Everyday Hero Essay

When I conceptualize of the word hero, I think of the countless Spiderman figures lying at the bottom of my brothers toy chest, or even Prince capture rescuing Sleeping Beauty from her seemingly endless slumber. However, what usually does not come to mind, are the h adept and only(a)st concrete life heroes that I believe posses higher superpowers than the Incredibles ever could. Though they do not have the mightiness to fly or read minds, one way or another, these people have helped someone in a tough situation. A true hero can be anyone from the firefighters at the station to your senior(a) sister living in the room next door. They may have helped to save your life, or entirely helped you get through your math homework last night. Whatever the case, one quality that all true heroes must possess is the ability to be an example of good leave alone in the world. A hero will help someone because they want to, not because they have to. Though they are not perfect, no one is, a he ro will continue to put others first when they know that it is almost important to do so.Three years ago, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. The news came as an utter shock to everyone, considering the fact that she was one of the healthiest and most active members of my family. She played tennis and practiced yoga at least four times a week always ate healthy and organic foods, and on top of all this, there was still any history of breast cancer on our family tree Though her case was not as bad as others, it still required her to undergo weeks of arduous chemotherapy and radiation. Through her darker days, she herself would be the one to soothe me down and reassure me that everything would be okay. The night before my mothers surgery, I started to cry, scared and discomfited with what was happening around me.Though she was also frightened and anxious, my mother was the one to comfort me and explain that a plastic surgeon did not actually turn people into plastic, as I had imagined. Even during her most bleak and miserable moments, she put everything aside and reached out to help me deal with her pain. For this, she is my hero. No, she is not Superwoman, or a firefighter,or even your everyday do-gooder but shes my mom, and that is good enough for me. This just goes to picture that a seemingly ordinary woman can be a hero to someone in her own way. Heroes are everyday characters, and if you look hard enough you will find the hero in your own life. This I believe.
