Introduction:
Abraham Lincoln and Spider-Man are not the only heroes in the
world. Heroes can be extraordinary people like you and me. They
can be as young as a child or as old as a senior citizen. However,
as different as they might be, ordinary heroes like my Grandma
Jean posses universal qualities, such as courage, determination, and
compassion.

Body Paragraph One
Courage, which is undoubtadly a trait that heroes display, motivates people to make
positive changes in the world. In a society that believed a woman's place was in the
home, my grandmother's inner strength and courage allowed her to break the mold.
During the 1930s, she worked on Wall Street as the art editor for Good Housekeeping
magazine, and later in her life she became the country's first Cattlewoman of the year.
Even though she was frequently the only woman in a room filled with hundreds of
men, Grandma Jean still had the courage to gracefully stride up to the podium to speak
about the new genetic techniques that she designed to help ordinary cattlemen improve
the quality of their herds. In short, her inner strength and courage allowed her to
serve as an advocate for women's rights.

Body Paragraph Two
Another heroic quality is determination, which enables many people to overcome
challenges and difficult situations. Determined to help my invalid, wheelchair-bound
grandfather live a normal life, my grandmother invented a creative way for him to
roam the cattle pastures. Grandma Jean actually bought and renovated a Checker
taxicab! Every afternoon she maneuvered my grandfather's lift and drove him from
one field to another in his comfortable, king-size automobile. Without my
grandmother's determination and creativity, my grandfather would have been trapped
inside the house in his wheelchair, unable to view his beloved land and livestock.

Body Paragraph Three
Although courage and determination are heroic traits, perhaps the most important
quality is compassion. Without a doubt, caring about others and helping those in need
make the world a more humane place to live. For 15 years, my grandmother tirelessly
and selflessly cared for my grandfather. Because he literally had no muscles, Grandma
Jean awoke every hour on the hour each night to turn my grandfather on his side or
back so that he would not get bedsores. When Pop-Pop's hands and arms no longer
worked, my grandmother fed him, shaved him, and combed his hair. Even in the face
of her own devastating battle with cancer, my grandmother continued to show deep
compassion by comforting and reaching out to my grandfather, other cancer patients,
and her own family.

Conclusion
Heroes like my grandmother are not as extraordinary as Abraham Lincoln or SpiderMan. However, their courage, determination, and compassion inspire others to make
changes, overcome obstacles, and reach out to those in need. Heroes are our
beacons, our guides, the people who individually and collectively promote peace, justice,
love and understanding. Because of them, our world is a better place to live.

Transition: Because Juror 8 explains his reasons why the boy is not guilty and
other jurors explain their reasons, the boy is found not guilty.
