Heroes Come In All Shapes And Size

Hero’s come in all shapes and sizes. They can be fictional or nonfictional. Maybe a hero is a child or

possibly an ordinary person. People can also have multiple heroes. Whenever I think of my current hero

Erin comes to mind. Her first year teaching and she has to deal with bad kids, but, changes their minds

about school. She also gets them involved with school and care about school. Last she gets the students

to open up about their problems and some hard times they have dealt with. Sometimes in life a hero can

commit minimal acts of kindness. It is Erin’s first year teaching and she gets the class that nobody wants

to teach. They are bad kids that don’t listen. She gets them to really understand how important school is.

She has them coming to school and actually

wanting to learn. In some situations she doesn’t know what
do to do because she doesn’t have any experience. For example on the first day of school, she didn’t
know what to do when the students started fighting in her class.

After she learns more about the students,

she comes up with more ideas to help the students. Also, she gets them involved in school with the story

of Anne Frank. They raise money for the lady who housed Anne Frank during the war. They raised money

for her to come from Europe just to talk to them. The administrator told her that eventually some kids

would just stop coming to school and to not worry because it always happened. She believed that she

could make school interesting enough to make them want to come back to school, and she did. She

taught them that there was more to life than being in a gang. That when you die nobody in that gang will

remember you forever, but get your education and do something with your life that makes people want

to remember. Most teenagers don’t open up to many people because they don’t know who they can

trust. She got the students to open up about their past. She had them play a game called the line game to

learn more about them. They talked about friends they had that were killed and stories. She told them

that their life had a greater purpose than being in a gang. Some students shared about hard family

lives
and difficult times. Since hero’s come in all shapes and sizes and can be fictional or nonfictional I chose
Erin as my hero. She went through hard times and difficult situations. She was a stronger person than the
challenges that she faced and overcame them. A hero can commit minimal acts of kindness sometimes.
