“A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” –  Christopher Reeve

  • What does this quote mean to you?
  • Going back to what we discussed at the beginning of this unit, name two traits a hero should have and why they need those traits.
  • Who in your own life do you consider a hero?  Why?
  • Name one person from history that has the qualities of a hero?  Why would you pick that person?

To me the quote means that in order to be considered a hero then you must be willing to overcome obstacles that will be hard to get through, but if you keep trying and go and do it, then you will be considered a hero. The traits that you must have in order to be a hero is first off, you must be brave. Second, you must know that God is with you and he will always be there to help when you are in need of help. You must have faith that you are strong enough and are capable of doing these things.
