There are heroes every day in this world. A hero can be anything from jumping in front of a truck to save a little girl or changing the world’s perspective on how to go through rough times. A hero to me is anyone who can put a smile on a strangers face and someone who has all of my respect for doing this is Ellen Degeneres. Yes, she is famous and has lots of nice things but the part of her I like the best about her is her selflessness for humanity. Ellen has exercised the term “Pay it forward” a daily task. A few examples of heroism include her recent assistance to a new library for the homeless kids in Las Vegas, giving a less fortunate family a roof to live under, making a cancer patient’s wish come true …show more content…
One of Ellen 's most recent contributions is the amazing new library at Whitney
Elementary in Las Vegas. Ellen’s show “made a $100,000 donation to a school of 610 poor and homeless children as part of a library makeover program sponsored by Target and the Heart of America Foundation (“Wingert”).The kids were excited to receive a makeover at their library including apple computers, ipads and 2,000 new books. Ellen’s heroism supports many foundations in many various ways including a recent contribution to the make wish come true foundation.
Ellen will do just about anything just to inspire an individual. Ellen has put through a numerous of stories that show her random act of kindness. A good example is with Jodi
Fisher who was diagnosed with cancer and one of her dreams was to be a guest on
Ellen’s talk show. The second Ellen heard about Jodi’s dream, she knew she had to make

There are many hero’s in kind of humanity.
To me, Ellen is a hero who is full of selflessness which is very different of the hero
Korematsu who is more self centered. Ellen is a hero who is big and famous for her caring and love towards others. While Korematsu is the type of hero who fought for peoples right to a fair trial but acted initially based on his self interest Bai. Korematsu was heroic because he stood up for his beliefs. Even his own people did not support him. Both are wonderful role models for all of us. If it wasn 't for heroes like Ellen and Korematsu, noone would ever be able to conquer fear without denial (Bai 831833).
The first name that come to me is Ellen Degeneres when asked “What is a Hero?”
Her daily talk show is always featuring some random act of kindness. Ellen and Korematsu are two very completely different types heros in this world. But are very similar when it comes to putting their contributions towards society. In todays society there are many famous people that surprised us all in not being the positive role model we had thought.
Ellen is not one of them. Her daily show personifies her love and care for people. Her
