Hero Really Bad

            One thing the world will never run out of is heroes. Heroes have been around for as long as we have kept note of them. Heroes come in all types of aid. Heroes sometimes help in the form of leadership. Gaius Julius Caesar was one of the world's most powerful leaders and was killed for that. Another great leader, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., was also assassinated for his leadership. Sometimes a hero will lead a revolution in the area of science. Such as astronauts such as Neil Armstrong the American who was the first human to walk on the moon, and Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin who was the first human to completely orbit the earth. Sometimes Heroes will also lead the sports world such as Jackie Robinson who entered a white world of baseball paving for all the other races that now play baseball. Lance Armstrong is another hero of the sports world, Lance was diagnosed with cancer at age 25 but battled through the cancer and is now considered the best bicyclist in the world when he won another Tour De France this past year. Another person that I would say defines the word hero is George Bush Jr.
             George Bush humanizes the word hero. Sometimes heroes are thought of as perfect, George Bush proves that you don't have to be perfect to be a hero. George Bush has made mistakes before early in his life that people tried to use against him in his role as President of the United States of America. George Bush has also been ridiculed for his actions are various issues. But I believe his ways of facing the issues seen by the country during his term as president is what makes him a hero. .
             George Bush was faced with the most difficult attack on homeland then any other leader on the morning of September 11. George Bush did his best to payback those believed to be accountable for these attacks. With his process of payback he has tried to single handedly eradicate terrorism from ever being performed on U.S. soil. .
