MY HERO

There are heroes everywhere who every day do things that are heroic. Fireman, Policeman, Doctors save people’s lives. There are also those who do work that should also be seen as heroic, teachers, mothers, and fathers. A hero to me is someone you admire that helps you go through things. I believe Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. In conclusion my heroes are the people who serve to protect and volunteer at their own will.

When we need help, we always are able to turn to those who give help because it is their job. Fireman and Policemen give up their lives to serve and protect those in need of saving. Policemen make a small salary to have a life threatening job, while Firemen make more than Policeman and are less likely to die than a Policeman. The amount of abuse that Policemen, Fireman, and doctors take from people is very interesting to me. I find it interesting because people blame Doctors when they can’t save the lives of those dear to them and make a big case of it, which I understand because one of my family members has done that before. Policemen get blamed for things that happen to families and for handling things that don’t go the way the public expected and so do Fireman, when they can’t save someone from a burning building. The heroes I look up to can’t save everyone, but they do their best to - to save one life at a time.

I never really had a Doctor, Firemen, or a Policeman to really help me in bad situations, but if that ever was to happen to me, I know my favourite heroes are always willing to help a person like me in need. To me a hero steps up to a challenge in willing to take risk and possibly give their lives to help those in need of saving.
