Courage Makes You a Better Person


       People worldwide every minute of the day put their lives at risk in order to save someone, even if they are a complete stranger. In order to live, many people would do anything, and others would do anything in order to save a loved one. In my case, I would do anything in order to let a loved one live. Saving someone else’s lives and becoming a hero to them is more important than being selfish and not giving them any help. Sure, sometimes you have to watch yourself too in dangerous situations, but if someone is in true danger where they might die, you need to put them before you. Showing this kind of braveness proves to other people that you are a good person at heart and from there on out, that is how they see you though their eyes .Also, if someone means that much to you that you would save their life in danger of yours, it shows that person how much you love them. Showing your loved ones this kind of affection is important because it shows them that you care for them and put your life at your own risk in order to help. To conclude, putting your life at risk to save a loved one’s life is more important than letting yourself be selfish because it shows your true affection for your loved ones, gives you a characteristic that people will remember you by, and it will overall make you a better person.
