Today, I discussed with my parents what this project was about and possible people I could do my project on. We came up with a small list of people I could research but none of them really struck my intrest.

At lunch, my friends and I talked about the difference between a hero and just a role model. A role model is more of just someone who you look up to and wish to be like even though they might not have actually done anything heroic but a hero is someone who has sacrificed some aspect of their life to help someone in need.
