about my interview
Imagine if you had cancer. My aunt Cara had been a typical healthy person. One day that changed. Cara became diagnosed with breast cancer. Except that didn't dampen her optimistic attitude. She fought off breast cancer with a positive attitude. Listen to this interview and see how Cara coped with cancer, fought it off, and remained so strong.
The word "hero" doesn't have just one definition. Whats yours? This is mine.
My definition
When one hears the word hero the first idea that comes to mind is a superhero in a cape flying to save people from a villain. Although many think of a hero as someone with powers and a cape, it actually means much more than that. A hero doesn't have to be someone in a cape, does it? Actually a hero can be just an ordinary person. A hero is a person that you look up to because they can preserver through any problems that come their way and inspire others through their actions.
