I can't think of anyone that influences me so profoundly that I would call them my hero. Hero can mean someone you love who takes care of you. Matt is my hero...he rescues me all the time. Becky is my hero...she never leaves me. My dad...he still looks after me, and always will. My bro...he makes me strong.
