A hero is defined different by each person. For me, a hero is someone who encourages you when you lose confidence and hope, a hero is someone who is not only there for you when you need them through the bad times but is there to celebrate the good times. Someone who will sacrifice their time to talk to you when you need them and someone who will come see you with one phone call. A hero is someone who tells you when you are doing something wrong and screams when you do, do something wrong. A hero is someone who makes you understand and takes you through the right path. A hero is someone you keep close to your heart. A hero doesn’t have to be one person and for me my heroes are my family and my best friends.

My family has been there for me since I was born, matter fact even before I was born. They have been there each step to guide me to become successful. They get upset sometimes when I do the wrong things, but I know they only get mad because they don’t want me taking the wrong path and make mistakes that they might have made. They are also there when I need anything, whether its to buy something for me, to talk about an issue, or just to laugh together.

My four best friends, they have been my shoulder to lean on and showed me how important it is to have friends around. They have been there to encourage me to study harder when I fail a test. Reminding me everything will be alright and telling me how much of a great person I am when I am upset about anything possible. Having them in my life, makes me feel like I can get through anything and talking to them puts a smile on my face, no matter how disastrous the situation gets.

This is my meaning of a hero and this is why i consider my family and friends as my heroes.
