Hero

   We all have people we look up to. Someone with good traits who's done admirable things. From the average guy whose work you follow to the renowned visionary who changed everything. Here is a list of my heroes, television personalities edition.


Mike Holmes- Anyone who cares enough to help people with home renovations not done properly is awesome. That's exactly what he does on his show Holmes on Homes on HGTV. Sure it's his business but it seems like he cares about making the homeowner happy and not solely for the money. He is very smart and a hard worker. I wouldn't be taking on those long and difficult jobs as he and his crew does. Also he's from Canada so that makes him even cooler in my eyes.

Jim Cantore- I've always enjoyed learning about weather. I also get very excited about storms! Jim Cantore is a pro and veteran meteorologist always out there reporting severe weather. He stands fighting in the 80MPH wind and horizontal rain of hurricanes.  I admire what he does and I'd love to be out there too.

LeVar Burton - I watched Reading Rainbow as a kid and even remember borrowing a VHS of my favorite episode from the library. He encouraged kids to gain knowledge through reading. The things talked about on the show are still valuable today. Just think of how loved you would feel if you were with he and Mr. Rogers at the same time.

Les Stroud - When my 8th grade English class had to write an essay about your hero, I wrote about Les Stroud.  The show Survivor Man gripped my attention. As his website describes the premise of the show "No food, no shelter, no fresh water, no tools...no camera crew. One man- alone in the wilderness for seven days." He survived in extreme situations when it seemed impossible to. It showed how resourceful you can be when you have practical knowledge.  Bear Grylls tried to do the same thing but Les did it in a serious way without being showy.
