Heroes are special people in our society because they represent a person’s unwavering dedication to helping others. From nation’s presidents to everyday citizens, heroes come in all shapes and sizes, but all have one thing in common: a strong desire to help and make a positive impact on society. Heroes take risks and accept great responsibility in order to make the world a better place. Whether they are volunteering in their own community, or traveling overseas to work with charities, heroes are motivated by a need to serve. They often place their own actions and desires on the back burner to pursue projects or goals that provide tangible benefit to others. In this way, heroes help to make the world a kinder, simpler and more enjoyable place to live. Ultimately, it is the small moments of heroism that make the world a better place, and that provide us with a shining example of what it means to be a good, caring person. Heroes inspire us to reach for the stars, encourage us to be kinder to our neighbor and lead by example with their thoughtful and spirited actions. By recognizing their selfless acts, and striving to emulate them in our everyday lives, we can learn to become increasingly heroic in our own ways.
