Modern Hero

Who is Worthy to be Called a Hero?   

 The question remains: Who is worthy to be called a hero?  The heroics of today are mistakenly seen in the eyes of the people as, mutant super beings in capes and masks as portrayed in Hollywood, as opposed to what being a hero really means. Throughout history,  many people have stepped up to the challenges of leading a nation to independence, guiding a nation through turmoil, rising to the occasion to defend his or her sacred beliefs, or by simply putting their lives on the line every day to protect and secure the safety of others. These individuals, by their bravery and determination, have set their mark in their society and the people’s hearts around them as well. Despite the bravery these individuals face, there are other types of heroes as well. Heroes can be in anyway, even in each of individuals in the world. I have the persons who I think is the best hero in my mind. They are my parents.

  Every time I look at my parents or even think of them, pride overwhelms me. My life and world is all thanks to them. I especially admire their determination during the despondent whiles. Without them, I am nothing in this world. Ones, they grieve all the complications intended by having offsprings and yet, they go on and accept the God’s blessing for them. One thing more, parents never leave us behind for they always think of what’s best for their children. With that simple exertions, they are accurate to be called “HERO”.

Heroes always change in our mind as we grow. As a child, we think Hercules, Xena, superheroes, imaginary friends, comics', and cartoons' heroes as the real heroes. As we grow older, our opinions keep changing from time to time. We begin to think about the real things, about what heroes really are. And that’s made me thought that my parents are indeed my great hero.
