“I think a hero is any person really intent on making this a better place for all people”
Maya Angelou
Do many people wonder what it truly takes to become a hero, sacrifice, or success? If a person doesn’t sacrifice anything for their loved ones how does that make them a hero? And that’s why sacrifice is the main trait of a hero. A sacrifice is an act of giving up something valued for the sake of others' considerations. As we see in the movies you can be the person that saves people's lives with superpowers, Yes, but a hero can do so many other things besides that. Heroes come in different shapes and sizes. What do you think it takes to become a hero? Sacrifice is a trait that makes you a true hero by its many different outcomes: A small act of bravery can be enough, standing by your values, and maybe even affecting someone's life and helping them overcome their obstacles by giving up something you value in order to help someone else.
As has been mentioned before, being a hero doesn't mean having superpowers like flying or so. It comes from sacrifice. A small act of bravery can be enough, standing by your values, and maybe even affecting someone's life and helping them overcome their obstacles by giving up something you value in order to help someone else. William Ayotte is a real-life hero. In the year 2013, he battled a polar bear that was savagely attacking a lady in Manitoba, Canada. ''Thank you will never be enough. He gave me life. It’s the most remarkable thing a person can do — risk his life for another human being, a stranger!' said the victim of the incident, Erin Greene. William Ayotte really sacrificed his own life by battling a bear to save a woman's life, a stranger! That made him a true hero. Another true hero we should not forget is James “Bud” Garvey. In November 2016, Garvey, 76 years of age at the time, rescued a man from a fiery wreck near Imler, Pa. ' When Bud got to the car, I knew he wasn’t going to stop until he got this man to safety. He did it almost automatically. I’m so proud of him.', said buds wife. He could have died saving the man but risked his life for him, now that's a hero. From experience, my mom was a hero to me, she would always be by my side at my lowest points in life and be there for me when I needed it most, and she would leave everything behind for me. Now you might say, sacrificing your life for someone else is wrong, but wait there. These women and men might have family and kids back home to take care of, and also living with the guilt of you having the chance to do something at the moment and never doing it will haunt you forever, so you do it for the sake of your loved ones. Missing the chances you have that could make you feel good forever and making your loved ones happy is not the best thing to do, take risks that's what life's about.
Now think, what does it take to become a hero? Sacrifice is a treat that makes you a true hero by its many different outcomes: A small act of bravery can be enough, standing by your values, and maybe even affecting someone's life and helping them overcome their obstacles by giving up something you value in order to help someone else and seeing them smile and be grateful. In my opinion, sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice is the key to being a true hero, it's what makes you stand out from others, take risks, and be a hero when others can't. Go by your values and not by the crowd, make someone's day better, just a sentence you say can make someone's day.
