a difference in others' life. Make-A-Wish Foundation, a worldwide non-profit organization, is absolutely the hero of those kids who suffer life-threatening medical conditions. "We grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. What makes each wish even more remarkable is the power to enrich so many others' lives from friends, volunteers and donors to sponsors and even entire communities." said David Williams, the President of MAW Foundation of America. It's mournful to see those young kids end in a suffering, unromantic life without enjoying their wonderful experience. However, thanks to MAW Foundation and the donations from the whole communities, the wishes granted has a deep, life-affirming impact on the wish children and families, creating the hope, strength, and joy so greatly needed for them. To be a one-day actor, to go to Hawaii, to meet Bill Gates, whatever, makes a distinct difference in the children's life. They have experienced what they wish, among which even we may not have the chance to experience. They all become special even though they have a shorter life, and they would surely remember their heroes forever, MAW Foundation and millions donors who are concerning them.

Almost all heroes are on the basis of dedicating himself to others with an unconditional love and making a difference in others' life. Both qualities make a hero great. "What Makes a Hero" (2008) also has the same idea as mine: Whoever the heroes are, they all have a full-love heart and their courage helps them to make a difference. Therefore, a great hero does not necessarily have a great name or great reputation. Anyone of us, with our love and contributions, making a difference in the life of people around us, will be a great and heroic person.
