My Wonder Woman
Do heroes really exist? Kids strongly believe so. They think that Batman, Hulk, Flash or Wonder Woman are real people; furthermore, children want to become like them and save the world from the evil character just like in the comics. Besides, infants want to have superpowers and wear as their heroes; they like to perform maneuvers and feel like a character. However, when kids grow up, they realize that their favorite role model never existed. Nevertheless, I can say that my super heroine really exists; she does not have super powers, nor can she save the world. My Wonder Woman goes beyond that a simple comic; she is my mother. She is the person who became my hero because she is hard working, supporting and understanding and trust worthy.
My mom is a single mother; for that reason, she has two jobs, and that makes her a hard working person. My Wonder Woman starts her day at 5:00 clock in the morning; after waking up, she prepares breakfast and lunch for the family. Then she goes to her first job as a housewife in San Jose. My mother has to do the dishes, iron the clothes, and clean the whole house with the same love and dedication as she does in her house. My mom comes back at home around noon, and she has lunch. After that, she goes to rest for an hour. Later on, she has to go to her second job in Boston Scientific, as an operator worker. She works from 3:30p.m. to 10:00p.m; sometimes, my Wonder Woman has to work extra time from 10:00p.m to 3:30a.m. Even though my mother is very sick, I have never heard her complaining about her illness, and she continues working hard in her jobs without giving up.
My Wonder Woman is also supporting and understanding. She keeps telling me not to give up no matter how complicated and difficult objectives are. For example, when I get a low in grade in exams, she always kindly talks to me and expects me to do it better the next time. Furthermore, my Wonder Woman guides me when I do not know what to do in any problem, and she

    Heroes are born everyday. But not all of them have to be able to fly around the world or stop a bullet with their teeth. They don't have to be like superman and wonder woman. There are many hereos in the world, you just have to know where to look for them. They are just ordinary people a lot of the time. Many of them can be parents and grandparents. It all depends on what the person does to be considered a hero, such as a grandparent that would walk about 50 miles to get medicine for their sick grandson. That is what Phoenix Jackson did for her grandson in the short story, "A Worn Path".…

    Heroes are everywhere; they live the same neighborhood as us, and eat the same cereal as we do. We just sometimes too blunt to realize it. Their heroic actions might be small-like sticking up for a bullied kid and other time they can be great like saving people lives like Spider Man.…

    There are many definitions of the word ‘hero’ but Dictionary.com defines a hero as a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities, a person who, in the opinion of others, has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal, the principal male character in a story, play, film, etc. While growing up, I can remember many instances where we were asked to write about and describe who we felt our ‘hero’ was. The common and cliche answer amongst many people is “my mom.” Under the dictionary definition I don’t know that all of my classmates moms, including my own, are heroes.…

    Have you ever wondered what qualifies people to be a hero? Probably not, because you say to yourself; they have to be strong, and brave, and important. But do they? Is the eight-year-old little girl who picks up the bag of groceries when her mom drops them and can’t pick them up a hero?

    “It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no its Superman!” For decades comic book characters such as Superman, The Incredible Hulk, Batman, and Wonder Woman have captured the imaginations of American children and adults alike. “Superheroes,” they have been coined. But these figures only exist in our imaginations. Batman is not really there to save us from villains such as the Joker and the Riddler. Because these heroes are fictional, we are left without real life heroes… or are we? The answer is clearly no. Heroes are all around us. They can be courageous, intelligent, strong or daring, but heroes to me are selfless and brave.…

    One kind of hero that exists all over the world is the everyday hero. The person that I consider my everyday hero is my mother. The qualities that make her my hero are her way of doing things, and also how she sacrifices herself for me. For example, she is responsible and shows her stronger side in front of us when we are facing difficult times. Also she is so lovely that almost everyone likes her when they meet her. She always says to me that her duties are to look after me but at the same time to give me the freedom to make mistakes and find bright sides of my mistakes. The way that she influences me is that I see that sometimes she leaves what she is doing for her to take care of me. Even though many people argue that heroes are not real, I will disagree with them because I believe that everybody has a hero who protects them and looks after them.…

    Our perception of heroes, for most people, comes from comic books and movies. Generally they have super powers, including incredible strength or flying. Now heroes are firefighters, policemen, or people in the military. They risk their lives to protect us and our country. Also, our heroes can be professional athletes who we look up to as role models. Heroes are just normal people who “… don’t look like they used to.”…

    People think of the word Hero and they automatically think of “Superman” or any other individual being with superhuman attributes. But the truth is that all these traits a hero has, like bravery, strength, compassion and the ability to know right from wrong, can all be seen in your average everyday citizen. We hold these incredibly high standards of what a hero should be when the actual real heroes are in front of us every day without us even acknowledging them. We shouldn’t take the actual heroes we have come to know for granted because one day when we find ourselves in a time of crisis it won’t be Superman who will come and save us.…
