Remembering September 11th...
So often when people think of what a hero is, they think of characters like Batman, Wonder Woman, or even Superman. But a hero doesn’t have to be one of the many characters that we see in movies or in cartoons.
An Everyday Hero is someone who makes a difference in the life of a person.
An Everyday Hero is someone who can be counted on and who is respected.
An Everyday Hero is someone who is trustworthy and responsible.
An Everyday Hero is there for you when you need help.
Everyday Heroes make a difference because they care.
On September 11, 2001, we as a nation discovered many Everyday Heroes and because of this yesterday is known as Patriot Day. It is a day to remember all of those hereos, as well as the Everyday Heroes that make a difference in our lives. Let us have a moment of silence, where each of us thinks of an Everyday Hero that has helped us. Now please stand as we listen to and sing along to the National Anthem, The Star Spangled Banner, in honor of those Everyday Heroes.
Remember, anyone can do something to fill another person’s bucket and as a result, anyone can be an Everyday Hero… that means you too have the power to be an everyday hero.
See being an everyday hero is as simple as being the best bucketfiller you can be and making the choice to do something that can make the world a better place. So in honor of all the heroes that helped others on September 11th, 2001, make the choice to do something for others day… make yourself proud!
Remember to keep smiling, be respectful and responsible, and be the best bucket filler you can be! Nixon School Rules!
