A hero to me also means someone who listens to you and gives you good feed back. They listen to all our problems without cutting you off, without withholding information, and most certaintly without lying to you. They give you great advice, and tells you what you need to hear not what you want to hear.

When someone takes up for you, stands up for your principles, stands by your side, and tells the other person off, thats a hero to me. They are courageous and shows no cowardly action.

Their your role model and can determine what kind of hero you will someday be to someone else.That is my kind of hero.
