Hero vs. None

Heroes can exist anywhere; however, I don't believe that our society necessarily needs a hero in town. I also don't believe that the president, Obama, is a hero either. In my perspective, I think that hero should be able to help everyone and anyone in need. Yes, Obama can help the people, but can he help everyone? For example, people are dying, can he help them and cure their sickness? The biggest problem that I think our society is having are financial problems. But we can only hold so much power, as a consumer/producer, to make a difference.

I think that anyone can have their own hero. Everyone is different and thinks differently that they have their own qualities to what makes a hero. My mom is the greatest and biggest hero in my life. She conquers "the evil," and does anything she can to save me when I'm in deep trouble. Not only does she help me, but others as well. She helps my brother, my sister, her own sister, family friends, my friends, and perhaps even random strangers. My mom overwhelms me with all her accomplishments and intelligence. She's my supermom. And people can have different heroes, they really can. For example, the three ladies, in Aurora, Colorado, each have their own hero which are their boyfriends because they covered them as the gunman constantly shot his gun in the theater. The three men ended up dying because they sacrificed themselves for their girlfriends.

I don't think this society needs a hero because everyone has their own thought and perspective to what makes a hero. Anyone can be anyone's hero, whether it's from the simplest things, or saving your life, it's still possible to become a hero to anyone.

Education and its values

Education plays a big role in everyone's life. Without education, the country would be chaotic and disrespectful. Education is important because it gives us the ability to think for ourselves and decide the right choices for our future. I value education very much because I know that it will help me throughout life and if I work really hard, I can have a bright future and become successful. I strive to work hard because I know that it will make my mom proud. My mom is a single mom with financial issues who is still raising a family. She has the biggest heart in the world and all I want to do in the future is take care of my mom the way she did for me. When I grow older and start my life on my own, I want to study hard and get a good career so I can support myself and later on support my family.

Our generation is a very stubborn generation because now these days, we have malls, parks, technology and so many materialistic needs that we don't need and it becomes a distraction for teenagers. We begin to forget  the value of education and start to slack off in our work. At times, it isn't always media that distracts us, but perhaps the teachers do as well. Some teachers just don't teach the way students can comprehend. It's very difficult for us to be heard and send a message that we really do need help. In most cases, teachers do help and end up with students passing the class. 

In the end, I believe that education plays a giant role in every person's life. It could help the world and ourselves.
