Your Everyday Hero: Sam L.

My hero is a cello and art history major at Colorado Boulder. While he's an amazing pianist, friend, artist, visionary and conversationalist; I respect him for continually being my confidante since we met in second grade. A large component of his personality is that he's gay, and the story behind his understanding of his sexuality is incredibly inspirational. Sam is an admirable friend who expresses a strong set of values in his day-to-day life.
