Not all heroes wear capes. Some of them live among us and make a difference even without realizing it. But they deserve recognition for the impact they make. This is the opportunity to credit all the people who help us get through tough times, who motivate and inspire.
I want to know who inspires you and made a significant difference in your life! Please, share your stories below.

Honestly? My hero is myself. I've always been alone figuratively, even though I have 2 parents who love me, and 2 fun younger siblings. I have always been looking out for myself, teaching myself how to get through life successfully, and picking things up on the way. I've saved myself from killing myself (I know it sounds confusing), and I've always had my own back. I know this isn't like a lot of answers, but it's mine.

Johnny Depp- because he's gone through some stuff like I did, he makes everyone laugh and then hides how he's feeling and I feel so bad for him

My Best-Friend. She doesn't know it to its full extent, but she has given me so much stability and happiness over the year. I don't know where I would be without her.

My ballet teacher Ms. Kayla I'm only 12 but she has made such a difference in my life. She makes me want to do better, and BE better. She's just an amazing person that makes you push harder. And she cares about you in her own way. She's just amazing.

Lavender Towne on youtube she makes great videos and she's the reason I didn't give up drawing. It's my only good coping mechanism and I almost let it go. She inspires me...

RBG. As a Jewish kid growing up, it was hard to find Jewish role models. Everything she has worked through in her life inspires me and has helped me through some really tough things. RIP

My mom! She's the one who always nudges me in the right direction and loves me no matter what.

Leelah Alcorn. If you haven't heard of her, she was a trans teen who committed suicide about six years ago. Leelah didn't know it, but the note she left on her tumblr would go viral. She'd spark awareness for trans people everywhere. It's such a shame that she went so early, though. She was beautiful and had so much potential. Her story is so powerful and convinces me to keep going. That I'm not alone. Rest in power.

My next-door-neighbor. She has worked in charities for the disadvantaged for her entire career. She was director of an organization that built a new shelter for homeless veterans. She's taken endangered women into her home until she could find a place for them longer-term. She's also on the BOD for our local Meals on Wheels. You name it, she has been involved in it to help disadvantaged, endangered or homeless people. She's saved lives through her efforts, and she doesn't make much of a salary for it. Just one of those selfless people.

In addition to Leelah Alcorn, I'd like to give a shout out to Robin Williams. The way he could make someone smile, even though he was hurting so terribly, is just evidence as to what a great person he was. So yea. Leelah Alcorn and Robin Williams.

my hero would be my parents. they are doing what they can to help me get better and at first, I was scared because I thought they would be mad at me. but they are helping me and telling me that it is ok to be sad sometimes and that it is ok to ask for help, especially when it comes to depression and my sexuality. so thank you mom and dad

Billie Eilish and Halsey. Billie Eilish because her music is one of the reasons I stay here. And Halsey because we've been through similar things as teenagers.

Myself. I didn't have a positive role model growing up so I went to the school of hard knocks. I grew up relatively well and I am happy. It's me, my dog Zoe and the roof over our heads is mine. I need to nothing and am fulfilled with family and friends.

Twenty one pilots. I’ve talked about this before, but their music saved me. I used to be so suicidal I couldn’t use scissors. But they’ve been through the same thing. They write their music to help others into the light.
