Heroes may seem old-fashioned today. Many people are cynical and seem to enjoy discrediting role models more than creating new ones or cherishing those they already have. Some people, moreover, object to the very idea of heroes, arguing that we should not exalt individuals who, after all, are only flesh and blood, just like the rest of us. But we desperately need heroes—to teach us, to captivate us through their words and deeds, to inspire us to greatness.

Heroes are the people you look up to, the people that did something you admire or that you might want to do or accomplish yourself. Your hero, is someone you want to be like, that you respect . Your hero could be anyone, parents, friends or pears but that still affected your life, your way of thinking, your point of view about something one way or the other.
A hero is just flesh and blood like all of us but they still have that one thing that you don't have and that your trying to get by following their footsteps.
Everyone has a hero whether it's a professional dancer because you love dancing, a football player because football is your passion, or an NBA basketball player because playing basketball is what you like.
Heroes play a major part in this world and are very important. You might be a looser to someone but to someone else you mean the world and might not even know it.
Personally my parents are my heroes because to me they achieved so much in their lives, and they are the most successful. And that's exactly how i want to be when i grow up, successful in life, a doctor with a loving family and kids that look up, admire and are proud of me.
