Can a Leader Become a Hero?

In English class we have been doing things about what a hero is and reading about some important heroes whether myths or real people today. I had too find two articles about heroes on the news and found one on a guy who made homes for disabled war veterans and on who worked on making new electricity possibilities for Africa. I thought about can a leader become a hero and what does it take for a leader too become a hero. First off my definition of a hero was someone who inspires people in many ways and can make an effective change in the world. I believe anyone can become a hero but what they have too go through first is being an effective leader and they must need important leadership qualities. I believe a hero can be anyone in the world and doesn't mean you have too be a super-hero.
