They're Not Just Someone

Over the years, the world’s notion of a hero has changed drastically. Early on, in the world, a hero was viewed as someone who brought food for their family. A hero was someone who was a provider. Later on, however, a hero became someone who did good for all of mankind. That’s when Superman and the other superheroes came in. Yes, they had super powers, but they are the ones whom people based their view of heroes on. As the world became more evolved so did the theories, a hero became more than someone who was a good provider and helped people. A hero became someone who put their life on the line to save the lives of innocent people. Fire fighters, police officers of any branch, are just few. They are also our modern-day heroes.

Men and women who fight to make sure we have freedom of speech, to make sure we get every possible chance there is to make our lives worth living. So, my modern-day heroes for me are my parents. It’s because, since the day I was not born yet, they are the ones taking care of me until now. They work for me, too. They are the ones who are giving all the things I need in order to live. They send me to school to let me study hard and have a good future someday. They let me eat nutritious foods. And most of all, they can sacrifice for my own sake. That’s why I call them as my modern-day heroes.

The view of a hero may, and it probably will change many times. But we will not, and should not forget the heroes of our past. Heroes are the ones that have lost the fight, or are still fighting, but most importantly, the ones that do not call themselves heroes and are just glad that they could help protect the innocent people. Let us not forget the heroes of our past, the present , and let us embrace the heroes of our future.
