Inspiring People

I have compiled a list of people that are inspiring to me. Some of them are people I know, some of them are famous people.

I'll start with famous people.

ShayCarl + Katilette
They have youtube channels, they are a couple with 4 kids. (Shaytards, Katilette, Shayloss, Shaycarl, etc). They have been one of the biggest influences on my life to date. They make daily vlogs (videos/ video logs) on youtube of just their daily adventures. I'm not explaining everything about them, but Shay went through a long process of finally losing 100 pounds, which was extremely inspiring. He ran 2 marathons, and now his wife is running a half-marathon. They started eating healthier and such. Plus I love their kids. So they have influenced my healthy lifestyle--- a lot. AND my happiness, and attitudes towards life.

Tina Fey
You can't say you didn't see this happening (me writing her name in this blog). She isn't especially "inspiring" as she has been influential. I love her mostly because she is absolutely hilarious and beautiful. But she is influential as well. She influenced my style a lot, and she has influenced the types of comedy I like. She has inspired me to just "go for things" as well, from certain things I read in her book.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
He's a guy from the 19th Century. He didn't really "influence" me of anything, but I have found we have many identical thoughts, which in process, makes him inspiring. He had contributed some ideas towards individualism and such. I don't know too much about his personal life, but I love his quotes and his ideas. I am going to get one of his quotes tattooed on eventually. This one "Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist".

Okay, now onto personal people. Wow. That made logic. Logic makes lots of today. Today lots makes of logic.

k.

So I am not putting names for these people, but I will identify who they are. My friends will know who they are, based on what I put down. They are all teachers... soo...

The first person is a teacher. She helped me break out of my comfort zone. I had her for Careers and Peer tutoring. I really felt like I could talk to her. I got some feedback and stuff from her for peer tutoring, and she helped me break out of my comfort zone. As well, it helped that she treated me like an equal to her, rather then a student. She would laugh with me about certain things, and easily trusted me to do things for her, like marking tests, giving me her keys to go to her car, just stuff like that.

Well, as stated, they are all teachers. I have had this teacher for history. I HATED history before Grade 10. Then I had her, and she changed my point of view completely. It takes an amazing teacher to get a person to like something you used to despise. I see her a lot outside of school. She's not the most "personal" teacher, but more recently we've talked more. She's sort of a closed teacher, she doesn't talk about herself much. But we've became closer which is nice.

Last teacher. I had her for Family Studies. The very first day I had her, I HATED her. But then I loved her, so it was all good. She is an amazing teacher. She knew when her class was getting bored and would tell jokes to make us laugh. She is the one teacher that I would go to for anything, if I ever had to for whatever reason. She helped me find my voice. I was really quiet in that class, but from talking to her... after that class was OVER :(, she helped me develop a voice, and made me aware that I can actually talk, and that people want to hear my opinion. Hearing that made my life.

These three teachers are amazing. They know it too, because I have written two of them thank-you cards, and the other one I nominated her for an award, she didn't win but she got honourable mention.

And the three (well four) celebrities are also amazing.

They are just some of the people who helped make me who I am today. You know, besides my parents, and friends, etc.

But these are the type of people I... I don't want to say worship, but respect, a lot. I hope to meet ShayCarl and Katilette someday. They are so down to earth and amazing. It would be likely for me to meet them someday, as well. Tina Fey, it is less likely, but who knows!

Anyways.
I guess this is it for now.
