Everyday hero

There’s this one show on Playhouse Disney that I love. It’s called Higglytown heroes. The show features one hero in Higglytown per day. No, not your over-the-top, schoolbook hero, but everyday heroes such as the police officer, the mail carrier, the town dentist, the restaurant chef, and many more others who seem like just regular people in the neighborhood but are considered heroes.

I like the show because it emphasizes that someone who contributes to the community is a hero, even the bus driver who picks up a stranded group of baseball fans, that nurse who changes the adult diapers of your grandpa, the pizza guy who delivers your pizza when there is nothing else to eat, or the street cleaner who sweeps the confetti after a street celebration. The show instills a great appreciation of the seemingly “regular” people.

Much more than that, the show also imparts that anyone can be a hero. Yes, even the small kids who watch the show. They can do these in small things like throwing their trash properly, befriending that new kid in school, or brushing their teeth!

Great huh! Now, go out and be a hero!
