Yes, but also because he was a young man who was able to overcome a handicap and turn it into something great. My heros are people like that. People like Scott Hamilton and Wilma Rudolph, who overcame terrible childhood illnesses to become Olympic champions. People who fight city hall, because sometimes city hall is wrong. Rosa Parks is a good example. People who give their talents to help other people, like Jimmy Carter, Paul Newman, Morris Dees, and Dolly Parton.

Ooops, i have to interfer with this one...
You should be carefull with that last sentence: "...because they have not done great things and they want me to rise above them"

For me it sounds like the most evil person of this century is a hero too (you know who i mean...) cos he didnt do *great things* and its easy to rise above his deeds... I know what you mean of course, but it sounds weird in my ears...

For me a hero is someone who did something noble, human-liking, someone who made someone else or a whole group look and feel better through his own deeds.

So... my girl is a hero too! (heroin) Cos she makes me feel better!
