...The Person I Admire The sound of a pleasant tone that calls “Gracie” fills my heart with warmth as I open Mama Thors’s door every afternoon. Mama Thors is my boyfriend’s mother. She has short wavy blond hair and blue eyes, and her oval shape face looks like Reese Witherspoon’s. She has a slim body, which fits in with any kind of outfits her laughter lights up the room and her sweet smile makes me feel so loved and at peace. She is always ready to listen to my complaints about work or personal issues that bother me. Every time I ask, she is always there to give me advice. Beyond the support, she greets me with a gigantic smile across her face whenever I walk into her house and gives me an enormous hug and a soft kiss before I leave each evening. Although she is already beautiful, her kindness makes her more so. Smiles flow over her indulgent face as flowers every time she gives presents to people who are in need, such as charities for veterans and people suffering through disaster. I adore being around her so much that my heart attaches to her as a magnet attaches to the wall. I can even sense the lovely smell of her perfume wherever I go, like she is always with me. She makes my visits the most exciting moments of the week for me. I feel as if I am the luckiest person because it is very difficult to have found someone who is so loving, caring, and kind like Mama Thors. She shines on my dark days as the moon shines at...

...The person I admire Movie stars and singers, who make a lot of money and are famous, are admired by teenagers. However, they don’t even know the person or their personality. To me admiration is a kind of respect. But there aren’t a lot of people in this world who demand this sort of respect from me. My mother is the only person who has entered my life and made me look at things differently. The first reason why I admire my mother is because she teaches me about experience. Experience is what you learn as you go through your life. As a child, you always learn that people are really nice and generous. That is not true. As you step into the real world, you will see the a person’s real face and all difference schemes, plan to make them success.[I don't understand what you are trying to say here] This happened to me when I was in sixth grade. When my class had a test and my friend did not know the answer , she asked me what the answer was and I told her what the answer was but when I had a problem and I asked her, she never answered me. Instead she said she didn't know or she that she hadn't got there yet. I was really upset and unhappy but as I have from my mother, I understand why my friend did that and I let it go more easily. She took care of her children first before she took care of herself is the second reason why I admire my mother. Taking care of a person is not easy, and taking care of yourself at the same time is even harder. My mother always takes care of me...

...THE PERSON I ADMIRE MOST Talk about the person that I admire so much, a lot of names run through my mind. My mother, sister and some good friends. I even wanted to write about Shim Changmin, the man that made my eyes pop out and he is my love at first sight among the Korean boy bands. But then , I decided to write about a person whom I admire so much and who has influenced me a lot . she is my best friend from my hometown, Kerteh , Terengganu. Her name is Khairunnisa and everyone calls her NIsa. She is as pretty as her name but she does not seem to realise this or she chooses to ignore it. She has a face that every girl would die for. She has silky soft , white creamy skin. Her sparkling hazel eyes are complemented by dark sooty lashes . Her hair is straight , waist length and lustrous like the models in the Rejoice shampoo advertisement. She is a simple girl but yet other girls are envious of her. Though she is petite, small and slender she is strong willed and matured. It is not her physical appearance that made me admire her. Her personality attracts people like magnets. She is friendly, talks politely to everyone, has a good sense of humour, caring and a good Muslimah. Another good thing about her , she has no time for puppy love. Although she has many good looking suitors flirting with her, my elder brother included, she paid no attention to all of them. Sometimes I wish she had introduced some of the guys to me. However , being a good Muslimah, she stays away...

...The person who has the greatest influence on my life is my mother. My mother has the greatest influence on my life because she demonstrates traits that every individual should want to do.

Letting them know that no matter what high school you graduate from or what you have done in the past you still can become successful.

...A Person I Admire I can’t really say that I have an idol. I do have people that I look up to and admire, but I do not have that one person that I idolize or would actually like to be. I think that I prefer to look at more specific characteristics and qualities in a person, rather than a person as a whole. I like to find that kind of qualities in someone else and not copy them, but learn from them. I have had a hard time figuring out who to choose as my idol in this assignment until I thought of a person who had a big influence on me during my childhood. I’ve learned a lot from his works and the wisdom I was given, still has an impact on me today. This person is Walt Elias Disney. I find his work very educational for children all around the world and even to some adults. Walt Disney was born in 1901 and unfortunately passed away in 1966 due to lung cancer. His company, Walt Disney Company, produced cartoon movies, comic strips and other productions of entertainment. Disney started out with the cartoon mouse called Mickey who was the main character in his first shorter movies, which also contained some other famous fictional characters such as Donald Duck, Goofy, Pluto and the list continues almost endlessly. The first traditional animated movie that he made was “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” in 1937. Even though Walt Disney has passed away, the company still produces movies in his name and the latest movie released was “Big Hero 6” in 2014. As a child I was a huge fan...

...Graduating from college would be a big one. The reason for that goal is a little complicated. Immediately i think of a career and how a degree would help me get a job. Hopefully it will lead to financially safe career. I would appreciate the education i would get for my own personal gain and the value of knowledge. I want to know as much about the world as i can. Still i can’t ignore the fact that what really drives me is the degree. I see it as the more you learn the better you get. My education would improve my life in two ways, by broadening my knowledge, and through reputation. I want to improve on my self and education helps me do this. In college you would find more success of knowledge than you could find anywhere else. Another reason why i am in college because in my recent experience in trying to find a job i realized that the employer takes you more seriously if you have more than just a high school diploma. I don’t want to be working at some fast money business and hardly having enough money to support not only myself, but also my family. Being in college and getting a degree in whatever my heart desires will open up so many doors for me. It would help me get a job that i not only like, but one that will make me feel like i am actually accomplishing something with my life. My last reason, but not my least important reasons is that i decided to go to college because i like being anti-social and being involve in school activities. So a big reason why i wanted to go...

...A person who I admire A person who I admire is an interesting topic. I believe you can admire more than one person. A typical admiration I have seen is when people boy, are admiring a very famous singer, actor etc. although it is typical, it is still a good admiration because you can use that person as your role model or idol. Fx. If your role model is a sportsman, then you can admire his performing skills, and maybe learn something from him or her. But trough my life I have admired many persons, friends, older people, teachers, etc. All these people have given me experiences and personal abilities which I have acquired with help from them. My opinion is that I cannot admire one person specially. When I admire someone I respect the person’s character. After my experience I also admire someone when I am in his presence. A person who can change a bad day to a good day, fx my mother. My mother is defiantly one of my top 3 list over admired persons. Just imagine without your mother you would not exist. Everyone should admire how housemothers are struggling to raise there children’s. I am indeed of her proud of my mother, it is because of her that I am that what I am today. When I always have been in a bad mood my mother opened up my minds to look at things in a different perspective. Fx when I has had a problem she shared her experiences with me and learned me to tackle every situation. Another important person who I likes to admire is my father. A father and a mother is an admirable...

For me, what motivates me to be a kind and helpful person are the two people whom I admire.

...Jessica Guzman November 7, 2013 I admire her the most……… For me admiring someone is the act of looking at someone with approval, respect, and even love. As we grow older, we find someone we look up to and admire. The person I admire the most is neither world famous nor a multimillionaire. I save my admiration for a special woman, my mother. Who as I grew older has taught me many things in life, those in which have helped me in many situations till this day. My mother has showed me more than I could see in the world. She’s the reason why I keep going despite all the challenges. Because of her I am who I am today. I can certainly sit here and write you a whole book about the many qualities I admire about her. Above all my mother holds the qualities necessary for her to be someone I admire. Her strength has taught me how to overcome the obstacles I face day by day. Her motivation has inspired me to complete tasks I thought I couldn’t accomplish. Lastly I admire the way my mother cares selflessly for others and the ability to make someone smile despite any personal difficulties. An important quality I admire about my mother is her strength. I grew up with a single mother that was both a mother and a father to me. I never really focused on not having a dad around; it wasn’t as important as having our mom, who was always there for us. No matter how hard it was for her at times she always found strength. Strength, to be able to help her daughters whenever they needed something...
