Coming to the kingdom Beowulf was not even worried with what he might get in return

Mahatma Gandhi was an Indian hero who inspired a country to revolve and free themselves of oppression. He is the type of person who no one else could ever become‚ but if there was someone who I would like to model myself after‚ it is him. He changed the course of history with his new ideas‚ and he freed what would become billions of people. Without Gandhi‚ I would not be alive today.

What is a hero? When confronted with this question‚ many people would answer with “Superman” or “Batman”. A hero isn’t always someone who wears a cape.
