What is a hero? A hero to me, can be any person in your life that you look up to, or want to be like. Someone who does stuff great for others. A person that is there for you when you need them. Overall, a hero is just a good person.

Should everyone have a hero? I can't answer this question very well. To some people it is important to have a hero in their life, they want someone to look up to, or be like when they grow up. To some others, it doesn't really matter to them whether they have a hero or not, because they might want to just go through life not modeling anyone.

Who is my hero? My hero is my dad. My dad fits the definition of a hero perfectly. He is a great role model for me to follow. He is a good person, and he does great things for people. Whenever I need my dad, he is there for me. My dad is my hero for these reasons.

My dad should be inducted into the hero hall of fame. When my dad was 14, his mom died of cancer. When this happened, he learned to enjoy the time with people he loves, because they could be gone in an instant. This is a factor of how he acts today. My dad protects me and my family. He tries to do what the city wants, by voting for citizens on city council. He also helps at charities almost every weekend. He tries to do the best for people. If this doesn't fit the hero hall of fame. I don't know what does.
