What historical figure do you most identify with? I don't mean a figure whose life you look to for inspiration, or that you merely admire, but rather someone who feels like a kindred spirit.
Someone whom if you had no idea who they were, but somehow met the person, you'd connect with them.
...and please don't say Jesus as that's an easy cop-out answer. Really think about it :]

Eleanor Roosevelt. She wasn't a beauty but she had an inspiring mind. She would go trampsing all over the country for her man FDR when he was ill - and she forgave him all his affairs. Even after his death she admired his strong will and tenacity. Working at the United Nations she projected her desires for the good of the nation. I feel my life is like hers. I do what I can to make better for others and I feel me and ole Eleanor would sit down at tea and knock off a couple cups of Kentucky bourbon!
