Who are the unsung heroes in your community?

Success is achievable without public recognition, and the world has many unsung heroes (Michael DeBakey, M.D. in Success Secrets of Super Achievers by Stovall).

This past Saturday I participated in the 18th Annual Dia de la Mujer (Day of the Woman) Conference, with 600 in attendance, at the Kellogg Center. One of the highlights was the recognition of an unsung heroine. She was not a mayor or business leader or a Wall Street wizard. She was someone who in modest ways acted on her belief of the power of education. She did something to instill and keep alive in youth the value of an education.

Who are some of the unsung heroes in the diverse groups in your community who in modest ways support and invest in young children? Look around you for those unnoticed, unsung heroes of the present.
