Do We Need A Hero?



I don’t think our society necessarily needs a hero; it needs more people with hero-like qualities. Although a hero would be great, it would just make more “villains” out of the people that don’t like him/her. I feel like a hero would cause more jealousy in society than happiness because the everyday people wouldn’t get the recognition they deserve. If someone did something amazing like risk his/her life to help a lady out of a burning building, would he get the credit for it? Or would the credit go to the hero that put out the fire after a life was saved? Not everybody would agree with the hero, causing more trouble or chaos.

You don’t have to be a superhero to be considered a hero. The everyday normal person could very well be a hero. People who are brave and risk their life or safety to help others are also heroes. It takes a lot of courage to go out of your comfort zone and put yourself in danger to save someone else. Some qualities that could make you a potential hero are bravery, courage, attentiveness, standing up for what you believe in, going out of your way to help others and many more.

Education

I think education in America is important. Education determines your ability and knowledge to perform certain jobs that you're qualified for. Everyone needs education, whether they think they do or not. It'll help you better understand the world and get you further in life. Without it, nobody would know what or how to do anything. If kids weren’t in school, the crime rates would rapidly increase. School and education are important on many different levels.

Education is very valuable in my life. I want to graduate high school and go to college to study to be an Ultrasound Technician. Although it would take an additional 5 years of school, I want to be more educated and put my knowledge to use. I need education to get where I want to go. Education will help you achieve a more successful and happier life.
