My wife asked me a simple question today, "Who do you admire, and think does and does an amazing job to better help the world?". I was kind of shocked, because i never really thought about it, and my first thought was the armed forces, i mean seriously, they make us all feel safe, knowing they put their lives on the line for ours. And also the men and women of our fire dept. and police dept. But for me to say who i really admire, and think make the biggest differences, i would have to say the doctors and nurses, who after spending a lot of money and time to learn their trade, have gone to countries that have little to no actual health care, and work for peanuts, just to make sure the less fortunate have basic necessities we take for granted on a daily basis....

So my question to you is, what is your answer to the question my wife posed to me....
 
My Uncle for sure! He was on the Navy for 10+ years and been through much war. Hes 70 years old and looks like he is 50 lol. He also holds his school/top state record in athletics for track. He also failed all his classes BUT he scored near 100% on all his tests. I'd say hes a guy I admire.
 
I'd have to say my mom. She raised me and my brother on 7.50 an hour. And workes so hard to make mine and my bros life as good as possible. My dad was a failure as a dad and doesnt do anything for me so.
 
Sorry to here that :(

Dont be sorry for me. His fault he doesnt know how to manage his life. I hate him anyways. Im moving on with my life i dont need him. PLus my mom is going back to college and getting a better education so we are doing good for a 3 person family.

:D
 
I'd have to say my big brother, he was'nt a cool guy or the the best brother in the world nor did he help the world in anyway.

But whenever I needed help he was always there, me I was the sort of geek the weaklen in the family but any time I needed him to back me up in a fight or just be there for me he was there.

Hes my big brother and we are strong together, since he died you can'nt help but feel weak and depressed. I'm not a religious man or anything but I do think hes some how with me and wants me to live on be strong.. which is very hard might I add but I am managing.

Yea sure hes not an all Amercain hero or even Amercain for that matter, we are Canadain, he did'nt save people from a burning building or save the cat stuck on the tree but this I know.. he would have without hestiating for a second because hes just that kind of guy.

Alot of people admire people like Jackie Chan or Al Pacino but to me my brother is my personal hero, that's all I have to say about that.

Sorry to make this into a drama replie but it's something I need to do.

No dood, that was great. I really like what you wrote, i wish i could have met your brother...Sounds like a person i would have been proud to call my friend.
 
I admire my wife for putting up with me.

I mean that with 100% seriousness.
