What Makes a Hero?

Here's an idea for thought - and possible free writing:

I guess most of us know the superheroes of today's culture - Superman, Batman, Spiderman, and so forth. They have super-human powers and defend the weak and innocent and uphold the ideals of truth and justice. Who is your favorite superhero? Have you ever thought who our real heroes are today? What qualities do they demonstrate? Why does (or should) society look up to them? How do they compare to the characters you've been reading about?

Are you bringing your textbooks with you to class each day? You should be. I know they're heavy, but just think about the arm muscles you're building! Don't leave your books in the classroom because those are the ones that eventually disappear, and they are expensive. I hope you're bringing your free reading book, too. You may begin to find time during class or Chief Time to read!
