The Hero Within

In different areas where people live around the world, they interact with a lot in life. They also encounter many changes. Some say that a Hero is someone who saves the day from evil and hell. Others say that it’s also someone who does what’s best. While people see what’s known as a hero, others come into mind asking about the hero how to can be around others.

It showed that he wanted change for himself and he wanted changes from others later on. He was heroic because after he changed his ways he then helped others read and learn more knowledge so then they could excel and take the lead.
