There are all kinds of heroes: Everyday heroes like parents, police officers, firefighters, military personnel, hospital workers, and teachers. (I feel weird adding that last one, because I am a teacher, but heck-my colleagues deserve some kind of recognition!) Personal heroes: my mom- a(ll) cancer survivor(s); my best friend for having the guts to live her life her way; artists who dare and follow their dreams (per the illo above) and even my students-for daring to go against what is "cool" and choosing to do what is right, or choosing to want to learn. I can go on all kinds of tangents here, people. There's also those heroes that everyone knows; those who do what is right, simply because it is: Nelson Mandela, Mother Theresa, Red Cross, Unicef, World Wildlife Federation, Omnifam and World Health Organization
Before I get too preachy, I want to recommend a movie. It's called "The Girl in the Cafe" Now, if you have a short attention span, you may have trouble watching this movie. This movie is all about subtle nuances, and reading people- not just listening to what they say, but how it's said. This movie is making a call to a generation about an ongoing crisis global crisis. It makes you really think and forces you to feel. The two characters in that movie: Lawrence and Gina are two more heroes I'm going to add to my list.

Hero
(I've been keeping this in draft stage, but it doesn't look like I'm going to come up with an image for the topic, so I thought I'd post it anyway. )
