A Table full of Inspiration

         In class we were talking about what people need to become leaders. A very important thing they need is good role models. It is important to have good role models because they can help you become a better person. Your role models don’t have to be famous feminists or human right activists. Your role model could be your mom or maybe one of your teachers. As long as your role model is a good person then you have a good role model. If someone’s role models aren’t good leaders then they probably won’t be either. We were then assigned to pick 5 of our role models and write a paragraph about each of them. After that we had to make a diagram of all of our role models. Here are my Role Models.
                                       
                                                                                                       Beyoncé 

         Beyoncé is such an inspirational women. She is a strong, powerful feminist and I admire her so much. One reason she inspires me is because she took control of her career. She started off in a girl band but left because she wanted to be the boss of her life. For the first few years in her solo career she had a manager and many people the tried to control her career. Eventually she decided that she would be her own manager and took over her career. She started to do work she liked and became a very strong independent women. Another reason she inspires me is because of her beliefs. She believes that everyone should be equal. She cares about everyone and wants the world to be a place where you can be whoever you want to be. 

                                                                                                    Michelle Obama

         Michelle Obama is such an amazing person who has done so much to help people in the world. She is such a strong person who can do anything she puts her mind to. When she was in high school she wanted to go to Princeton but many teachers told her she was setting her sights too high but she applied anyways and got in. She graduated Princeton and went on to Harvard to get her doctor in J.D. Degree. She also really cares about people. During her early months as First Lady she visited homeless shelters and soup kitchens. She also hosted a White House Reception for women’s rights activist. She has done so much charity work and fundraising and has changed the lives of so many people. Even now that she is no longer First Lady she is still doing so much to help the world. 

                                                                                                    Emma Watson

        Emma Watson is such an intelligent women. She was put in the spotlight when she was very young. Even though she was extremely busy with filming the Harry Potter series and many other movies she managed to graduate an Ivy League school with a degree in english literature. Since her fame from the Harry Potter series she has done tons of charity work. She has visited many poor countries and has helped teach kids while there. She has also raised tons of money for charities including a hospital and a homeless shelter. Emma Watson is also a feminist. She believes that everyone should be treated equally and has spoken at many events and raised tons of awareness on the subject. Even though she was raised being famous she still managed to stay humble and I admire her so much for that.

                                                                                                            Bill Gates 

        Bill Gates has such a powerful mind that he can do anything he set his mind to. Bill Gates is one of the founders of Microsoft. When he gets an idea he does something about it and makes it happen. When he first got the idea for Microsoft before he even started working on it he immediately contacted a computer company to see if they were interested in their software. Although Gates work in Microsoft was a partnership he did most of the decision making. He was the main leader because he was strong and was good at business. After his work in Microsoft Bill Gates was a billionaire. Most people would think that he would just retire and live a relaxing life but they would be wrong. Bill has done so much charity work and environmental work to help people all over the world. He donates tons of money every year to charities and never stops working.
                                                                  
                                                                                                    Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali was a strong athlete and activist. He started training to be a wrestler at only 12 years old. He was a very strong fighter and won a gold medal at the 1960 summer Olympics. He was an extremely successful wrestler but never stopped practicing. He worked hard everyday of his life. After he retired from his wrestling career he dedicated his life to religious and charity work. He dedicated his life to help those in need and to work towards gender, economic, and racial equality. He traveled around the world to inspire people and give his assurance where ever he could. All he ever wanted to do was help people and he defiantly did that.
