Dear Hero's,

Thank-you. I don’t know how else to say it, though the words may be simple I promise you there is so much contained in them that it would take forever to get through it all. Behind that thank-you is all the love, admiration, and awe that I feel every time that I think of any of you. You are my hero’s and completely oblivious to the amount of impact you have had on my life. People are lucky to have a single hero in their regular lives let alone six of them. In the six of you there is so much compassion, love, strength, intelligence, determination, and humbleness that it makes me want to be the best of the best as a human being.

In a daydreaming society that has become addicted to technology and uninterested in life you are my motivating factors. You make me want to become something great before I leave this world. All of you have become or are becoming the most amazing human beings. I look up to all of you, even the few that are younger than me. Again, I say thank-you to you all. Being yourselves is the best thing that has ever happened to my life.

To the one that decided that my life outweighed her relationship with him. You are a pillar in my life and the one that is always there for me no matter how bad I mess up . You make me feel like I can do anything I put my mind to. It doesn’t matter what it is that I take on, you always think it is the most amazing accomplishment to date. I don’t think you know the value of the words and encouragement that you have given me my entire life. Having someone talk about you like you are the best at everything you touch is honestly an overwhelming feeling that fills my heart to the brim. Thank-you for being an everyday hero.

To the one that didn’t need to be there, but always was. You have no idea how much I am like you, even if the blood line is not there. no matter how tired you were, you took time with us, teaching us. The only thing that erases being tossed aside by the person who is supposed to love you is being picked up by the loving hands of someone who chose to be your guiding light when they didn't have to be. You are one of the major reasons that I am a kind, loving, hard-working person. You have more strength then you know. Thank-you for being an everyday hero.

To the bitchy one who puts her family above all else. Since I had to grow up in someone’s shadow, I’m glad that it was yours. The younger days may have been tough with us living different lives in different worlds as different people, but I wouldn’t trade them in for anything else. We have become the best of friends and long to hang out all the time in our adult lives (even if life hardly lets us). You take care of everyone in your life and they are all better people for it. I love and admire you (even without the pact haha). Thank-you for being an everyday hero.

To the little one who came later. You have grown to be an amazing man who stands behind his religion with pride. Your belief structure gives me the strength to stand behind my beliefs. The courage that you have shown in your life, for your country and through some hard mental times has given courage to me in mine. I hope that the new adventure you are on with your new wife is the best one yet. Thank-you for being an everyday hero.

To the loud one with a stubborn attitude. You are the best thing I have ever had a hand in creating in my life. Even though you are young I am amazed at your compassion for the earth, the people, and the animals that inhabit it. From the elder bugs that you protect in our home to the garbage that you pick up on your school breaks, you make me prouder everyday. To get a call from your school because they were rewarding you with a humanitarian award was almost to much pride to handle. I can’t wait to see what you do in your life and who you become. Thank-you for being an everyday hero. P.S. Sorry I could only find Todoroki for your photo there was no Izuku haha.

To the one I think about you every time I think about being the fat kid, I am still the fat kid, but apparently, they consider me an adult now (debatable). I am trying to get on the right track and all I can think about is that you have met that struggle head on twice now. You made me think that I am worth more then I thought I could be. You don’t know this, but you made me ugly cry about it. I started to think that maybe there was more out there for me. I started to think about myself and what I needed. I finally started to push back against the one that keeps me down and repair my mental health. I started to seek out help outside of my circle to improve my life. Thank-you for being an everyday hero.

Thank-you for being the everyday hero’s that I am so lucky to be personally connected to. You have no idea what you accomplish everyday just by being yourselves. There are extraordinary people in this world, I hope you see that you fit on that list. You have saved my life and mental health so many times that I shudder to think about where I would have ended up without your influence. I am so happy that you came into my life professionally and personally. There is not enough time or money to repay you for what you have done for me, but I will spend the rest of my life trying. For now, I am praying for you to have all the happiness and prosperity that you want in life and that you will see the worth that you instill in everyone else.
