Everyone has a hero. Sometimes they just do not know it.  For some, their hero is a character from a cartoon or comic, for others, their hero is an idea, or thought, of what a hero should be, and for still others, their hero is a person or animal in the real world. My hero is special. Incredible. Amazing. My hero endures pain beyond belief with every single movement, every day, all day. My hero has spent their life raising a family very successfully, and would do anything for that family. They have touched so many lives, and changed those lives for the better, that I cannot even begin to count them all. My hero has quietly done so much for their community and city, yet seek no reward other then to see smiling faces. Some heroes you can only see on paper or on a television screen, some you cannot see at all, and those that you can see and touch, you may only ever see once or twice. I am lucky, for, you see, I get to see my hero every day. My hero, is my Dad.  I look up to him now, nearing my twenty-first year of life, as much as i did when I was a small child, probably more now.  Every good thing I do, I do with the thought of making him proud, and when he says those words, when he tells me he is proud of me, I am happier then I can say.  And even though I know he is proud, I still try to make him as proud to have me as his son, as I am to have him as a father.

Dad, you are the strength that keeps me alive every day. It is because of you that I still resist and fight the difficulties that are piled upon me more and more as time crawls by. I could never have become who I am today without you. Your efforts gave everyone the patience to take the extra step with me, when I had gone beyond their endurance. I would never have been able to write more then a single sentence were it not for you. Without you, I would have given up on so many things, except that I saw you, and saw how determined to keep going on you were, and are, every day, and I could not let myself dissapoint you by giving in. Because of you, I learnt so many thinngs. Because of you, I am so much of a better person then anyone thought I would be, and all this time, I've always just wanted one thing; to be just like my hero, to be just like you.
Read and find out. Maybe after you do, tell who your hero is.
