We have heroes. We are inspired. We aspire to inspire.
Although we understand some of the built-in reservations connected with having a "hero," we at Olympus Jr. High School see the value in being able to identify individuals who inspire others. We have explored many individuals- from our families to those in history, athletes to celebrities- and have decided they are heroic. There are heroic traits these individuals have in common, and these are the traits we hope to build within ourselves .. then, one day, we will draw upon those traits to positively impact the world. These are our heroes.
