My oldest brother. He would always stand by me no matter what. I always feel so at ease with him that I can tell him anything. He would never judge me. He is very ill with diabetes and no matter how horrible he is feeling, he always find time to call me and find out how I am doing. Through this difficult time in his life, he is being strong enough to think of others, which makes me realize that my issues are quite petty compare to his.

That would be my brothers, they are younger than I am, but when I watch them and see the way they look at the world it reminds me not to lose that childish innocence.
They don't yet have a grip on history so they can't properly identify race and such issues so they do not discriminate. They are insatiably curious about everything and anything and discover new things everyday, I find that so charming. Sometimes I even wish that I could see so many things in a new and brilliant way as they do.
They don't carry the assumptions older people have about others, and they don't judge people as they don't know how. They are not afraid to ask for help when they need it and acknowledge when they are wrong and in so doing remind me of what I once was.
Second to them are all the great poets and scientist that ever lived and anyone who words ever inspired me to do good.

Probably my younger brother. I'm the oldest of 3, and I reference the middle one. He regularly surpassed me in academics and athletics in school. He is both bigger and more fit than I was then and am now. He is the only person I've ever felt competitive with and a lot of what I think and believe now came from things and ideas I came across while trying to catch back up to him. I have since let go of my competitiveness with him, but I would not be who I am today if it weren't for him.

2 people spring to mind:
1. My English teacher, who taught me to spell. Being able to spell has influenced my life considerably.
2. Lance Armstrong - Anyone who survives cancer and then wins the Tour de France 7 times deserves admiration. He has inspired me so much and what he has achieved will inspire many people who suffer from cancer. The message is clear 'there is always hope'.

The first-hope not last-person to have truly inspired me was a former teacher of mine at uni. She had a tremendous sense of humour, great world wisdom, admirable self-reliance and confidence combined with sensitivity and a certain touch of virtue that added something of a nobility in her character; a charming personality, indeed.

And that will be my sweet dad:)I used to think he is God, not anymore, i still have the reverence when i am in front of him..He used to drink a lot(again, not anymore) and he was really rough with me and my brother..Especially when was about lessons and homework..He used to stay with my history book in his hands, and i had to tell the lesson, every fuckin' word..But, he was there, he didn't went with his glass of wine or beer, forgetting about us, he cared and he wanted us to become something, to be something more than he was...On the other side, my mother was never day, so i had to do what he said, everytime..He had children, he raised them with a lot of roughless, but he raised three smart children, with schools, with a lot of pride and with a life code like anybody else, taking every stuff he was giving us, even bad stuff...We learn what's good and what's bad, we learn to work from him..Thank you , DAD..

My 13 year old daughter, she gives me a reason to be the best I can be. When I am gone I want her to remember me as a good person. Who was honest about things even mistakes that i am not proud of. As someone she can depend on. and respect.

two people really:
1. my English teacher in 3rd year at school. He introduced me to Ray Bradbury and my love of the English language grew from there. I was also in love with him. Turns out he got sacked for having it off with a pupil. lucky b*tch!
2. My tutor in History of Art at Uni. He instilled such a passion for Art that's never left me. I also was in love with him. Is there a pattern here????

My Dad, he always had an answer for any question I asked, he never fobbed me off. And he always time for me, we used to sit up all night talking about anything and everything. I wish everyone could have had a dad like mine. He taught me to believe in myself and to always be willing to listen and learn, and never to let anything stop you from doing what you want.
