Your Everyday Hero: Steven S.

Steven is not only my husband; he is also my hero. He grew up in Los Angeles. Steven was a kid who got into a lot of fights and sometimes into a lot of trouble. Yet, he graduated high school and became an auto body mechanic. Not feeling satisfied as an auto body mechanic, he taught himself to work as a Jaguar mechanic. Still, feeling as if he wanted more, he then studied at home, day and night to become a real estate agent. Steven is today, one of the hardest working agents in Los Angeles. He works seven days a week, 10 hours a day. Yet he finds the time to come home and play baseball with his son, and to bike ride with his daughter. Steven always walks his dog at night, and helps his wife out with the household chores. He does this day in and day out, and he rarely takes time for himself. Steven is the kind of man who will help an old lady across the street; pick up a stray dog off the road and find it a home; and give a helping hand to anyone who needs it. He has a strong work ethic and a soft heart. For these reasons, he is my hero.
