My obvious earthly hero would be my mother, Saintalia Lozama. Today she is 70+ years young! She is a pioneer, becoming the first person -not just woman- in her small town in Haiti to learn to ride a motorcycle. She was a teacher, a missionary, directed plays, had her own radio show (whose influence remains today), a nurse. I could cite any or all of these reasons as to why she would be my hero – but it is her faith and resilience that makes her my number one. I love you and cherish the legacy of faith and perseverance you have left for us. Thank you!! Happy Birthday!!

Definitely Helen Keller. The reason is because, before she existed, what she did would have been considered impossible. And then she was born blind and deaf, into a family that didn’t know how to help her…and she became a famous inspirational author and speaker. I think anyone who does the impossible progresses the human race because the only limits we have are the ones we impose on ourselves. Now no one can say what she did is impossible for someone else to do, because she has already done it. She is absolutely my hero.
