Journal Entry 3

I do not particularly have someone in my mind that would be considered a hero to me. I think the definition of a hero is someone that has done something life-saving, or life-changing for a person. I also think that people overuse the term to describe people they admire. For instance, I see a lot and hear a lot of people say that they have heroes, like sports figures, famous personalities. You may look up to them, but just because you admire them, it does not mean they are a hero to you. It may be a personal thing that I don't understand. But when I see another person call Michael Jordan his or her hero, I just brush it off. I guess the closest thing to a hero I would have would be my parents. My dad is a police officer in Oklahoma City, he has saved people on April 19th, and many other times. He would be someone that I look up to. My mom would be up there too, only because she has put up with 2 boys for well over 17 years and is still alive.
