Babu’s Song

Think about what it means to be a hero. Describe someone in your family who is a hero. Family members can be heroes. Sometimes a hero is an ordinary person that does great things. This can mean caring for people and respecting them. It can mean trying hard and not giving up. It can also mean being honest, or thinking of others before oneself. Is there someone you know who you think is a hero? Tell why.
