Introduction
By Duo Maxwell; Reporter for TIME
I first met Quatre out on the battlefield in Afghanistan. The second I met him I knew he was a unique kid. Every day I thought I had seen the depths of his courage and stamina, just to see him out do himself again.
Quatre is definitely a different class of person. From being raised in the upper-class world we all crave to be in, to denouncing it all to fight for the freedom of a people he didn't even belong too. He fought though adversity, and faced the greatest foe he ever had: his own father.
He taught me the most important lesson I ever learned when we were out in Afghanistan: "Never loose hope, you don't know who might need it tomorrow." How many times I have said that to myself, reminding myself not to give in.
It is my sincere hope that everyone can learn just half as much as I did from Quatre Winner, and that the story of his life, and the struggles he has had to endure will inspire everyone to get out there and be a better person, like he did for me.
