Who Is Your Hero?

Do you have a personal hero? Tell us about them. It doesn’t have to be perfect to make a difference in someone else’s life.

Your Everyday Hero: Cynthia W.

My hero is my mother and pastor. She is one of the greatest people, I think, to ever live. She is the best listener in the world. She lives and breathes to make sure I am a success for my kids. She always listens to all of my problems and gives me the best advice even if I don't agree. She is not biased. She is an inspiration to me. She was a single mom who fought to give my sister and me a better life. She kept us in church and allowed us to live our own life under her direction. Though we did not come out perfect, she loves us anyway I dedicate my dreams to her. When I finish college after I had dropped out and had kids, I'm going to show her I was listening. I might have steered away, but I remembered her love through all and her love put me back on track!
