My Hero Heroism is defined as a person who exhibits bravery and nobility under all circumstances. I consider heroism to be associated with a person's idol or someone they hold dearest to their heart. Heroes are usually someone you believe in all of your life, from childhood to adulthood. They are often someone who you picture as a role model, or someone you would rather be like and follow into the same profession as them. Heroes usually have a few setbacks in their life whether they are human or fictional characters, but true heroes in my opinion are someone who tries to overcome their setbacks in all situations. Heroes do not necessarily have to be someone you will never be, such as Superman. They can be anyone from the president of the United States to your next door neighbor who happens to be a firefighter.
My personal heroes are racecar drivers and anyone who has a need for speed.

Racers must concentrate on many factors surrounding them, but they must also concentrate on winning the race they are in. When racers lose their concentration, even if it is just for the blink of an eye they could be sent sliding treacherously into the wall...
