My mother is my hero because she chose me. I am the only adopted child out of four children; all three of my siblings are my mother's biological children. So why me? You don't just adopt a child in 1965 with no story. Yet here I am—a part of the most wonderful family you could ever dream for.
My mother made me who I am, she taught me right from wrong, she stood proud no matter what silly thing I did. She is my biggest fan and loves me with such pride and joy that I am her hero too. God put this fiery red head right in the middle of a Sicilian family for that reason and I can't think of a more inspirational hero than my mom. She made me a second chance baby somehow. She needed me and I will never stop needing her. A hero is an earned honor and she earns it every moment of my life.

We've all had people in our lives who have made a positive impact on us. A parent or grandparent, a sibling who was there for us, or maybe even just a guy who shines shoes for a living? Whoever they are, tell us their story so they can inspire us even more.
