Tonight, I get to go to a supper event where one of my heroes will be at, Coach Ron Polk. I am VERY, VERY excited!!!! Anytime I get to listen to somebody who I admire or somebody who I think is a hero my day is made. So, what makes a hero? Well for me, I look at the character of the person, their contributions to their field, and their contributions to the community.
