EARTHKEEPER HERO
There are many definitions of a hero. A hero can be described as a person who dedicates his life to the needs of others. Or, a hero can also be described as a person or something that affects or saves others’ lives. A hero can help motivate others. Of course, everyone has his own perception about the characteristics of a hero. And I believe that everyone can be a hero, for himself or for another person. A person must not always be strong or famous or rich to be a hero. All that a person needs to be is just, have honest intentions and great spirit to make something better, not only for many people, but, most importantly, for himself.
A great thing always starts from a little thing. Actually, I have many people that I consider as heroes, for example, my parents, The GOD, teacher, and many more. And there are some organisms who are real heroes for the environment, although they are often forgotten or overlooked. Some of these organisms are bacteria & fungi (decomposers)which are actually environment cleaners. Maybe you will think that it’s ridiculous and maybe you will also wonder why I would choose these organisms as my hero when there are many famous figures in the world. But have you ever thought what your environment would be like if there are no decomposers in your area? We would live in a big trash bin.But maybe you will say, "It’s their job, so of course it’s their responsibility to keep the environment clean." Yes, you may be right again, but at the same time you need to agree that they are very important for our healthy survival.
Good Bye for now dear students. I'll wait for your comments
