CeeCee Lyles Strove For Greatness Focus On Vision: Sept. 11 heroine taught herself and others to reach for dreams.(LEADERS & SUCCESS)
Byline: DOUG TSURUOKA
For CeeCee Lyles, it wasn't about being a hero. It was about doing the right thing.
That attitude made Lyles a hero long before she boarded a seemingly routine flight from Newark, N.J., to San Francisco on Sept. 11.
A one-time Florida police detective, Lyles was used to looking death in the eye.
"She wasn't afraid of anything. She would run any criminal flat down and tackle them -- even if they had a gun," said her aunt, Mareya Schneider.
