The hero struggles for something valueable or important.

I am constantly trying to get a starting spot on my high school's football team and soccer team. Most days I wake up and ask myself, "What am I going to do to get better, stronger, and faster? How can I get my spot?" It is very hard to get a starting spot because I am a freshman and I am competing against sophomores and juniors for the same position. Most of them are stronger and bigger than me. That makes it really, really tough. Honestly, I just pray that nobody gets hurt. That is the main point, but I will always work my hardest to get to my goal....a starting position on those teams.

The hero undergoes some type of ritual or ceromony

My religion is Catholic. Last year I made my Confirmation. A Confirmation is when you confirm your belief in God and Jesus. It is a ceremony to get closer to the Lord. It is an amazing feeling to have. You can feel God get closer to you and you know He is there watching and guiding you. He is always making sure that you are doing the right thing. Also, at the end of this life, you know that there is eternal life with Him....John 3:16. You will be with Him forever. I wish that everyone could go through something like this. It changed my life, and I am so thankful for it.

The hero is naive and inexperienced

Many teenagers today think that they are very experienced heroes and "know it all." I used to be one of those teenagers. Actually, we are one of the least experienced heroes in the world. The people that we should really look up to are older people . We should respect our elders and watch what they do....learn from them. We can see how they became the experienced heroes that they are. Sometimes you have to be humble and listen rather than boastful and loud. If more teenagers did this, then the world would be a better place.
