Joseph Campbell once said, “a hero is someone who has give his or her life to something bigger than oneself” (BrainyQuote). Heroes are the people who sacrifice their lives, money, and well being for the benefit of other people. They can be brave and courageous when faced with a dangerous situation. Heroes are average people, making mistakes like any other person would. So who’s to say that they aren't scared or hesitant? Heroism is self sacrifice, and being brave, but heroes themselves are not always fearless when performing their good deeds. When someone does something good he/she usually sacrifices something in their lives for other people. Welles Remy Crowther is an average man that is known for saving at least a dozen people during the attacks of September 11, 2001, where he lost his life. Welles sacrificed his life for people he didn't know and he didn't have…show more content… Eugene Segers served in the military and “he was driving his armored patrol vehicle when a homemade bomb exploded in the road underneath the Seger’s floorboard… Just below his knee, Segers’ right leg was gone”, and his life had been changed forever. He was just a soldier, serving in the military, and lost his leg in what could have been a fatal accident. He showed courage and bravery in the military, and showed that same bravery during his long recovery and his life changing injury. On the subject of courage and bravery another man was brave in a difficult situation. Chesley Sullenburg acted with bravery when he landed a US Airways airplane perfectly onto the icy surface of the Hudson River and saving 155 passengers. He didn’t have to do it, he could have frozen in fear, but he took action. And while having 155 passengers lives on the line, he saved them all. When other people are in peril, or when something happens and it changes his/her life, they have the courage to get through
