Standing up for Your Beliefs

Heros are people, who are admired or idealized for courage, outstanding acheivents or noble qualities. There are a lot of heros in history, all having to stand up for their beliefs. Which, can be hard. Harriet Tubman, for example had to leave her comfomity and freedom behind, back to the land of slavery that she had once tried so hard to escape just to save African slaves. Reason? Because she believed that all men should be able to have freedom, be the master of their own life. Even a black slave.( I am not discriminatnig anyone or anything, just saying out of the point of view of people at that time. Nothing personel.) And she stood up for her believes. That was a terribly brave act to do, which is why people named her a hero. Another example would be an award winning teacher named Brad Cohen who had a disease that caused him to make weird noises and sound that he do not want to make, and the worse thing about this is that he can not control it. Well, Brad wants to be a teacher but 24 schools rejected him. Yet, he stood up to his belief of being a great teacher and not to be defeated by his disease, he continued on until a school finally accepted him. He later won an award for his great teaching. As in for me, I am not religious or anything so I don't really have anything to stand up for. But if I really have to state one, I would say to have democrecy in countries. Give people the right to vote, be educated...etc. So we can have a more succesful goverment and comminity.
