Who is your role model/inspitation/hero?

Question

Curious to know who everyone looks up to?
I have two.
 First is Amy Winehouse. I can relate to her on a personal level and her music is my inspiration. When I'm singing I fashion my voice after hers. 
Second is Tina Fey. I love what she has done for women in the entertainment business. She isn't what men perceive women to be and she is hilarious.  I love her in 30 Rock...how she is always rearranging her bra or eating food. She is hilarious. 
So how about you?

Answer

These two amazinf women, Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey, for their work with chimpanzees and gorillas. Dian Fossey was murdered by poachers while trying to protect wildlife, and Jane Goodall still works to this day to try to get people to care about species other than our own. They are my inspirations every day to do better by this planet for the future.

Answer

I don't know if I'd call it "role models", but I look at Margaret Atwood and Madeleine Albright as badass ladies I admire.

Answer

I don't really have role models, but I have intellectual crushes. Right now, I'm hella feeling Junot Diaz and Cornell West.

Answer

The only person I can think of is my mom. She's such a strong woman and is such a good parent. She really was both parents for a really long time. My dad struggled with PTSD and alcoholism and wasn't reliable when my siblings and I needed him. I have half siblings who weren't lucky enough to have a mom who was able to pick up the slack and really be everything and I've seen how that effected them. She really inspires me and is a big reason I have the life and bright future I do.

Answer

I think Kate Middleton is just classy. Love her.

Answer

Role models, nah. Don't have any. Inspirations? That's too broad. There are so many people that inspire so many things in me in so many ways I can't possibly sit here and try to even think of them all. 
Heroes? Eh. Personally, I felt a bit too jaded to have any personal 'heroes', but I can and do recognize great deeds done by people. The concept of 'hero' bothers me on a level that it's an unrealistic pedestal to put the idea of someone on. It's an identity erasing concept that's overly romanticized and I just can't get down with that.

Answer

Kurt Cobain got me through a rough childhood.

Answer

Aside from family members that constantly inspire me throughout my life... J K Rowling inspires me because she didn't give up on her dreams of being a writer. I'm trying not to give up on mine.
Another who inspires me a lot is Marcus Lattimore. College football running back for SC. Suffered one of the worst knee injuries in football after already coming back from another. He worked incredibly hard to rehab the injury and was drafted to the 49ers, but had to retire last year before playing again. In SC he is an inspiration to a lot of people. He is just a wonderful person, selfless, and charitable. An example that bad things happen to good people. Seeing anyone like him want to achieve a dream so badly only to have it shattered is upsetting to say the least. Especially when some, coughmanzielcough, get the chance and just throw it away/don't seem to appreciate it. But that's a whole other thing I'm not going to get into.

Answer

I look up to.... Really, no one. I just kinda fly through life taking leaps of faith and hoping I don't fall flat on my face. I don't follow celebrity happenings (unless I'm on here and see a poll about one) and frankly, I think looking up to people is stupid. I used to look up to Michael Jackson and in my eyes he was perfect. Of course now I know he isn't, but once upon a time I thought he was. So, no one. I don't need a role model.

Answer

Not my role model but Ani DeFranco is stinkin cool
