    Who is a hero? In contemporary times, usage of the term has become somewhat of a cliché. Over the years, the term “hero” has become representative of a wide variety of individuals, each possessing differing traits. Some of the answers put forth by my colleagues (during our in-class discussion on heroism) as to whom they consider heroes pointed to celebrities, athletes, teachers and family members. Although the occupations differed, each of their heroes bore qualities that my classmates perceived as extraordinary, whether morally or physically. Nonetheless, Webster’s defines “hero” as “a person who is admired for great or brave acts or fine qualities.” Thus, it is worth considering that individuals become heroes relative to the situation with which they’re faced.

Simone had to be homeschooled in high school because she trained so much every day she would miss school a lot. On Monday and Wednesday she trains from 12:30 to 5:30, and on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Fridays she trains from 9:00 to 1:00. Whenever she falls down she comes right back up and never ever gives up. One of her best accomplishments was the 2016 Rio Olympics. Simone was so good in gymnastics, that she could have competed in the 2012 Olympics at a young age, however her coach said she would have to turn 16 to compete so she would have to wait for another four years to be in the Olympics. So she could not compete. Simone led her team , the final five ,to win the Olympics. Simone also has a special quote for the people who inspire her: “If you're having fun, that's when the best memories are built.” Simone’s signature move is a double flip with a half twist.

  • Simone Biles Decision To Take Away From The Olympics

    1849 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the face of adversity, staying strong in one’s beliefs and principles requires a certain type of courage, known as moral courage. This positive quality drives people to challenge existing norms and take a stand for what they believe to be right and just, even when there is a risk of disapproval from society. By looking at the concept of intelligent disobedience, Simone Biles’ decision to withdraw from the Olympics, and Rosa Parks’ widely known act of defiance, they both decided to continue with their decision because they believed it was the right thing to do despite the consequences they would face. Therefore, it can be argued that moral courage is demonstrated when anyone stands up for what is right, even when faced with potential ridicule,

    If, in six years time, I were to become a successful Hollywood screenwriter and was commissioned to write a screenplay about women in sports, I would have a hard time deciding what to write about. There are currently so many sports that women participate in that I cannot image what will be available in the future. Out of all the athletic activities in which women participate, I feel that gymnastics has been overlooked by Hollywood; therefore, I would most likely make a film based on that. I happen to be a fan of rhythmic gymnastics, and would like to see it gain more popularity in the United States.

    “A hero should be someone who unselfishly does something for someone else, regardless of danger.” Marylyn Schwartz wrote this in the Houston Chronicle on Monday, October 8, 2001. Do sports stars face much danger to make a touchdown, goal, homerun, etc.? Not really. They may face the danger of breaking bones or getting some pretty nasty bruises, but that’s about it. All too often these are the people that children look to as a heroic figure. Little boys think Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, and Barry Bonds are some of the greatest people ever born. Granted that they all performed an amazing feat, but that makes them no more qualified to obtain the status of heroic. Little girls are looking to Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, and Christina Alguilera as role models and sources of encouragement. They should be looking at the women who put their life on the line as police officers and peacekeepers.
