Absolutely. I think those small heroisms are what the healing angel's teacher was hoping the kids discovered.

I realized, through talking with the healing angel, that I'd misunderstood how the assignment was framed. You weren't supposed to ask people what heroic thing they'd done, but to tell a story of a struggle they had, a hard thing that they overcame. Then that becomes, by virtue of their struggle and accomplishment, a sort of heroism.
