Dr. Hannibal Lecter inspires me because he's smart, strong, caring, dangerous, he's powerful, loving, and generous. But most importantly: He's a gentleman. He has manners. We both went through something painful and sad in our life time. We both lost our most beloved family member in front of us, We both watched them die, we couldn't do a thing to save them. We've both loved and lost, we both hated and regreted, we both long for one thing: love. I share a lot in common with him, I respect him, I learn from him, he's like my brother. My mother said I'm crazy. And it's not normal to look up to a killer, but I'm more like him than she thinks.

When ever I'm going through a rough time, I look to his teachings for guidance and comfort (like I get it from my parents. That'll NEVER happen.) not to mention peace and motivation. May god bless Tomas Harris for creating him.

There are a few I look up to all for different reasons.

My twin sister. She is my everything and while she's a pain sometime she's a wonderful person. She loves people with all her heart, no matter who they are and what other people think. She has a way with animals like I've never seen too. She lives in my shadow a great deal but I just know she has it in her to shine on through. I love her so much.

My mum has depression. When she's off her medication, or needs a higher dose she can get really mad. Like throwing things and screaming then jumping in the car and going, no mention of where she'll be. It scares me and I hate her for it but I love her all at the same time. It's so confusing. This has only happened a few times before and for the rest of the time she's just like a normal mum. Everything she does inspires me. Her depression is not the reason she inspires me, but it does make what she does even more amazing. She's amazing.

There's this girl at school who I know from band. She's two years older than me but we're pretty good mates. She is everything I want to be. She's smart, an exceptional musician but above all she's an even better person. She graduates this year, I'm going to miss her so much.

My music teacher at school inspires me. She's a lovely person and so caring. She goes above and beyond the call of duty to make sure everyone of her students is okay. I can talk to her about anything. When I grow up I want to be a music teacher just like her.

Finally, my friends. I know every girl goes on about how great their friends are but mine are truly special. The majority of us have been friends since grade 1, which was almost 10 years ago! We've never fought. We're so tight, we're practically sisters. When we reached high school together (year 8) we met some more amazing people and now in year 10 I have the greatest group of girls and guys who love me and I love them. I know they'll be there forever and each one inspires me for some reason or another.

I'm almost ashamed to say that I admire Oprah. She talks about how soon into her career she started a gratitude journal. She would think of 5 things each day that she was grateful for and then write them down. She said that it was a struggle at first but that eventually this practice changed her life. It's very evident to me that being grateful brings happiness and seems to bring the best of life to those who are.

My psiberaunt, who has a lot of physical problems, yet is smart, cheerful and a wonderful friend, artist and writer and even after reaching her fifties keeps learning and is not ashamed to admit her mistakes.

My martial arts teachers and classmates, who teach me not to give up, to be patient and do my best.

My dad, for his healthy eating.

My grandma, who at 93 still smiles all the time and puts makup on every morning.

Myself... because I've been through a lot of **** but I'm still going on, and I've gone through it almost completely alone.

My mom, who always put on a brave face for me an my brothers, before she died of cancer, and taught me that all I have is what I know and what I can do, and that money won't get me ahead in life: study and hard work will.

My boyfriend, who taught me to love again and has given me his unconditional love in spite of my many mistakes.

Well i really am inspired by Celine Dion. She is an amazing woman and in spite of the fact of Being an international megastar she isn't afraid to go and give back to the poor and to her fans and the ill. She doesn't forget her background.

My cousin, but she died. She had been through so much in her life, and always kept her head high. When she died, it was terrible. I felt like I had lost a best friend. And the worst part is, the coroner, nor police, nobody will tell us how she died, and it's been 2 years this summer.

my 17 year old brother. he's like a role model. everything he does makes me love him even more. he's always been there for me & when i need him, he won't back down no matter how tough it is. he likes to make fun of me alot, but the only reason he does this is to cheer me up somehow, haha

My best friend. She's only a year older than me. But she has doesn't do anything bad besides say 'bad' words. Her parents trust her and she has great fashion.

My Vice priceipal cause she used to be one of my teahcers....where really close
