My students and I wonder if we can ever show our gratitude for all
your effort on making the learning circle possible.
In the past three months, they experienced much pressure in picking out
their own hero and in shaping him or her in a specific
manner so that the readers around the globe would identify with the hero.
Now the pressure has subtly transformed into pleasure
on the moment they read your response. Truly, we have had a marvelous
journey which will go on and on as my students grow. Best wishes

Thanks so much Barry, Wendy for the effort that you have done to help us all in the project all the past time. Though I had so many problems during the program that prevented me from catching up with everything in the my hero project but finally we could finish. Many thanks to all the participants who are sending us their updates.
Finally I hope to see and meet you all in the near future . Mustafa Kamel Abdel Baky Mohammed
Well one feels so grateful to be involved in this nice experience. Thank you for opening up the global gate to our tiny classroom. Africa is in dire need of such initiatives. Be sure that you were the incentives of young smiles.

The heroes on this page were chosen by leadership students who also view these individuals as leaders. Students were asked to consider qualities they believe a leader should possess and choose a hero based on these qualities. The individuals who were chosen represent heroes from many different domains. Their stories are truly inspiring. Katie Cain
We are a class of grade 10 students, ages 14-15, from Bathurst, New Brunswick, Canada. We are doing a theme unit in our English class, which answers the question, "What makes someone a hero?" We will be watching movies, reading fiction and non-fiction texts from all over the world to see what traits a hero should have. We will finish our unit with a research project on a Canadian Hero.
