In most cases, no one knew that a newborn daughter was going to be a motherless one someday. Or that a newborn son would be a fatherless one someday either. However, in the end, everyone will be a parentless kid sometime in their lifetime-it just might not have happened to them yet. 
For the kids who lost their parents at a young age, they had no idea what was in store for them in regards to their life path. They had no idea that this event would turn them into the person they will eventually become one day. 

When a kid loses their parent at a young age, even though they may not realize it, they will be a very strong and independent person when they grow up. Not only will they develop a sense to look out for others like their parents used to, but they will also surprise others as well as themselves for the internal drive they will have to want to succeed. 

Super heroes, like the ones you see on the big screen, all have something in common. Something significant in their life happened to them, that made them decide to help others. The same thing goes for all parentless kids for that matter. They are the ones out there that try and take their pain and turn it into something positive that can be beneficial for the community. Instead of sulking, they are the ones out there volunteering, or doing their part in their community to make it a better one. 

Super heroes make a choice to do something positive with their special talent, ability, power, or gift. Parentless kids are their own category of super heroes because they take their ability to go through something tragic, and turn it into something positive for others. They may not be able to fly faster than a speeding bullet, or be able to read people's minds, but they have a gift of being there for other people, tend to be good listeners, and have the power to heal and help others going through hard times or what they have already gone through. 

Parentless kids are everyday super heroes. Super heroes are not just on the big screen. People who choose to do good even though they may have been through bad situations are the real super heroes--those that don't ever take credit for things they do, and do things from the kindness of their hearts and not because they want something in return--those are the real super heroes.
Super heroes are not just heroes on the big screen--they are everyday heroes that are right in front of us including parentless kids.
