Create your way to Sanity!

Recently on Squidoo there has been a contest of building a lens for your Super Hero.  In looking at the entrants to this contest there are so many heroes featured who truly have made a difference in our world. At what age do we start seeing heroes as those who have truly done something so special with their lives? Most children when asked to name their hero would normally list fictional characters as their heroes.  When do we start to see Helen Keller, Tim Russert, Amy Jaffe Barzach, Sue Byrnes, and so many more as heroes?  Many of us read about Helen Keller in school but the others are more recent people who have done so much for others.  Tim Russert has a public figure and very well known on television, Amy Jaffe Barzach has recently been written about in some woman’s magazines about her Boundless Playgrounds Project, and Sue Byrnes has a niche of worshippers who have a rare dicease called LAM and she has given them hope.  A hero can be so many different people from so many walks of life but all inspire others to make a difference.  Then there are those special people like Christopher Reeve who hit in both the fictional world and the real life world.  He played a super hero in Superman but was so much more as he gave so much to this world after he had a tragic accident.

Super Heroes are those people who are the real life heros to all ages.  Heroes are the ones that children see in there innocent eyes as someone spectacular.  We just hope there is a balance and the child can have an inspirational hero as they set their sights on higher achievements.
