An Illustrious Hero
It take some people a lifetime to figure out who they are, and what they want from life. Some know who they are and what they want from the beginning. One of those people is Bono, a singer and humanitarian.
Having a passion for music from a young age Bono followed his dream and joined a band. From the beginning he was set on being huge and accepted nothing less than his best. Being a journalist has been an aspiration of mine my entire life. Suffering from being shy made me wary of whether or not I could achieve that dream. But seeing how in the face of adversity, whether it be the capricious music industry or just being timid, Bono shows that a passion for what you do and a strong work ethic, can help you achieve what you dream.
No matter who you are there are opportunities to help people all around us. Many people in the spotlight have chosen to do nothing with the power of persuasion they have over many. Bono has been an advocate for many different causes throughout his life. From pacifistic views on violence in his home country of Ireland, to raising awareness on the AIDS epidemic in Africa, Bono has tried to better the world he is in. Taking the initiative to help others, no matter how big or small the action, is a very admirable trait.
While many people have accessible heroes whom they look up to, I have a famous one. I may never meet him and he may never know the profound effect he had on me, but his unorthodox dreams, his passion for helping others, his love for everything he does, has changed who I am. He showed me to be myself and helping others is advantageous for everyone involved. He?s not your everyday hero, but he?s my illustrious hero.
