Who are three people that inspire you and why?
There are so many inspiring people out there but only so many inspire me. My parents inspire me the most. They always teach me that no matter what happens you have to be the better person and do what's right, even if it means giving up everything. They tell me that in the end if you do more right than wrong it will definitely pay up. I have always taken what they say to heart because I believe so much that what goes around comes around and my parents have thought me that from the beginning. They inspire me to do the right thing no matter the consequences. Another person that inspires greatly is Paul Rusesabagina who saved thousands of Rwandan citizens from war. He owned a hotel and allowed thousands of refuges to live there while the war took place. He took care of them all and risked his life for their safety. It inspires that he would risk not only his life but his families life for people he had never even met. I wish I had his bravery and courage. The last person that inspires me is my great grandmother. When she was very young she gave birth to my grandmother in the middle of an Italian war. She was stuck in Italy and was trying to find a way to America to make a better life for my grandmother and my grandmothers siblings. They finally got to America and she worked really hard in order for my grandmother to have a good life. She has impacted me greatly in my life and although I have never met her I have met my grandmother and I bet my great grandmother is exactly like my grandmother. I am proud to have her in my family.
If you where an animal what animal would you be and why?
If I where to be any animal I would be a giraffe because they are laid back beautiful animals. Giraffes are very peaceful and I personally am the type that does not like any arguing what so ever, I can't stand conflict. If I where a giraffe I feel as if things would be simple yet exciting. I would get to travel and move every day and get to see Africa through the eyes of a tall long giraffe. Life would be beautiful and simple. No need to worry except to find water or food. You would see other animals living in Africa, it would be something completely different than living in Colorado as a human. Is would be the complete opposite of what I'm doing right now and I would love to do something completely new. I think life would be amazing as a giraffe to be able to explore and to be able to have a new intake on life.
