Characteristics of a HeroA hero is someone who does things for others while staying true to themselves. They're present every day as firefighters, doctors, volunteers, leaders and good Samaritans. Heroes can even be people who you don't know personally, but who inspire you and motivate you to help others. Nelson Mandela was a real hero- he gave hope to so many during his life, and will continue to inspire for years and years, even if he isn't still around.
