A HERO is someone who does something special to HELP OTHERS. Every hero STARTS as a CHILD, and every Child can CHOOSE to become a Hero... Just like THIS one!In the early 1800s, life was very hard for poor people living in England, and that s just when Charles Dickens was born. Although his father worked hard, he still couldn't feed his family and pay all of his bills, so he was arrested and sent to prison. Charles was only a young boy when that happened, and he had to go to work in a shoe polish factory to HELP earn money for his mother and his six brothers and sisters. Later, his family inherited some money, so his father w as finally able to pay all of the bills and get out of prison. And Charles was able to go to a good school and get a good education. He knew that education was very important for anyone who did not want to live in poverty.
Charles later became a reporter for several newspapers. He cared a great deal about what happened to people, and he went to work with his writing to HELP make England a better place for children and adults to live. When he was only 21 years old, his very first story was published. Soon, he became the famous author of several books like Oliver Twist and A Christmas Carol.
Even though Charles Dickens became successful and wealthy, he never quit caring about people who were treated unfairly because they were poor or because they had a different color of skin. Charles Dickens wrote and spoke out about the rights of everyone to have an education, safe places to work, opportunity to go to the doctor, and better childhoods. Charles Dickens cared, and because of that, he became a HERO.

A HERO is someone who does something special to HELP OTHERS. Every hero STARTS as a CHILD, and every Child can CHOOSE to become a Hero... Just like THIS one!Once there was a man who had a dream of a world where every person lived in peace, where everyone was treated fairly and with respect. He helped many people learn about peace and about brotherhood. That man was a real HERO! That man was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.!
When Martin was a young boy, he saw that some people were mean to other people just because their skin was a different color. Some people were not allowed to go to certain places or sit in certain seats. Some children were not allowed to play with others all because they were a different color. Martin could not understand any of this. He didn’t understand why kids couldn’t just be friends.
One day, young Martin went shopping for some new shoes with his father. When they found the pair he liked, Martin and his father sat down in the first empty seats they saw. Of course, he couldn’t wait to try on those brand new shoes when suddenly he heard a very unfriendly voice.
“You and your boy move the seats in the back of the store then I will help you with those shoes!”
Well, just then, Martin’s father took his son’s hand, and they walked right out of the store. Why had that man been so angry with them? What had they done wrong? Martin never forgot what happened in the store that day, and he promised himself and his dad that he would work hard to someday help change the laws, customs, and attitudes that caused some people to treat each other so badly. Over the years, Martin Luther King, Jr. did work hard, and laws, customs, and attitudes that kept people apart did change! But with Martin, it all started when he was just a young boy who made a promise that he always remembered. He worked hard from that point on to help fix something he knew was wrong.

A HERO is someone who does something special to HELP OTHERS. Every hero STARTS as a CHILD, and every Child can CHOOSE to become a Hero... Just like THIS one!Sometimes it seems that boys are always hungry, and young Freddy Douglass was hungry but not for food. He was hungry to learn! More than anything, he wanted to learn to read! But, Freddy was a slave, and as a slave it was against the law for him to go to school. He didn’t think that was very fair, but he was a young boy and certainly could not change the law. Still he was determined to find a way to learn. And that’s exactly what he did. You see, Freddy knew that some of the boys who were able to go to school would rather eat than read so he thought of a pretty smart plan. He decided that he would feed their stomachs if they would feed his brain! Everyday he began taking them bread and cookies, and they would teach him what they had learned at school that day.
Soon he became an excellent reader, and he worked hard at learning all that he could. He also learned to write and speak well. As a grown man, Frederick Douglass found a way to become a free man, and he wanted more than anything to see fairness for all people. He also wanted to see that all children would have the opportunity to learn and be well educated. Many people began listening to him as he talked about and wrote about fairness. He spent many hours talking with Abraham Lincoln, and actually helped President Lincoln decide to free all of the slaves. And because of that, he became a very important man. Yes, Freddy Douglass, the young boy who grew up as a slave knew all about fairness. He grew up to be Frederick Douglass the HERO.

A HERO is someone who does something special to HELP OTHERS. Every hero STARTS as a CHILD, and every Child can CHOOSE to become a Hero... Just like THIS one!Richard was only eleven years old when he, at last, convinced his mother to let him travel by himself
to the Philippine Islands. He didn t whine or beg his mother; instead he gave good reasons why she should let him go, and he was determined.
So with suitcase packed, he left his home in Virginia and headed west by train to California. There he boarded a ship and sailed all the way to the Philippines. After his visit there, he didn t go back he went forward all the way back home to Virginia. Richard was not even thirteen years old, and he had already traveled all the way around the world by himself!
Richard Byrd was a determined accomplisher! He joined the United States Naval Academy when he was twenty years old, and his determination paid off again when he convinced the Navy to let him become a pilot. He had a goal of being the first person to fly to the North Pole, and even though there were many problems to prevent him from doing that, he continued in his determination, and finally flew over the North Pole and into the history books on May 9th, 1926.
While he had many accomplishments in his lifetime, Richard Byrd is best known for his exploration, not of the North Pole, but of the South Pole and the continent of Antarctica. Through many trips there, and even living there for a long time, he gave the world much information about that frozen continent. Yes, that determined eleven year old, Richard Byrd who traveled around the world by himself, grew up to become Admiral Richard Byrd the HERO.

A HERO is someone who does something special to HELP OTHERS. Every hero STARTS as a CHILD, and every Child can CHOOSE to become a Hero... Just like THIS one!Growing up in Arizona in the early 1930s was difficult for Cesar Chavez and his parents. Because of the Great Depression, his father lost the family business and soon had no work or money. In 1937, his family had to move to California to find work.
During those young years, he began to see how unfair people could be to each other, but he also learned many things from his mother. She believed that violence and selfishness were wrong, and she taught these lessons to all of her children.
As Cesar grew older, he went to work picking grapes in vineyards, along with many, many others. He began to see how unfairly the workers were treated, and how they weren t paid enough for their work. The owners of the companies were taking great advantage of the workers. So in addition to working hard everyday, Cesar started organizing workers to demand pay raises and better working conditions. They did not want to get something for nothing, they just wanted to be paid fairly for their work, and treated with the respect they and their families deserved. Later, he began to HELP others all over the country. He formed an organization called the National Farm Workers Association, which today is called United Farm Workers. But he went further, much further. Cesar also began to work hard to change laws about what chemicals could be used on crops and which ones could not, because some were just too dangerous. In 1994, after Cesar Chavez had died, the President of the United States presented the Medal of Freedom, to his wife, Helen. Yes, that little boy named Cesar, who saw how unfairly workers in the fields were treated, grew up to HELP millions of people, and for that, he became a very great HERO.
