Your Everyday Hero: Brendan C.

My younger brother is only 13 years old, and he's already one of my biggest heroes. He's the kind of kid who will drop anything to help you out. Whether it's babysitting for one of our little cousins for no pay when he knows he would rather be at the skate park with his friends, or even helping my mother out for months when she broke her leg. He is so kind, generous, and helpful. He even got into trouble one time with my mother because he tried to give a donation to the police department in our area, but in doing so, he was getting rid of every penny he had. I know that he will be brilliant no matter what he does in life. I am so proud of him, and could only dream to be as talented and kind as he is. It really means something when a 19 year old sister looks up to her 13 year old brother!
