Well, let's look at what he's done: All things considered, he's not a little bitch. He can be whiny and complain, but who doesn't? In the end, he's just a flawed person who wanted to follow their dreams and got caught up in something bigger, but rather than running and hiding he stepped up to the challenge and has kept going.
 * He's cheated his way into an elite combat school with no training in order to follow his dreams of being a hero like his forefathers.
 * He's sucked up his pride and accepted the offer of training from Pyrrha, and even stuck to his word when he said that he'll wear a dress if she doesn't have a date.
 * He's been the better man and offered advice to Neptune on how to talk to Weiss, despite making his own feelings for her more than clear (and hounding her about them in the process)
 * He's tried to be supportive of his teammates no matter what, even if he doesn't understand the problem. Which in and of itself can add to the problem at times (see Pyrrha and the Maiden Arc)
 * He's agreed to go with Ruby on a cross-kingdom journey to follow a vague lead she got from her uncle because he wants to know why Pyrrha had to die... and has succeeded in learning the reason.

Even if he's not the most inspiring person, he's at least got guts.
