Often, the most profound heroes in our lives are the family and friends we interact with every day.
For students who chose family heroes, they have gained a deeper relationship with family and a greater appreciation for the sacrifices that so many have made for them. The hero interviews open a door for family members to share with each other. This is always a highlight of the projects for a teacher to have the honor of witnessing.
Students who chose heroes outside of their personal circle found inspiration in how people they respect have changed the world.
In a world so quickly changing, we find a solid foundation to build on in the heroes that guide and inspire us.
