For some reason I can't make the embedded document larger but here it is bigger.
Hero? Many of other students who are our age think they
are a hero but don’t know what it means to be a hero. A hero is the person who puts aside their own
needs and helps to give to others what they need. A hero is one who doesn’t
feel the need to say they are they hero. They are the ones that you don’t see,
the ones behind the scene.
A call to action this year has evaded my academic life
but has struck deep in my personal life. My dear friend was faced with a deep
family issue and I was there supporting her. I was called upon to be a crutch
for her when needed. I was able to time manage my short time not only with
school but also with a campaign that helped many families.
Though I don’t want to be referred to as a hero I want to
allude to those who I feel are the true heroes; those who do things for others
but ask nothing in return because they were just doing their job or doing what
was right. Doctors, teachers, firefighters, nurses, military man, police, etc.,
they all do what is necessary to help make our lives better. Although they
don’t ask for the recognition, they feel good knowing that they are making a
difference.
Me, I don’t want to be a hero. I want to make a
difference and help my patients as much as I can. I know that my next steps in life
will lead me to be in a position where I can do what I can and take care of
those in my care.
My actions this year are not equivalent to those of
hero’s. However I am on a hero’s journey like all of us, and hope and
dedication might get me to the spot where I want to be.
