic speed. My hero is someone quite ordinary, someone you might see on an everyday basis. She may seem like an average working person, but she is so much more to me. It’s in the little things she does like getting up everyday to go to work even though she knows she has to fight the same make-up-battle with the same three girls, knowing she has to face those horrible seventh grade boys, knowing she has to deal with the kids who give her absolutely no respect, knowing she has to put up with pesky eighth grade know-it-alls, and yes, even me....

...Hero's don’t have to swoop in with red capes and save the day. A hero can be an ordinary person. They can be a person helping out in the community, doing their job or a person doing a random act of kindness, like a student helping a new student in school. A hero is someone you can look up to or be like, they are determined, caring and brave. First a hero is determined. Determined is making a decision and seeing it through. Zig Ziglar said, “I believe success is achieved by ordinary people with extraordinary determination.” An example of that is Sully. Sully crash landed a plane in the hudson river because of birds and saved one hundred and fifty five people. Without determination he could have not done his job and could of not saved all of those people. Being determined is not giving up. Sully did not give up, even though he knew they were going to crash he just landed the plane in a place better for everybody on board....

...A hero is someone who you can look up to and rely on them in times of need. My hero is my grandmother, Priscilla Nauman, who was very important and inspiring to me and many other people throughout her lifetime. She was loved by many people, from close relatives to strangers she would meet at the store, a restaurant, or around the neighborhood. She was also a very determined person who would do anything she put her mind to. Everyone loved her and she loved everyone. If I had to describe her in three words, it they would be generous, strong, and vivacious. Generosity is the act of showing a gracious act toward others. My grandmother showed this trait by being generous to everyone around her. She would help less fortunate girls get into college by grading their scholarship essays before they gave them to colleges. She would do this just so that the girls could get into the colleges...
