Hi guys. It was good to chat today after the long winter holiday break, and I also enjoyed the souvenirs – yummy! Okay, in today’s homework – which is our last blog homework – I’d like you to write about someone you admire... someone you look up to... your role model.
Especially since reading his first book “Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance” I have really come to admire Barack Obama. I think that his journey, from a young man unsure of his own identity to a man so passionate and committed to changing society for the better is just amazing. I really respect him for being so open about his life and experiences so far, and I think his down-to-earth attitude will make him a true “people’s president”. And I really admire the fact that he seems to genuinely care about the situation of people in hardship and of small communities, and that he is not self-centered and just in the game for the money and power. He seems to have a lot of ideas for enacting change and uniting divided sections of the community, and I’m really looking forward to his next four years (hopefully eight) as president.
Okay, so now it’s your turn. Who do you admire, and why? I’m looking forward to reading your responses.
See you in next week’s class – our last class!!
