What's a Hero

What is a Hero Heroes come in many shapes and sizes but they usually have the same qualities. Some similar qualities that I think a hero has is that they are a good role model. They are also the person that will do the right thing and make the right call even in a tough situation. A hero is also someone who will make a sacrifice for the good of others.

A hero should also be very generous and they should also be the person that you look up to for advice in a tough situation.  A hero is someone to look to for answers on what is right and what is wrong.
