Mom Remains the Top

In a world of cut throat competitors Chad Ochocinco, no doubt, is an exceptionally kind hearted character. And yes, Mr. President Obama is; indisputably a hero for all black American youngsters.

Here is a passage from a letter written by a young fan to his hero, the Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco (formerly Johnson)

"Mr. Johnson, you really make me happy. One of my goals in my future life is to be just like you when I grow up. I wonder who was your role model when you were little? I have three role model(s) in my life that's my mom, Mr. President Barack Obama and my favorite football player Mr. Chad Johnson. To me you are the best football player in the NFL. May God bless you and your family happy holidays."

The author of the letter Nine-year-old Ruben St. Hilaire, Jr. lives with his mother in a shelter for the homeless in New York City.

But what if all she could manage for her son is a life in a shelter for the homeless?

In spite of such larger than life heroes; the Mom remains the top role model!
