* Who is your personal hero and why? " 'A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles,' said Christopher Reeve. My personal hero would be my sister, Stacy. Stacy was my best friend growing up, and I could always count on her for anything I needed. Stacy has taught me to live life to the fullest and to always do your best. I am grateful that Stacy has played an essential part of creating the person I am today."
