A hero is a person who inspires people and/or has impacted someone's life.

It is not important to have a hero, because you can believe in yourself if you try hard enough.

I would choose my mom as my hero. She was willing to go to Russia to get me. I lived in a very bad environment and was put up for adoption. If my mom didn't get me from Russia I would've died. My mom has impacted my life.

I would want my mom to enroll in the hero hall of fame. She saved my life in Russia. My mom is a very nice person and has impacted my  life. She's also a caring mother who would go beyond her limits for her kids. I love my mom because she saved me.

INTERVIEW:

Who is your hero and why?

My daddy. He lives life on his terms and he taught me to do the same.

What type of person is your hero?
He is an opinionated, strong, funny, and passionate person.

Why do you think people need a hero?
I don't think people need "heroes" as much as they need people who bring out the best in humanity and demonstrate the best in humanity.

Why do you respect this person?
Because I've seen the difficulties that he has had to overcome and the honor with which he has done so.

What do you think a hero is?
A hero exemplifies the best in people. He doesn't set out for fame or glory. He just does what's right even when that's the hardest thing to do.

If this hero never existed how would you feel?
Very sad because I'd be daddy-less. And he shaped who I am. I'd be a different person.

If you didn't have a hero would you feel any different?
There are always people in the world who demonstrate the right thing. Some of them are famous, some of them are rich, some of them are powerful, and some of them are the guy next door.

Do you like your hero?
I love my hero very much. And I like him as well. If he weren't my dad I'd choose him as my friend.

Do you think they've done the best they can?
We're all human, we all make mistakes. The best any of us can ask for ourselves is to do our personal best. I believe he has.
