Well my name is Maureen I Live In Mo Val and I am a shy person but once you get to know me I am really louad and a funny person :)
please read my essay and see if it makes sense.?
the essay is about christopher reeve being my role model:
Whom I Admire:
The earth as our home is inhabited by numerous commendable people. These people are truly inspirational; they have the moral integrity that enables others to make life-altering changes within their own life. These people are known to the community as role models. Role models are individuals whom we can look upon when we are faced we self doubt. They inspire us so we are able to persevere through challenging situations in our lives. My personal role model is Christopher Reeve, the manner in which he lived his life truly is inspirational.
Christopher Reeve once played a man that everyone looked up to. He was capable of any situation brought upon him. He enforced the good in the world, he was superman. In his movie Christopher embodied the perfect person, he was able to make the world a better place. He conquered the unjust and saved the planet. When his movie premiered everyone wanted to be like Christopher, kids everywhere admired him and wished they were him. He was the perfect role model, people today still consider him the one and only superman.
Greatly handicapped from his paralysis Christopher persisted to travel and do outreach work. He joined Mr. Cal Ripken as a motivational speaker and spoke to students and encouraged to live their life to the fullest. Christopher admitted to them he cried day, he need time to say “this really sucks” but after his cry he would tell himself. “And now, forward”. He inspired everyone around him to keep on going. In 1997 Christopher was honored with as star on the Hollywood walk of fame. A week before the premiere of the star, he broke his arm and was in need of surgery. On the night of his premiere he reported being feeble, but was honored he was receiving a star. Everyone who attended the premiere saw what a courageous man Christopher was,
Although Christopher played the part of superman that is not the only reason I consider him my role model. On May 27, 1995 he fell off his horse and broke his spinal cord and paralyzed him from the neck down. Christopher was confined to a wheel chair which was powered by blowing air into a straw for the rest of his life. Christopher could have decided to stay out of public view because of this but he did not. He chose to travel the world and serve as a voice for the paralyzed in the United States. He urged the medical teams at Boston University to find a cure for his parilization. He remained confident that he would soon be able to walk again. Christopher was truly courageous throughout these difficult times, he was an example to all of us that you should keep going in spite of limitations.
Christopher Reeve passed on October 10, 2004 due to a heart attack. He was an individual many people including myself see as a role model. Christopher became a real life superman in my eyes, his courage and bravery were traits of the character he played in 1978. He affected millions of people’s lives, mostly the sufferers of spinal code injuries. His doctors only expected him to live for 7 years due to extent of his injury, he overcame this and lived for an additional 13 years where he made many great changes. Christopher Reeve will continue to be my role model.

In life we are faced with many difficult situations. We have the choice to fight for what we believe, in or simply keep our heads down as if it did not affect us. There are consequences for either action that is chosen. When trying to stand up for what we believe in, we could be pushed to the floor and forced to believe what the people around us think is right. If we choose to keep our heads down, the feeling that is felt is just the same as being pushed to floor since you are choosing to believe what you know is wrong. In Black Boy by Richard Wright, Richard has to face these obstacles on a daily basis. He grew up at a time where people of color were not allowed to speak their mind. If they did the consequences were either beatings that could leave them either badly hurt, or in some cases an inch from death.
Put yourself in a situation where you are riding your bike then suddenly your tire is punctured, a car pulls over offering you a ride. They offer you some water and you refuse, out of nowhere a glass bottle is smashed between your eyes and they say to you: “******, ain’t you learned no better sense’n that yet”, Ain’t you learned to say sir to a white man yet?” It is hard to picture a time where scenes like this or other hate crimes occurred daily. It is hard to understand that people of color, only about a hundred years ago were treated in this cruel manner. Richard was young, he was a victim of many hate crimes, yet he still got up every morning to a life where he was considered worthless. In present day America, racism is not illegal since there is no way to change how an individual thinks, however hate crimes are illegal.
People today say they have felt hunger, but have they truly felt it as Richard did for many years throughout his life? Richard’s life became complicated when his father decided to leave his family for another woman. Money was scarce for the Wright family, suddenly there was no food in the house Richard and his brother would have to go through the day with just a loaf of bread and a pot of tea between them. When Richard was placed in an orphanage he was feed a measly breakfast that was suppose to last him the day, at times he was to weak from hunger to accomplish the tasks set for him. When his school mates went to the store to buy food, he was asked why he would not buy food he would respond with, “I am not hungry or I ate a big meal earlier”. He decided to get a job so he could afford the necessities of food but something always went wrong either he was proud and quit or he was laid off. With the wages he managed to collect he would try to save them to move his family north where racism was not present.
Richard who needed a job desperately was hired at local hotel as a hallboy. He learned that his co workers would steal anything left out by their employers. They questioned him for not doing the same and soon after Richard began a life of crime. He would bootleg liquor to white prostitutes, doing this earned him a dollar here and there, but was not enough to keep him satisfied. He soon quit this job to work at a theater, he was approached by a man asking him to hold and resell movie tickets, and he accepted the deal and earned an easy fifty dollars a week. He continued this only for another week then quit. He decided he wanted to leave to Memphis but he needed a bit more money, he stole his neighbor’s gun and pawned it. He later broke into a college storehouse and took cans of preserves and sold them to restaurants. He left to Memphis soon after.
Richard Wright was a hard worker who only wanted to live a life were racism did not occur. He was faced with numerous difficult situations throughout his life and he conquered them. He was able to accomplish his dream of going north and becoming a writer. In many ways Richard is an inspiration, since he was able to persevere throughout difficult times. If he was able to accomplish him dreams with all the difficulties he was faced with, then why can’t we?
