hero can be someone who gave up his or her life so another could live. A hero can be anyone; they can be the girl next door or the strange man across the street.

“Yeah‚ it’s like they say. Heroes aren’t born‚ they’re made!” Influential in its simplicity‚ this quote from the Dreamworks movie Megamind‚ supposes a truth that has implications for real people. That simple truth is‚ “Are people born to do great things and to change events around them‚ or do the events in a person’s life propel them to interfere in historical events?” This simple‚ yet insightful question can reveal that people are indeed made by the actions of others.
