    My views of heroism were different as a child than they are today. Growing up, many different people influenced me, but the main person that I looked up to was Sarah Stanley. She still to this day remains a dance leader at my church. Although she was a positive influence on me, other unethical idols came into the picture. I viewed people such as Brittney Spears as a hero, when she most definately is not one. Many other children had the same problem of not having many requirments of what a "hero" was as growing up. I was impacted by what we were told not the decisions I made on my own which I would expect from a child.

    When I became more mature I began to view heroism differently. Not any ramdom person I liked would do as my hero. As for others I could not say the same. Many teenagers became even more consumed with the misleading idols of the world growing up. In my case things have become clearer and answers became more visible. I find myself looking up to many people that have pursued the same risky career path that I dream to one day, but that does not mean any of them are unethical (such as Audrey Hepburn). In fact that is why I liked them in the first place. They are people that choose to do right even with other people staring at them as if they were in a fish bowl of judgment. I found that very courageous.

    As I read the assigned literature this year, I felt that I learned the most about heroism while reading Les Miserables. The main trait that I have always looked for in a hero is courage. Courage is not doing something dangerous without being scared. It is when a person has made the choice to do what they know is right even if it is not what others or themselves may want. Javert appeared as the antagonist to me throughout the story. Now that I have looked back at the story and thought it through, I have come to the conclusion that he was a brave man worthy of the name "hero." Although no one had ever favored him, he remained constant in his own beliefs of not doing the wrong things.

      Although I chose Audrey Hepburn as the hero I would research, I did consider other great, influential people before her. The first person I was immediately drawn to was Lady Gaga.  This woman stood out to me as a modest hero. She supports all the outlandish people of the world. She calls her fans the same thing she calls herself (little monsters). This represents the how she sees herself as imperfect just like her followers. I already know over whelming amounts of information about her that could help support the idea of her as a role model. When I heard multiple people thinking of studying Lady Gaga I decided against her because I feel the need to be original. After thinking over the suggestions, such as members from columbine, I returned to school completely clueless. Then Mrs. Simmons suggested that I investigate Audrey Hepburn. I have always looked up to her in an acting aspect, but I never thought of her as a hero. As I began researching more about her, I came to the realization that I definitely wanted to learn more about her.  She is someone I adore and love reading about now.
