I've saved this for a long time, I don't remember where it came from.
To all my female heroes out there, homage to you all:
"Does a hero know she's a hero if no one tells her? Do you know a hero no one else knows? A hero doesn't have to save a busload of school kids from certain disaster. Or score the winning point in the big game. A hero can be anyone who inspires you, anyone you look up to, anyone who cheers you on, makes you better than you were before-just as they made themselves better than they were before. Do you know a hero? Tell her. Then tell everyone."
