ANDERSON COOPER

i'm going to write about someone i've never met and know nothing about. Anderson Cooper.

anderson was born into vast wealth.. could have sat on his ass and done nothing of value as many trust fund babies do .. instead he chose to be a newsman/reporter. he's become much more than that. he's become a humanitarian. the show that he hosts every year called HEROES should include him.

his work in haiti, helping the injured has touched my heart very deeply. I don't believe he does it for photo-ops but his heart seems to be in the right place.. he himself has seen the dark side of life.. his father died when he was a young boy and his brother jumped to his death. he was born with a tarnished silver spoon and unlike most, has turned it into gold.

i've met many celebrated people and most often i am disappointed when i meet them. they can't live up to their public persona. some of the sweetest people on the screen turn out to be the biggest jerks in real life..

my point is if Anderson is a big jerk in life, there's no sign of it.

he appears to be a kind, caring, compassionate man. i hope he is just that.

he's my hero and should be recognized as one.
