Lately, I’ve been wondering, what does it mean to be a hero? We may all have different definitions of what a hero means, but I have made an attempt to give my definition. What is a hero to you? Your comments are welcome.

A hero can be defined as an individual who faces adversity by accepting challenges that most would avoid, with a triumphant ability to help others. Becoming selfless and sacrifice what you have to aid others. No matter the feat of the obstacle, a persevering soul will not succumb to life’s many mountains but finds ways to succeed. A hero shuns the spotlight as a humble demeanor speaks louder than any flash photography or accolades from media representatives. This hero is one where strength is achieved by being in the background and let others speak on his behalf because he was able to help in ways no one else could. It is important to understand that a hero isn’t always victorious but is glorified through righteous acts of humanity. No matter the odds, no matter the level of difficulty, a hero will make the ultimate sacrifice to pave the way for others. A hero also has the ability to turn a negative into a positive by turning unfavorable situations to work to his advantage. Furthermore, a hero is willing to lay down his life for noteworthy causes. Content of character, selfless acts of kindness, and a humble spirit exemplify a hero.
