Hero

A hero is someone with good intentions doing what they believe is good, and gives people hope and belief that good can conquer evil. It's why we root for the underdog. We want them to win, and be the hero, the victor, the champion. The people we look up to and aspire to be like are heroes of a specific type, role models. People who save people from burning buildings, rescuing us, saving us; our saviors. The brave soldiers who stand up and defend us against harm from other countries. Teachers are heroes too, helping people improve themselves by learning and sharing knowledge.

I wanted to start this page to share an idea I had, to BE a hero, to someone, so let's hop right into that.

Be a Tour Guide
Go to a museum that interests you. Go again, tomorrow. Go again next Saturday. Sign up for a tour, learn all the exhibits you find fascinating. Then bring someone to the museum with you. Give them a personal tour. Tell them all about the stuff you like, ask them what they like. Encourage them to ask you questions about the things you think you know about, and then look to see if you were right. Share your energy and enthusiasm for something. Don't memorize everything, you don't want to be a know-it-all, but show someone how they can learn with your enthusiasm.

This was inspired by the positive bonding feeling I had after I went to the Computer History Museum with my father, I felt in my environment, I felt my dad was proud of my knowledge and understanding of things, it felt amazing.
