A hero is someone who has CONFIDENCE myNotes

6 An ancient Chinese legend tells of a young woman named
Hua Mulan who bravely takes her father’s place in the
army, fighting bravely alongside warriors with much more
experience. Her secret is her training. Mulan’s father had

drilled her in the martial arts, so she is sure of herself when
she goes into battle.

7 Confidence is crucial for real-life heroes, too. Police
officers train carefully so they know how to react in
dangerous situations. Hard work and preparation

give everyday people the confidence to respond
heroically to challenges.

A hero is someone who is DETERMINED

8 Many athletes are heroes because they inspire us with
their hard work and determination. Sports heroes

spend years sharpening their skills. They may fail more
than they succeed, but they seldom give up.

9 The same is true for many fictional heroes. In
Charlotte’s Web, Charlotte is one determined spider.
She works valiantly to rescue Wilbur the pig from an

unhappy fate. Against all odds, the gentle spider saves
her friend’s life.

10 Now that you know what it takes to be a hero,
why not aspire to be one yourself? You don’t
need to slay monsters or break records—just
find your own special way to be a hero and

help make the world a better place!
