Do you need to have a certain level of education, or do you need a large bank account, or must you be of a certain age or race or religion or ethnicity to be a hero? Do you have to be a man to be a hero? That might seem like an odd question, but think about it for a moment. Who do you consider your own heroes? Do they have anything in common?
I have found over the years that those who inspire me are all different. Their age or sex or gender identity or wealth or life experience can all be different. In real life, heroes don't wear capes. In real life heroes aren't always men and they don't need to be a certain height or of a certain race. In real life heroes don't necessarily even get much attention. Being a hero isn't so much about who they are, but what they do.
Just about all of the people I consider heroes, are ordinary folks. So what does that mean? Who can be a hero? Ordinary folks like you and me. Every single one of us can he a hero!
