Youssif shows off his "certificate of citizenship," an award given to the Iraqi boy by his school in Los Angeles for being exceptionally nice."One kid got hurt, and I helped him," Youssif says.He smiles and proudly holding on the award. He says he likes to help kids who get hurt because he once was.Seeing Youssif now, it's hard to believe he's the same boy in Baghdad four years ago.
Youssif was grabbed by masked men, doused in gas and set on fire.He was so savagely disfigured it looked as though his face melted and then froze.
"The way he interacts with people -- everything. It began as soon as he started school and realized that the children don't care about his appearance. It allowed him to have a normal life." Youssif's mother says.
I believe that he is a hero because it's not everyday you see a child saving a life now a days and i'm sure i would be able to something like that
