Jordan Rice (13)
As floods were ravaging Australia in January 2011, Jordan Rice got caught in the floods with his mother and brother. Two rescue workers came over and were ready to rescue him, but Jordan refused. He urged the rescue workers to first rescue his little brother Blake (10), and then his mother. Unfortunately, after the rescuers were able to save Blake, the floods swept Jordan and his mother from the car, carrying them to their deaths.
What strikes me about this story is that this young boy, who couldn't swim and was terrified of water, cared so much for his family that he was willing to sacrifice himself to let them be saved. Jordan's story is a true inspiration to us all, and tells us that we as humans actually have the capacity of bravery and self-sacrifice, even in the darkest hour. So that makes him a true hero.
