Mr. Rogers was a wise man.

"We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say, 'It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.' Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes." -Mr. Rogers

Amen to that!

I think there are two people in my life that exemplify the concept of giving to those in need and have raised me to have compassion toward those in need. As cliche as it may be, those people are my parents. They are my heroes by setting an example for me. Though I may not always follow their exact path, what I've been taught will always influence who I am today.  I love you both so very much.
