Hero. A word that is sometimes used without thinking. What does it really mean? Who qualifies as a hero? Is a hero born or made? Our classes began talking about heroes on day one and now our first FORMAL essay is due on Tuesday. What is YOUR definition of a hero? I believe each one of you has thought about the word in a new way thanks to our tour of heroes. We studied historical heroes, everyday heroes, disney and comic book heroes, global heroes and close-to-home heroes. We debated about Lance Armstrong's rise and fall and followed Carl (UP!) through the hero's journey. We read stories, articles, and poems about heroes. Our list of heroic traits got longer and longer. The Superman cape came off.

Now that we are discussing the topic of heroes I believe that it can have a huge role on all of us. Whether we do some thing big or small it can still impact many people. In class I thought those were some great selections of stories that contain information on a hero. I also think the embedded assessment will build up on our knowledge of a hero and compare it to what our parents said about heroism on Parent Night. We too can be a hero like the movie we watched today, Bully. If we see a kid getting bullied we too can help them and make an impact on our society. So you don't have to be famous to be a hero. Start small. End Big.

A hero to me is someone who does something impactful that puts him/herself before another without meaning to, just because that is who they are. "A hero is a man that does what he can" - Romain Rolland.

A hero is someone or something(could be an animal) that kind,caring, and helpful. Anybody could qualify as a hero, worldwide. A hero is made as he or she grows and possess leadership and hero-like qualities.
