It could be a Hollywood celebrity, a teacher, a social activist... the limitations are endless.
It could be more than one person or might not even be a person (say, a fictional character maybe?)
Who is your hero?
I know I have a whole lot of them, but there is one running around in my mind right this moment, saving my life (metaphorically speaking) as I write. This person is a hero to me in two different ways: how they make me feel and just how they are as a person. This hero of mine is one of my inspirations; they make me want to become a better person.
