Dia Catorce~ A Hero Who Has Let Me Down

I cannot say that I've had a hero.


When I was younger...I thought the sun rose and set on Whitney Houston's ass. Her voice was phenomenal and I learned all of her songs by heart and hit every not she did. When she began her downward spiral into drugs and public humiliation...I didn't feel "let down"...I felt badly for her and prayed.


I've never put stock into one human being like that. I can't call it...but, for me the heroes of the world were the teachers and such. To that end, my teacher Mrs. Brown, who taught me in 5th & 6th grade (it was a Gifted Program [Intermediate Humanities as it was called] that I stayed in for two years) ...MIGHT be considered my hero at one time or another. Still, I can recall no one who I lauded in a heroic way and then felt let down by.


Maybe I'm lucky in that way...*shrugs*
