We all have heroes within us we just have to care enough to bring them out! You don't have to save a dying person or kill a criminal, doing small things make big impacts.

That's an amazing reflection Carter. Thank you so much. I think it is the little act shared consistently that not only helps others but also enriches our own lives so greatly.

Thanks for this beautiful piece. We all have heros around us. They should be acknowledged and motivate us to be a hero ourselves.

There are many hero’s doing the smallest of acts everyday no one sees. Thank you for reminding us.

We are so fortunate to have heroes in our lives and to also reflect on all those we don't even realize. How much better they (we) make the world by stepping up. Do you have any favorites?

We all have a hero within us and many around us. We just need to stop and listen with our hearts. M is definitely an up stander! You taught him well.
