Do you know what a hero is? A hero is a person of distinguished courage or ability. A person admired for brave deeds and noble qualities…a role model, an ideal.” A hero has integrity, compassion, likes helping those in need, has moral courage and likes doing what they know is right. There are heroes all around you. Firemen, teachers, nurses, parents, neighbors…in fact, you might be a hero.
Clay has said in the past that it is important for him to make a difference in the world. He is aware of how his celebrity makes him a role model. When he was asked who his role models were, he has given a few names. Sen. Tom Harkin, Pres. Jimmy Carter, Mr. Rogers and his mom Faye Parker are some we are highlighting. This section is dedicated to heroes...its a place where you can read about the lives of ordinary people who did extraordinary things. I bet you will see what makes them a hero to Clay.
We would also like to hear from you...and who you consider to be your hero. If you want to tell us about the person you look up to the most and what makes them admirable, just email us and we may feature your hero in our hero page.
