Chapter 3

“Heroes are people who rise to the occasion and slip quietly away.”

Real heroes are people who do the right thing when it is the hardest thing to do. Real heroes are teachers and veterans who sacrifice their time and lives in trying to make a difference in this world. Real heroes are like the superheroes in the movies where they save the girl and become famous, instead real heroes do heroic things everyday with no acclaimed for the things they did. Teachers are heroes in my opinion because they can changed the life of child either positively or negatively and it can have a lifelong affect on that child. Teachers who can influent a child positively can affect their lives for the better. Veterans give up their lives to protect our lives but when they come home they are forgotten and these heroes should always be remembered.

“Don’t go backwards; you have already been there.”-Ray Charles

In life we must always try to look forward, if we don’t we will keep doing the same mistakes we did in the past. Its easy to go backwards when your having a hard time in your life, but going backwards is like shooting yourself in the foot. We must always try to be positive and learn from our past mistakes Its not easy to become a better person and it takes time to realize your past mistakes and improve on them, but when you finally do it will set you free. You should always strive to be a better person no matter how difficult you think it will be .

“There must be more to life than having everything.”-Maurice Sendak

Having everything in your life is a blessing and a curse, because it doesn’t help you appreciate how hard life really is and how many people work so hard to get by. I am one of these people who have been given everything in my life. My parents have given everything in my life and it made not appreciate the effort that goes in giving all those material things. I am now just starting to realize how hard it is for people to give their children a good life. I went to private school my whole life and most of my friends were very wealthy. Most of my friends never have worked a day in their lives but they were given everything just like me and they should realized that there was more to life then having the newest pair of shoes or car. Once you realize that you become a better person and try to give back to your community more. If you only care about material things than your life would have no meaning because you will always have to get the newest things and your whole life will be run by other people’s opinions.
