The Hero in Me

Today we talked about the hero inside of us and what it takes to be a hero besides being strong or fast. Heros have learned to take care of themselves as well as others. We decided it takes kindness, helpfulness, caring and love to be a good hero. We also talked about who we think is a good hero like; firemen, police, etc.
