Hero

"A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles." - Christopher Reeve ("Superman") 

 What Christopher Reeve is trying to say is a hero isn't born a hero. A hero is just an ordinary person that can spot something wrong and have the courage to do something about it even if it puts them in danger.
I agree with Christopher because to be a hero you don't need to be high in society. Soldiers are the countries idea of a hero, and the men and women that join the army don't come from a high social life where everyone knows who they are around the world. They come from across the United States and decide that they want to defend the Country no matter what the consequences are.
My personal hero is my youth leader because she went through a big struggle with cancer. She was just a regular person and then one day everything changed when she found out she had cancer. She found the strength to keep persevering and to fight the cancer and she won. She was just a normal person who was faced with a huge obstacle and decided to fight for her life with all her strength. She knew that it would be hard, but she kept on fighting. She is my definition of a hero she didn't have super powers, she didn't have to save someones life, but she did fight cancer and won.
