Hey Pandas! Who Is Your Hero And Why? (Closed)

My hero is my stepdad. He's given me so much moral support I didn't even know I needed. He's been by my side ever since he came into it, and I'm so glad he did. I honestly don't know where I would be today if it weren't for him, and I should really should tell him that more often. :)

J.K Rowling. She shows what an independent woman can accomplish. She was richer than the Queen of England but donated most of her money. She had tough times but she never gave up.

The late Elliot Richardson. He stood up to Nixon when ordered to fire Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox. He served with honor in many federal agencies. He was an Army Medic in World War II. And he said this: "I am a moderate – a radical moderate. I believe profoundly in the ultimate value of human dignity and equality. I therefore believe as well in such essential contributions to these ends as fairness, tolerance, and mutual respect. In seeking to be fair, tolerant, and respectful I need to call upon all the empathy, understanding, rationality, skepticism, balance, and objectivity I can muster."

Atatürk. I have no connection whatsoever with Turkey, I've never even been there; but I find it amazing the way he has modernised his country, imposed democracy, secularism, literacy, and women's right to vote. A great person.

I have several heroes. My primary school teacher Mrs Sage who was always kind to me - when you're young (around 8 - 9 years old and) fat, the world is horrible and still is. RuPaul - the Queen of drag who showed me it's more than okay to be you, whatever you do or look like. Matthew Shepard's family (hopefully I've got that right, the young man from a small town in USA who was tortured and left to die) who keep going and showing such dignity in spite of the horror of their son's death - as well as other families of young people killed just because of their sexuality/looks. And so many of the LGBTQ who keep their dignity and heads up in spite of the disgusting attacks - physical, emotional and otherwise - they suffer.

my heros are my older sisters, one of them is seven years older than me and is living with her boyfriend and the other one has a husband and three sons. my sister lillian (the one thats seven years apart from me) has taught me many thing shes taught me that i can deal with breakups and can fight my mental illnesses, even though we barely related because of the age difference i feel like we could each learn something from one another. my other sister alex, we barely ever hang out but i have learned somethings from her ive learned a little confidence and a little love. i know we dont hang out much because she has a famly of her own but one day soon im going to ask her if we can hang out. lillian gives the best hugs even though she doesnt like to hug anyone much but her boyfriend, and alex gives the best love, they both give the best advice. i love them and i know they love me, and im glad the didnt shut me out much my entire life. i want to thank them for teaching me so much and i want them to know i love them.

i also want to thank my science and social studies teachers for seventh grade (im not going to put their names for privacy reasons) they have been there for me from the begining of seventh grade and they are the only teachers i feel comfortable talking to about my life, every time something new happens wether its sad or happy i tell them, i thank them for listening to me. and i love them

Maxmilian Kolbe.

My hero is my son. In the span of four days her went from being perfectly healthy to on ventilator life support and given a 10% chance of survival. An undiagnosed autoimmune disease attacked his lungs and destroyed his kidneys. He fought with everything he had to survive a coma, chemotherapy and a kidney transplant. It doesn't matter if anyone ever reads this. He is my hero and makes me proud to be his Mom.
