There's a Hero in All of Us

When we think of the term "hero", many of us would imagine a prestigious warrior that has a unique ability or power that allows them to help those in need. This heroic individual would then be described as an outgoing and charismatic person that is very prominent in society. Romero Dallaire and Dr. Bill Winegard, however, demonstrated to us a new understanding of "heroism."  These men did not possess any type of power or special ability that is peculiar to our society, instead, they were just normal people like us. What distinguishes them as a hero, is their passion to change the world. Even though they were not young, strong, or  perfectly healthy, these factors did not stop them from accomplishing their goals. They showed us that heroism is defined from a passion within, and not from an external ability or power. Passion is what drives determination and hard work, and if we can all find the passion to make the world a better place, we can potentially save the world from its many downfalls. We have the potential to do great things, but we first need to realize where our passion lays, because that's where  we can find our source of motivation that will inspire us to persist towards greatness.
