What is a hero? A hero is someone who does a service to ones community even when staring death in the eyes. A hero is someone who willingly even when face to face with adversity does not quit. A hero can vary from the policemen who keep the streets safe to a preserver of the peace and prosperity to a political leader who helps secure the endowment of democracy to our his country and their posterity. Of all these type of heroes, I tend to believe that the heroes who preserve both peace and prosperity while helping end a deficiency of the human race such as racism is more inspiring, which is why, for my hero I chose Mohondas Karachamand Gandhi who is best known as Mahatma (good soul) Gandhi. Mahatma Gandhi helped uproot the tree of racism and even after being arrested multiple times, he, through both thick and thin, did not give up until his work was finished to a sufficient amount. Mahatma Gandhi may have been a lawyer, an humanitarian, a civil rights activist, legal advisor, and a na tionalist leader, but he was most of all, a hero Mahatma Gandhi was born on October 2,1869 at Porbandar, Gujarat to a very respected family. His father was the chief minister of Porbandar. A few years after Mahatma Gandhi was born, his father had died leaving Gandhi depressed. After a few years, he slowly got on with his life and in the year of 1888, had set sail for England so he could finish his degree in law at the Inner Temple, one of the four law schools in England. He was called to bar in 1891 and even enrolled in the high court of London, yet later that very year he returned to India. In India, after a year of very unsuccessful law practice, he decided to accept an offer from an Indian business man,Dada Abdulla, in which Gandhi would traveled ... ...for his plans to liberate India. In 1942 Gandhi issued a last call for independence by eloquently, in a speech, asking every Indian to lay down there life if it need be to earn India freedom from Britain. In response, Britain arrested both Gandhi and nearly the entire Congress and held them locked up until the conclusion of the war. India soon became a separate country and Gandhi was released. Gandhi is considered a hero because even after he was unjustly arrested multiple times, he persevered and made a difference Gandhi is considered a hero not only because he helped uproot racism, he cared for all classes in society, and because he perseveres through thick and thin, but more of because he made a changed the world forever. Without Gandhi and his techniques, the world would be full of discrimination and racism. If there was one word to describe Gandhi, it is heroic
