Heroes

The last few days I have felt like a superhero. I don't know why, but I guess I have realized that I can be a hero to my students, and to some, I already am. We don't really think about how many lives we influence each day for the good or the bad. My children come from backgrounds and places I can never imagine. I was raised in a loving home with all of the food, clothes, and anything else I would have ever needed. I had stability, responsibility, and guidance. Many of my students don't have that. They just want to be loved...and they will get that love from something or somewhere...why not from postive places and people? To me, a hero can be anybody who is willing to make a sacrifice in order to better someone else's life- no matter what the cost. Heroes don't have to be extraordinary people; they are ordinary people who do extraordinary things. Thanks to some of the heroes in our world goes to those who selflessly serve in the military and other agencies that protect our country's freedom and rights.Who can you be a hero to? Figure it out? Quick! Strap on your cape and go! Make a difference!
