In response to the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Ashleigh and Kasey take this week to highlight a couple more of the most influential heroes in their lives.

SHOW NOTES

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

-On September 18th, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away. She was dedicated, eloquent, determined, and honest, among many other things. She leaves a legacy inspirational to so many people, including Ashleigh and Kasey.

Kasey’s Heroes

-Maya Angelou: A guiding quote for Kasey is Angelou’s, “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

-Mr. Rogers: He celebrated each individual, stating, “As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has- or ever will have- something inside that is unique to all time. It's our job to encourage each other to discover that uniqueness and to provide ways of developing its expression.” What makes each person unique is what makes them powerful, and if we could recognize this, we’d all be a lot better.

Ashleigh’s Heroes

-John McCain: Ashleigh was lucky enough to meet him during a campaign stop when she was a kid and, as she grew older, watched him grow into a political force. In addition to his service story, he had an unparalleled ability to build compromise and consensus.

-Marie Curie: She devoted her life to science and, though she didn’t know what the outcome of her research would be, persisted with the help of her support system that championed her the whole way through.

Why Have Heroes?

-Not only can you learn from watching them, but they can also instill a sense of hope. Heroes remind us that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
