When we watch movies, often they center around exaggerating stereotypes to create drama and make people interested in watching. My personal experience of high school was rather lame, there were no classic "popular kids". If I look back at my experience in high school, the closest thing I could associate to being "cool" was the band people, not the classic stereotype of the athletes. Of course there were the bad upperclassmen, and the bad freshmen and sophomores, but our school revolved around the really nice people. The ones I still remember are the people who were absolutely nice to everyone and I still don't know how they were so generous and kind all of the time, every day. Our lives are not a movie, there is no protagonist against the onslaught of injustice and horrors of the stereotypical dramatic situation, whatever it may be. We are all protagonists in our life story but its our perception to things and how we react to them that makes all the difference even in a world without the 'classic' movie situations. So how do you become the hero in your own life story? Be the person you want to see in the world. Be the person that you want to see around you and people will start to notice and you may create your own little ripple. Your actions have reactions, and you must choose whether you want your reactions to be positive or negative. It's hard, I know, and there will be times when we can't always be the good person and that's okay. The only thing that matters is that you know that you can be the hero, you just have to try to be.
