My hero was my Mom, she battled cancer with such courage that I am in awe of her. I miss you Mom!
anyone that does good things.
Enrique Iglesias, because he told me he can: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koJlIGDImiU

Batman, hands down.
My wonderful husband is my hero. He is a very thoughtful and kind person!
My hero would definitely be Nick Vujicic. Nick’s charisma and ability to say “No , I’ll keep going” to all of his challenges , just brings strength into my heart. Nick is a motivational speaker , he was born with no legs , no arms , except for your normal human body parts. Throughout his life he was bombarded with difficult tasks but he made through.
An example of him using his strength would be him , being able to swim. Yes , Nick can actually swim with no legs and no arms … unbelievable.
Here’s a video to show what I’m trying to say : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUas9uNPDuM&feature=related
The best thing is that he’s not very embarrassed about his situation , at all. As a Matter fact , he goes on tour and preaches about Christ with humor and pride.
Now that’s a Hero , hands down.
My Mom is my hero. She never fails to brighten up a dark day with her sense of humor.
I have two teen heroes!
My mom is, she’s in pain everyday and she’s trying to be strong. It sickens me so much to see her like this. She’s my hero.
The RoadRunner ~meep meep~
My hero is turkey, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, oregano, & pepper. That’s my kind of hero sandwich.
Anjolina Jolie for adopting all those children.
My hero is my dad. When I was young we always shared stories at the supper table and hearing his crazy stories about his day teaching junior high students surprisingly drew me into the profession. He always tried to make a difference in their lives and now I try to do the same thing for my students.
My dad. He had a difficult childhood and managed to accomplish so much with his life.

My hero is William Shatner. Actor..Director..Producer..Writer..Author..Comedian..Canadian… What a power house of talent!
My hero is Terry Fox.
My hero is all the parents in the world.
The toughest job in the world, it knows no quitting time and sometimes can be so thankless. Until a little smile spreads across a toothless face and then that paycheck is the best reward ever!
My hero would be my Grandmother. She left Russia as the communists were coming into power. Went to China, met my Grandfather, learned to speak English, raised her family during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, and eventually, emigrated to Canada. She handled great adversity through most of her life, and still remained a strong person and a defender of those who needed help. A true Canadian, I would say.
(I know, no giggles in this answer. Next time…)
My hero is my step-dad. He’s overcome so many obstacles in life and is one of the kindest, more caring and giving people I’ve ever met.
Oddly enough I think my hero would have to be Charlize Theron. Not only is she a great actress but she also makes a significant difference by giving back to the community (not necessarily when she goes to Africa to give back to children, but she’s also an activist in women’s rights organizations). Sometimes I believe what makes her better than some of the other stars, is most of her good deeds aren’t always produced in the papers – well, that’s a good thing in the sense that she continues to help wholeheartedly without a care of any further publicity.
Rodrick Haig Brown – a true sportsman who advocated for sportsfishing and conservation in British Columbia
My husband is my hero, I don’t know what I would do without him!

My hero is my grandma. She was a great lady who worked hard at home supporting her farmer husband and 2 kids. She was great to us grandkids we came along and we never wanted for anything. But most of all she showed us how to love and how important God is in our lives.

My hero is my grandma. She did not know how to write and never been to school. My grandpa passed away at a very young age and she worked at a lot of different jobs to raise her children. She always put her family first. Even though she has gone through a lot of tough time, she has never given up. She had strokes 3 times but with she works very hard in doing therapy so that her hands can move again and she can speaks again. She’s always my hero!

each day ,works full time and never
complains about her aches and pains.
She is truly a role model and I love
her dearly!
I’d have to say my hero is David Hasselhoff (A.K.A. The Hoff). That man is a multi-millionaire with worldwide fame without an ounce of talent. He’s a true inspiration to every no-talent hack around the world…
My hero is my baby boy! I’m not sure what I would do without him! (When I was a kid it was Wonder Woman!)
My hero is my wife. 29 years of marraige, 3 boys, some pretty hard times, and still she is the most caring, loving person I know. Not to mention she still drives me wild!

My hero is my son. He fills my heart.
My hero is my grandfather. Growing up he was always there for me and my family. He worked hard ever since high school to help his family and became an electrician and eventually ran his own business. He worked harder than anybody I ever knew and was proud of it. He always did things himself and somehow seemed to know how to do everything and taught me so much growing up.

My hero is Kiefer Sutherland for being a hero every 24 hours in 24.
My hero was my Mother. She took care of 2 young boys after my father died when I was young.
All soldiers around the globe who are fighting to protect the freedom of America.
My Dad is my Hero
He always taught me good values like always help others and do not expect back.
Even though he’s not a real person my hero is Harry Potter. How he managed to stay brave and fight for the good of the wizarding world despite all of the bad press he received and the tragic things that happened to him encourages me to do the same.
No question, my Dad. My father is such a wonderful, giving person. He has always been the one to lend a hand if someone needed it. He’s the one that others go to for advice. He’s the one that takes charge and gets things done. In addition, over the past few years, I even became more inspired by him and the way he cared for my sick mother for a number of years, until she recently passed. He is really an inspiration and my hero.
Thanks so much.

Paul Watson who tries to save those Beautiful Whales!
My hero is Kevin Hart.
My hero is my mom, she works several jobs in order to take care of us.
It has to be my mom. She raised my sister and I by herself. She worked full-time and went to college at night to get her degree and after working for others, finally opened her own business 15 years ago. Despite all that, she managed to be the best mom to my sister and I; there was always time for both of us.

My mom is my hero. 8 kids, 6 of whom are boys. My sister and I debate which came first: Is mom crazy because she had 8 kids or was she already crazy and that’s WHY she had 8 kids? No matter, seeing as how we’re #s 6 and 7 we’re grateful she kept going.

My hero is any person that puts in a hard days work for a not enough wage and doesn’t bitch about it. My hero is a person that actually gets themselves off unemployment before their benefits expire. My hero is anyone that puts forth an effort at living their lives under their own power. My hero is not a politician even if the above applies to them.
My hero(s) are my parents. They have always been there for me no matter what. I love them very much!

My neighbor is my hero. When she saw that her husband treated her babies horribly, she divorced him. When her daughters were having their lunch money stolen every day at knife=point in LA Public schools, she moved her business across the company so they’d be in better schools. Her girls are grown now, but they still call her just to chat every day. She has her own business and can always tell you where to buy anything, as well as knowing all the doctors and can tell you which ones are better than others!
I am a lucky girl and my hero is my son who is honest and hardworking. Who’s word is worth something.

Twelve years later he battle another cancer (multiple myeloma) and this time cancer won.

My hero would have to be my mom. She sacrificed her career as a nurse to stay at home to raise me and my sister but returned to college in her 40s and fulfilled her dream – which is to devote her life to others. Her kindness and compassion are qualities I always try, but never fully succeed, to emulate. Thanks!

my mother is my hero!
My hero is my daughter. And she knows why. Truly a remarkable young, strong woman. Could not be prouder of her.
My Mom is my hero. She is always happy and is always there for us when we need her. More people should be like her.
My Mom is my hero. Always on my side, always available, always supportive.
I don’t have just one hero, I have several. My dad was a young farm boy, never far away from home and was drafted into WWII. He would never talk about his experiences there. My mom never worked outside the home but lived on her own for 24 years after my father’s death. My daughter worked a full time job, had 3 children at home and went to school to become an RN. I admire them all.
My hero was my father…now, he wasn’t the best dad ever but when he got cancer he fought it bravely for nearly 7 years before it took him down and because of this hopefully someone else will be saved in the future….

My hero is my hubbys Grandfather. I never had a dad and he took me in and was so accetping of me. I married my hubby and his family didn’t like me all except Gramps. He was awesome. He showed me love and my children. It was hard enough moving to another country with my children and worrying about how things would work out but thanks to Gramps I felt welcomed. He welcomed me and my children and anyone who has ever been in this situation knows that we don’t care if people don’t accept us but when it comes to our children that is different. I miss Gramps he blessed my families lives for 10 years. Good luck everyone
