An athlete who has inspired me from a young age is Kobe Bryant. He was in my opinion the greatest shooting guard to play the game of basketball. His dedication and work ethic was like no other. He was a born leader who feared nothing. I was always inspired by his loyalty and hard work. He played his entire 20 year career with the Los Angeles Lakers. Bryant was passionate about everything he did and always pushed himself beyond his limits. His recent passing is very tragic and will have a large effect on many.
The person who inspires me the most is Cristiano Ronaldo. He is a professional Portuguese soccer player. Ronaldo inspires me because he is not only a very talented player, he has donated a lot of his free time to helping others in need. For instance, in 2005 Cristiano Ronaldo met a tsunami survivor from Indonesia named Martunis. Ronaldo paid for his education by raising funds. He also donates blood regularly. Cristiano Ronaldo is a kind person who is generous with both time and money. I believe these are qualities a person must have to be considered inspirational. In conclusion, Ronaldo is someone we could all learn from.
Sidney Crosby is a Canadian hockey player who plays for Pittsburgh. He plays in the national hockey league which is known as the (NHL). He was the first overall pick in 2005, he is known as the best player in the NHL right now. The reason why he inspires me is that he is currently 32 years old and he is still working really hard to get better even though he is the best already. In the case of other good players, we would often see them slow down and get worst since they often get too confident. I met Sidney Crosby two years ago by luck when I was in Mont Tremblant for the weekend during Christmas break. He was training at a hockey outdoor rink by himself while his girlfriend was sitting in the car because Sidney Crosby was using his girlfriend’s boots as cones since he didn’t have any. I went to talk to him and he told me that whatever you do in life, you always have to fight to get better. Sidney Crosby really inspires me since he never gives up and he always hustles to get better at someone that he’s already the best.
This man is Hocine Aït Ahmed, an Algerian politician born in 1926 who died in 2015. He was one of the principal leaders of Algerian war. He joined the conflict when he was 15 years old. After the Algerian independence, in 1962, due to multiples disagreements, he decides to leave the principal political party in Algeria, FLN ( National Liberation Front), to create the principal opposition party FFS ( Socialists Forces Front). Since then, he fought tirelessly for democracy in Algeria and went to multiples international convention to change Algeria’s future.
This man is one of my principal inspiration because no matter how many obstacles or enemies there were, he never gave up and always defended the interests of the people. Even after being imprisoned, sentenced to death, forced into exile, he still had hope when everyone around had given up. I’m convinced that all country needs more man like him and that he should be an inspiration to everyone that considers justice and democracy as absolute priorities.
There are many famous men who have been inspirational in the world, all around the world. However, the one man in my life who has directly inspired me is my dad. My dad, Joe, was born in 1968 on October 17th in the Royal Victoria hospital. He was raised in Italy up until the age of 5, to come back to Montreal for education. Ever since my dad could remember his life was always hard. He lived in an abusive household with his mother and his father. My grandfather was an alcoholic and an abusive father and husband. Just at the age of 11 my dad found his mother trying to take her own life. She survived but was never the same. His mother moved out when my dad was only 17 and shortly after he followed to live with her. My dad is inspirational to me because even after all his hardships he never turned out to be like his father. He is such a sweet and gentle man. My dad inspires me because he is such a good father despite what has happened to him. He dedicated his life to help others. He is truly selfish and full of love and this is why he inspires me.
This guy here, he has been my idol for as long as I can remember. He is my definition of the perfect president and he has the biggest heart, for an ex president at least. Unlike the present president, Obama would never dare to think of building walls, or initiating wars. Nonetheless, Obama would never try and separate little children away from their parents. He was the most humble and kindhearted human to ever exist.
Aside from being the first president of color, he supported many causes such as same sex marriage and he even ended a war in Iraq. That being said, he never had the most perfect life himself. His parents underwent a divorce and would not have access to proper education if it weren’t for a scholarship. He is what I call a real president and he will still continue to fight for what’s right. His good qualities are his determination, administration and love he has for his people.
My definition of an inspirational person is someone who younger generations can look up to. Speaking from a young adult’s perspective, if I had people like Obama to aspire to become, I would have grown up to be a better person. To me, an inspirational person is someone who knows their values, morals, and power and take advantage of it to do good things. No one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes but an inspiration is someone who uses their mistakes as a way to warn youngsters to advice them.
The only man which I find to be inspirational is my dad. His constant hustle and great effort in anything that he does in his daily life is what makes him to be someone very inspirational to me. My dad has showed me how working hard in life leads to great things as he constantly preaches that if you’re going to do something, do it the right. He takes care of those around him and is always supporting in anything that they I do. He has taught me how although life can be unfair sometimes, focusing on your goals and striving to accomplish them will lead to everything working out fine in the end.
The qualities i look for in an inspirational person is someone who is genuine and passionate in anything they do. Also determination is very important as my dad inspires me because of his constant determination to succeed.
Kendrick Castillo is a man who inspires me. He was a student at STEM School Highlands Ranch in Colorado who was killed when he tackled a school shooter. He was a brave, and selfless man sacrificing his life for the lives of his fellow students , teachers, and school administrators. He is an inspiration to everyone to be selfless.
The man I have chosen for this blog post is Colin Kaepernick. He was the quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers in the NFL, from 2011 to 2016 and he is 32 years of age. He is well known for not standing during the national anthem at football events. He is a political activist, and the reason he would kneel during the anthem was to challenge racial discrimination and police brutality. His actions had several thousand reactions, some were positive and agreeing with him, while others were not supportive, negative, and labeling his decisions as disrespectful. I find him inspiring because he did something powerful, knowing it would not be accepted by everyone or by most. He stood for what he believed in, while not standing for what others believed in.
