Everyone Can be Hero

Everyone can be a hero. I think a hero is a person who sincerely sacrifices himself for many people or the environment. From the small example, street sweeper also can call as a hero. Why? because without them the road will not clean all the time. Many people just throw their rubbish everywhere. They do not realize the effect to their environment. Then who will clean up the rubbish if it is not the street sweeper? It seems so easy to become a street sweeper. 

Especially if they come from poor families. They worked hard for their children. They sincere to wake up early in the morning. Wearing the yellow-shirt, their pride cloth. They start working from morning until evening. In the morning also has dangerous risks to their health. For example, in the morning, the lack of light or dark becomes difficult for street sweepers to see around. In addition, sometimes in the early morning, many cars are speeding due to the lonely road conditions that can make the street sweeper more carefully.

In my life experience, I had been closed to one of the street sweepers in my hometown. He is Pak Sulis. His age maybe around 60 years old. He usually swept the street near my house. Like an alarm, in every morning I always woke up with his sweeping sound. When I looked at my clock, it was 5 a.m, it was really morning to street sweeper swept the street. But, I was so amazed to him. He was so kind and friendly. 

He always smiled and greeted me if I went to school. Until someday a bad thing happened to him. It was morning when I went to school. I saw Pak Sulis was helping to get students across the street. 

He always did that after finishing his job to sweep the street. Unfortunately, there was a speeding car from the back rammed into Pak Sulis. People around the street was shocked by the sound. I was running to see what was happening and I saw Pak Sulis lied in a very pathetic condition. Until a few days I did not hear the sound of his broom in the morning, apparently, Pak Sulis had dead. Everyone around my house was so sad after hearing that news. From that, I prayed his kindness accepted by God.
