Who is your HERO
Who is your HERO?
What makes hero? ‘Heroes don’t need to fly or shoot lasers from their eyes to be the one who saves countless lives’, ‘They just need to try to do what is right, to be the hero, shining in the night’. As poem says, heroes come in many shapes and sizes with no specification, but not all of them have the supernatural skill, flowing capes and tight spandex pants. In this world, the real heroes is just a normal people trying to do the right thing and make the things right. I believe a hero is someone who being a good person, no matter the cost, helps whoever in need, willing to put their own life at risk to save someone life and make other’s life better.
Steve Irwin, as known as The Crocodile Hunter, is my hero. Steve Irwin grew up in Australia with his dad Bob Irwin and mom Lyn Irwin. Steve helped his parents, with their Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park which owned by his parents, where Steve grew up around crocodiles and other reptiles. It was there that he learned all he could about animals.
Steve became very involved with the park in a number of ways, including taking part in daily animal feeding, as well as care and maintenance activities. On his six years old birthday, he got a 12-foot (4 m) scrub python as present. He began handling crocodiles at the age of nine after his father had educated him on reptiles from an early age. Also at age nine he wrestled his first crocodile which under his father's supervision. He worked as a volunteer for Queensland's East Coast Crocodile Management program and captured over 100 crocodiles, some of which were relocated, while others were housed at the family park. Irwin took over the management of the park in 1991 and renamed it as ‘Australia Zoo’ in 1992.
The reason why Steve Irwin is my heroes is because he is a truly amazing and gifted man whom I admire. Steve Irwin was known as the crazy man who bravely and confidently jumped on alligator’s back, wrestling with nine foot crocodile, play with venomous
