On TV and in the movies, you can see heroes dressed up in capes and costumes with incredible power. But one thing we have learned living in the real world is that heroes can come in all shapes, sizes and even ages.
Students and community members gathered Wednesday to celebrate one of those real-life heroes: kindergartener Virtuous Rose Bennett. She was honored by the city of Ripley, Ohio for calling 911 to save her grandmother's life.
McClain said that a true hero is someone who steps out of their comfort zone and does something truly amazing.
According to The Ledger-Independent, Rose's grandmother was suffering from a stroke.
Many times during a stroke, a person can't really tell you what's going on while it's happening, but Rose knew something wasn't right.
During the whole ordeal, Rose remained calm while talking to the 911 dispatchers who activated the life squad, according to McClain.
