HERO ASSIGNMENT
What is a hero? Some people think a hero is a person that helps others in some way.  You don't have to have a hero type job like being Superman or a police officer.  Heroes are not always people who are strong and well known.  You don't have to wear a fancy suit or fight a super villain or stop a meteor.  Heroes are people that do something to help a person or community.  Most heroes have strong minds and are committed to what they are doing.  Heroes may play a big role in being a hero or the may play a smaller role. It doesn't matter if you do something big or small.  It just matters that you did it!  Sometimes you can be a hero just by helping someone carry their books to the library or helping a person with a math problem.  You're a hero to them.

Heroes come in many different sizes, have various ethnic backgrounds, and are different ages.  In fact, anyone can be a hero - even you!
