My Thoughts On: Heroes

When I was younger, I was an avid swimmer. 
On the school swimming team, swimming in a club and in events every/every other weekend. 

At the swimming club I went to, there was a Women in her early 20's I guess with Down's Syndrome. 
She would swim in Gala's against "Normal" able-bodied swimmers.
Every-time she would come last and at least 20 seconds or possibly longer after the other swimmers.

But it didn't matter how much longer she came after everyone else, 
because the next week she would be back there again.

To me, that is someone who is a hero.
