A Hero in the Past, Present, and Future
Hero. What comes to mind when you think of this word? A hero does not
necessarily have to be someone that can fly, that has supersonic hearing, or even super strength. A hero can be an everyday person, dead or alive. An example is a police officer. Police officer’s sacrifice their lives everyday in the line of duty to protect innocent people and enforce laws. Another great example of a hero without superpowers are parents. Parents are willing to sacrifice themselves for their children everyday. They are determined to provide shelter, food, clothes, and an education for them. The qualities of a hero include sacrifice, determination, loyalty, courage, bravery, dedication, and much more. My hero, Abraham Lincoln, showed great examples of all these qualities of a hero. Abraham Lincoln is my hero because he made an impact on so many lives in so many ways. He also became president in the most unsettled time known in American history, which is the main reason Abraham Lincoln is my hero. Lincoln had victories and he had defeats, he did things well and he did things poorly, but in the process he demonstrated some great heroic qualities. He is someone everyone in America cherishes and will always remember now and certainly in the future. Abraham Lincoln’s qualities that made him a hero is his honesty, courage, and dedication.
Abraham Lincoln is my hero because he became the 16th president of America in the most unsettled and difficult time known in American history. Said by Dinesh D’souza, “In my view, Lincoln was the true ‘philosophical statesman’, one who was truly good and truly wise. Standing in front his critics, Lincoln is a colossus, and all of the Lilliputian arrows hurled at him bounce harmlessly to the ground. It is hard to put any other president – not even George Washington – in the same category as Abraham Lincoln. He is simply the greatest practitioner of democratic statesmanship that America and the world have yet produced.”
