When we think of heroes, we often times think of the kind with “super” in front of it. Superheroes. We don’t really think about the everyday individuals who are heroes in their own respect. In the same way, we tend to have this same thinking concept when we think about successful individuals: Steven King, Beyonce’ & Warren Buffet. These are all individuals, among others, that may come to mind. We think of the people who are often in the spotlight, or frequently discussed on news stations or blog posts.
