Who do you admire and why?

These could be people in the public eye, or members of your family.
They might be people you've never met and aren't widely known, but you know their stories and have great respect for them.
Maybe it's someone down the street you've seen do something extraordinary.

Who do you look up to?
Who is your hero?
And why do you admire them?

:)

My heroes are all the physically and mentally challenged people who don't whine and complain expecting a hand-out, who give others the benefit of the doubt, and who face life with a bright smile and sparkly eyes.

Oh, yeah, that goes for old people too. In fact, that also goes for any young person, handicapped or not.

That would be my husband, when things does not make sense to me, he is always willing to make time for me and put everything in perspective for me, whenever I need a shoulder to cry on, he reminds me that he has two and the love he shows me and our kids is more than I could have asked for

I admire my grandmother. During her childhood her mother passed away of illness and her father killed himself right after. She was then sent to a foster home and lived there until she met my grandfather. She become pregnant with my mother at 18. Despite her hardships in life she is the happiest, most positive, caring person I know. I love her and respect all that she has done. She's a beautiful woman!
