Someone must also admire them. After all, you can do many great things, but never be someone's hero because you are not admired by anyone. Teachers may be admired for how well they have educated, and they are typically admired by students. Teachers may also be admired for staying calm with a rowdy class to deal with. Parents may be admired for working, yet still having plenty of time for their children.
Parents can sometimes admire their children.
For example, if their child has a disease such as cancer or diabetes they may admire their child for how well they are taking their treatment. No matter who an Everyday Hero is, they are still heroes, and their countless labors have helped make this world a better place for all of us.
