Are Heroes Ordinary People?

Are they?

Kia ora everyone, My name is Victoria 

Today I will be speaking to you on the topic of heroes. Are heroes ordinary people?

Well In my opinion, I believe that heroes are ordinary people, because they

are born the same way as us, they bleed the same colour blood as us,

and they function the same way as us.The only reason  that makes them

seem different to the eyes of society is the way that they choose to impact

the world.

For example, singers. Some people see singers as heroes, because the

lyrics in their songs may help them with their everyday struggles.

Another example are police officers, doctors and nurses, lets not forget

about our  firefighters who are putting their lives on the line for us everyday, 

Again, these people are ordinary people who are just like us, but they choose

to make a difference in the world everyday by taking extreme risks.

Have you ever heard of Sir Edmund Hillary?  Well, he was one of the bravest

men because he was the first, with the help of Tenzing Norgay to reach the

summit of Mount Everest. The highest mountain peak in the world!  Do you

know why he became a hero?    Not forgetting that in Nepal he built schools for

children who couldn’t afford to go school and in addition he also managed to build

hospitals and clinics . People in Nepal are very grateful for what he has done. Did you

know that even some of the trees in our school were actually planted by Sir Edmund

Hillary himself.

He is an inspiration to many people, including myself.

Now the question I would like to leave with you is, who is

your ordinary hero`

Are they motivating you to make a difference?

Thank you for your time and for listening 

I hope you all enjoyed my speech.
