Who's your hero and why?

Here's what people in London said:

I think maybe Antonia Fraser. She's an author and she writes
really excellent biographies, so I guess she's a hero 'cos I look up
to her.

I would say my mother because she's been through so much and
she taught me that nothing’s impossible if you really believe that
what you want and what you have to do to overcome all the
difficulties.

What qualities do you think a hero should have?
Needs to be a good role model to, like, the youth. I think that’s the
most important thing.

I think they shouldn't care what other people think. I think they
should have their own views. I think that's the important thing of
all heroes.

Now tell us who your heroes are!
