Drugs in their environments had effected the Wes Moore's similarly; although they weren't the ones doing the drugs, they were involved with people who did, leading to involvement with authorities. On the contrary, their different role models had impacted them differently. The author admired a honest man, who was mature and (truly) respected.

His influences progressively started here. Kevin Gates say “ i remember not knowing what music was , and chasing my cousins into the living room to watch tv”. “I can't even remember the first time i bought a rap tape”. Back the Gates was to young and it was explicit so he had his cousins swipe them for him.

“Kanye Ran onto the stage saying, ‘I'm sorry, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time!’” (Top 10 Outrageous Kanye West Moments), says Kanye West at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards after Taylor Swift had just won “Best Female Video.” People that are like this have typically not always been this way. They were probably raised as a polite and respectful person before they were exposed to fame and fortune, and other “celebrities,” making them feel like they are the only people on the planet. Causing them to do things like that. Although, Kanye West is an amazing musician based on his 14 Grammy Awards and multiple albums going “Double-Platinum” (Manheim, James M., and Carol Brennan). He fell victim to fame and fortune, and turned into an arrogant and overconfident person making him more popular and praised among media. But looked down upon by everyday people. Kanye Omari West, born on June 8th, 1977, is a world famous rapper who, like all other celebrities, started out like a nice person who made nice music for nice families to listen to. West was a confident and competitive person even as a child, “He was determined even then to get out of his crib and be free, even if he split his head in the process—and he did. He has fought ever since to do exactly what he wanted to do—no matter what,” says Donda West, his mother in her book, Raising Kanye: Life Lessons from the Mother of a Hip-Hop Superstar. By the time West was ten, he was already creating his own raps, and according to the people around him, he was pretty good at it even at that young of an age.

His life, his actions, only show that no matter what you’re facing, be it anything from racial prejudice to something as simple as a mean girl, you can face it and change it for the better. I feel as if he really didn’t find his true calling until he was in his twenties, and that makes me realize that I still have time to find what I’m meant for. After learning so much about him, I am surprised I this is the first time I am hearing his story.
First, Vance Mcdonald is a great role model because he donated his time to join the Convoy of Hope. The Convoy of Hope is a program where they help unfortunate people.

Through growth as an artist and a person Kanye’s stance on how to deal with racism in America has shifted from an attitude of non-violence similar to that of Martin Luther King Jr. to an attitude of freedom at any cost similar to that of Malcolm X. Whether it be these two or any of the messages and ideals touched on in Kanye’s music, they are usually ideals supported by a large part of the African American population. His two messages on how to deal with racism, while polar opposites, are no different and both echo loudly with different Parts of the African American community.
Michael Oher is a offensive tackle for the Carolina Panthers football team. Michael is a role model to me because he had it so hard when he was younger because he had no one supporting him or helping him he lived around bad people, drugs, and lot’s of violence. Michael overcame all the bad obstacles that approached him and kept on working to do well and he started to do well in school also he started playing football and eventually he was an all star football player. Another reason is that he had all these bad things in front of him but he dodged them all and achieved something very big.
My personal hero would be Inky Johnson. Inky Johnson is my hero because he came out of the projects and showed everyone that no matter what, if you set your mind to something, you can do it. He once said, “See something, believe in it, and go get it.” Inky Johnson grew up in the projects and was very poor. He told his mom when he was little that he was going to make it to the NFL, so they wouldn’t have to work ever again. Inky had a great High School career and was given a scholarship to play football at the University of Tennessee. Inky had made the starting lineup is sophomore year, and by his junior year he was projected to be in the first round of the NFL draft. Inky told his mom that in a couple months all of his struggles will be over.

Instead of smooth, he hits you with some tunes that have more of an edge. Rather than more of love jams, he steps outside of his comfort zone with sulkier musicianship.

... top of my list to be one of my living heroes. He has done much to make people take him as an example and start thinking about others, and how people suffer when assistance is not provided .This essay showed me that Nick Vujicic had mental and physical strength and he believes that everybody can make changes.
