Not to derail the derailing (hee) but I think this is a good question.

I would say one of my heroes is a cab driver I met this weekend. He is has purchased over 10 000 English children's books, 1000 English children's movies, and is sending them to his home village in Pakistan. He is creating an English library for the poor people in his village so they have an opportunity to learn English. In his home, there is a division in the quality of education between the rich children and the poor.

He has also rescued and repaired 35 computers from the curbsides of our city, and fixed them himself to send home.

I am actually looking into library software for him and have volunteered to catalogue his collection for him.

To me that is a true hero. Someone who goes above and beyond for no other reason than they care about other people and their quality of life. I love everyday heroes who fight to bring social equality to the social order. To me that is heroism.
