Poliically, it would be Ronald Reagan. He was a great communicator and he brought people together for the common good. He was tough but also approachable, rational, and logical. He inspired people with his optimism and his courage. He not only wanted to heal the American economy but to protect individual liberties. He was determined to remove barriers so individuals would be encouraged to contribute to society, find their purpose and achieve their dreams. Personally, it would be my grandparents, my parents, and several wonderful educators. Through their example, I witnessed the strength of their belief in God and strong faith. They were all role models for a strong work ethic and provided understanding that we are part of something bigger and have a role to play.
