My personal hero would have to be Dwight from the office. He is my hero because he is a great worker and everyone he works with enjoys working with him alot. When michael is busy, Dwight steps up and tries to become help out and lead the rest of the workers. Most of the workers really enjoy working with him, and he always has good ideas to work with. My hero has never changed its always been Dwight Schrutte.
