Ordinary yet Extraordinary
My Mom. My Hero.
By Lisa Ziehrock
When I asked around “What is a hero and what makes a hero?”
One friend said, “When I think of a hero, I think of somebody like Superman and Batman, who generally go above and beyond in terms of the call of duty, they do things that are extraordinary.”
Another friend answered, “... people who have the power to influence or help a lot of others or have been modeled or raised to have those values.”
When I answer the question myself, I would say, “A hero is someone who we look up to, and we know that we try our best to be like.” And here, I would love to name my mom!
