While taking a walk through a local park, myself and my friends were intercepted by an older man on a scooter. He greeted us like old friends and jumped straight into friendly conversation.
To him, it was probably an average day. He seemed like the kind of guy who could strike up a conversation with absolutely anyone. To us, it meant a lot more than that.
Being on a college campus has its drawbacks, one of them being the lack of diversity in age.
Needless to say, in my eyes this man was an everyday hero. He took time to reach out to a group of college kids and talk for a few minutes. He shared insight and wisdom from his life, funny stories, tips for feeding the squirrels, and a bit of advice.
Everyday heroes don't worry about only themselves, they reach out to those around them.
