His doctors called the type of heart attack he had a “widow maker.” Very few people survive this type of heart attack. Carew did and now is doing everything he can to promote organ donation and good heart health. Through reading about his experience, I found out how truly religious Rod Carew is. Carew was stated as saying, “I prayed before every game that I played. I prayed a prayer of thanks after every game I played. I pray because I know God is always with me.” He has faith. Learning this made me respect him even more than I did before. Carew is also willing to put his fate…

A hero can be classified by many things. A hero can be superman, a police officer, and even your mom, but what makes a hero? Is it someone who can fly or shoot laser beams from their eyes or someone who saves a baby from a burning building? I’ll admit some of these characteristics are far-fetched since I don’t know anyone who can fly or randomly saves babies on a normal day. All heroes, including super ones, all have something in common, they're admired for their courage or an outstanding thing…
