It didn't stop there in high school Bo broke the state record for the 100 meter dash which still stands today.

    Many people think of a hero as a man or women that do an incredible act and more often than not many people look up to that one person. In the story A Worn Path by Eudora Welty, the main character Phoenix Jackson is defined as a hero. The hero in this story resembles what is known as unconscious heroism, which is a person doing heroic actions and not be aware that they actually are doing something heroic. Phoenix demonstrates this in many ways. Phoenix faces great danger during a trip she made down town one very cold December day to pick up medicine for her grandson. Phoenix is very old, frail, and nearly blind. This trip required her to climb through a barbed wire fence and cross a frozen stream. This particular trip almost kills her as she runs across a hunter. As she finally gets to town, she has a very interesting conversation with some nurses she meets at the hospital.…
