Who should I write my essay about?

I'm taking a college level creative writing class and I have to write a profile on ANYONE. A profile differs from a biography in that I can just write about a specific time in the person's life, or a specific issue, etc. So one way to decide is to think of a great/horrible event in history, and pick a person involved in that...? I am the most horribly indecisive person ever and I can't decide. A political figure? A sports figure? A historical figure? Can't decide on even that because I'm interested in all of it! My mind is blank and any new ideas would be appreciated!

    Well, I recently wrote an essay on a friend of mine. I wanted to write it on my husband but our teacher suggested to write about somebody, "not so close to you" because anybody your really close with, you'd be bias towards and it would show in your writing.

    Maybe try a distant relative, friends, boss, or even a pet, yeah sounds weird but my teacher said it was acceptable.

    Good luck.
