The definition of a hero in the dictionary is a person admired for their achievements and noble qualities. Another meaning states that it’s an act of self-sacrifice from a point of weakness. Even though the word “hero” is defined differently in human culture, there’s still one similarity on all of them: Serving the greater good and supporting the little man. But some people have stricken that principle and only do it for the publicity and themselves. What I think that is value in a hero is exactly what I said before and my hero choice and not only has this person done this, but they’ve did it with flying colors. My hero is Dr.Roseanna Means-Medical Marvel.
Dr.Means and her group, Women of Means, have a goal “to improve the lives of women who are homeless through quality health care, education and advocacy.” From 1990-1998, she’s been practicing Internist in Boston’s health clinics and homeless shelters. She observed that homeless women we being shortly on not represented at the clinics and that using the regular methods of health care is overwhelming to women with mental illnesses or pure fear. Knowing the consequences, she founded the Women of Means. Today, a team of over twenty volunteer and physicians work to share their medical model to other physicians and advocate for the women at social justice and academic levels.
Even though must’ve changed your opinion on what a hero is, that doesn’t change your opinion on what the definition on what a hero is. Everybody has their own in interpretation, maybe from a fictional past story or their own experiences , it works for them and that’s go enough. I hope that you definition on my hero is best-fitting as possible.
