I don't have any heroes in my life, people I admire yes, some one I idolize yes if she's hot, but if I had to say one hero it would be myself. I had a shitty ass childhood, suffered from depression and somehow I pulled thru.
I don't have heroes....nor do I want heroes. That, for me, indicates worship. People are just people, and all are imperfect creatures. I may admire certain aspects about a person, and I may try to emulate those in myself, but at the end of the day I still want to be my own person.
I dislike worship, or unquestioning loyalty. It's why I am thankful for the job done by men and women in uniform - but they are just people doing their job - they are not heroes.
I am of the opinion, that no one is above having to earn your respect - even your family - and especially your parents. They don't get a pass just because they had sex, and approximately 9 months later you were born. If they don't live up to the ideals they are trying to hold you to, it's hard to respect them. Doesn't mean you can't still love them, but love and respect are two different things.
All of this is to say - no I don't have heroes, nor do I have any want for them. I like people, and I like to treat everyone like they are just a person. It is why I don't get starstruck.
