People of Inspiration



About

Oftentimes we used inspirational individuals to model what we want to do in our life. We take people that we would call modern day superheroes, because they did something important in their lifetime. These four individuals I've chosen have done something extraordinary in their life, and thus modeled my life. Their actions present their worthy character and mindset, they all had a goal to achieve in order to help and benefit others or influence others in a good way. I will present the biography of these individuals and how they have inspired me in my own life and moved me to do something inspirational with my life. I will talk about the life these individuals had, how they started out, how they lived their life, their accomplishments, as well as what they struggled with. These four have all impacted history in some sort of way, they left their imprint on the world and will go down in history. These people were kind and respectable and were known for their actions and character. They were talked to and were commended for the actions they took. I will also discuss what these people meant to me personally and how they have inspired me in my life and how I want to live it. I took certain aspects of their life that have inspired me on my own. They have inspired me to work hard for my dreams and goals in life. The four people I have chosen are Selena Quintanilla, Martin Luther King Jr., Malala Yousafzai, and Gabriela Mistral.
