I"m not sure where to post this so I'll post it here; feel free to move it if it belongs elsewhere.

I'm watching a young people's concert by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra on TV, because when I was a schoolgirl we used to go to their concerts and I was glad to see they're still doing them. The conductor just started talking about heroes, and how not all heroes lived long ago or far away. He said that a local 7-year-old boy said that one of his heroes is Adam Duvall, who plays baseball with the Atlanta Braves (Major League baseball team in the National League). Adam is the boy's hero because he has T1 diabetes and so does the boy, who said, "When I watch him play, I know that I could do that someday too."
 
Heros and inspiration can come in all sizes and ages
