Amba's thoughts about Heroes

When I first heard about the Heroes project, I thought that it would be hard, and so it was, but it was fun and worth finding out about. And what I found interesting was that a Hero can be anyone, but only a good person and someone that means well.

Heroes don't have to be Super Heroes, they could be like Lauren's Firefighter mum that saved people from fires in houses and buildings. And Mr Purdie that saved people in the bush, or even worse. Or like Brigadier Torrance, the Army man who told us about how he survived in Vietnam.

And also like the Olympic swimmer,Danyon Loader, Norbert Hausberg, the Puppeteer and the 'Wok and Wol' Puppeteer.

So a hero can be anyone and they can be like the teachers at Oroua Downs, and I think that heros are very cool to teach people and save people and things.

Heroes can be people that sell food or clothes to help us survive especially food because if we did not have food we'd die.

So heroes can be anyone. Heroes are almost everyone that we see every day because they've probably done something special, very special as well. But like Brigadier Torrance, some are bigger heroes than others.

A hero could be someone at this school, for example Drew or Michelle or anyone!!

A hero could be someone that's done something very simple, like saving a cat or something that maybe is very ugly but special.

A hero could be an animal because I've heard of a dog that saved a human from drowning in a lake.

So a hero can be ANYONE. So are YOU a HERO?
