* Who is your personal hero and why?
"My personal hero is my dad! He has always been there to dust my shoulder off and push me into the next obstacle. He reminds me all the time how we're alike, we're both stubborn and hardheaded. My dad is tough as nails, but beneath his horns he is the most caring person I've ever known. He gives selflessly to the people he cares for. I'm lucky to have a father like him. With everything my family has been through, we have been so blessed. Thanks to my dad I view life from a more grateful perspective. I love ya dad!"
