Aree Herring Eng. 101(Wed.2-5) Sept. 16,2009 Paper #1 Style: Description ` You may come across a few people who may inspire you in some point and time of your life. I believe everyone can use inspiration and use it to changethier lives in some aspect. For me i've found that one who has inspired me in many ways. He is an awesome man not only is he my inspiration he is my best friend and his name is Corey. I met Corey while walking on a beautiful day in May of 2008 down Main street in my hometown of Beacon. That was the day that my life was going to change for the good, without me knowing it. Without his inspiration I believe I would not have accomplished most of the things I have today.` ` Although he stands at a intimidating6ft 5in. he's a slim cuddly giant. His colossal stauture doesn't scare me one bit. Corey is the type of person who you can come to with any and everything without judgement. Not only does he not judge you, he gives you his honest opinion whether you wantto hear it or not. Which can sometimes hurt but it's what you need to hear at that time. It could be 3am and he's asleep and has to get up at 6am and be to work at 7:30am and your having a problem he's there to listen and give you advice.` ` Corey has inspired my life in many ways. He started by showing me that I could live a drug and alcohol free life and still have a great time. He knows this first hand because he plays basketball and he doesn't smoke nor drink and still lives an exceptional life. Sohere I am drug and alcohol free, and living a great life. He has also made me appreciate the life I live as a single mom to a 3 year old boy named Jah'mere. Before meeting Corey I felt like giving up on motherhood. I was overwhelmed with being all alone taking care of a then 1 and 1/2 year old. In my opinion I was a great mom but I wanted more for my son and Corey made me realize that I was doing everything in my power to be a great mom. He pointed out that I had already

    A Long Walk to Water is an inspirational story written by Linda Sue Park. I relate to this story because as Salva made his long, tiring journey he had inspiration from family and friends. His friend Mariel who helped him make progress towards Ethiopia. Sadly, his friend was taken by lions while they slept. Also Salva’s uncle gave him inspirational words which helped him through not only the walk but the rest of his life.Uncle also perished due to war. People like that also exist in my life. My parents, coaches, and friends inspire me to keep on going and push past my limits to achieve what I’ve been searching for.

    The first quote that really motivated me was Joan Didon’s quote "Was it only by dreaming or writing that I could find out what I thought?" This really inspired me to think past of who I am as a writer and how I bring myself to the page with my strengths and weaknessess. For me the greatest part of writing is daydreaming and witnessing the transformation I go through when dreaming the dream of my story until it breaks out of the writing down of it which I always find hard.…

    I took a stroll off campus through the direction I have walked the many times I decide to accompany my friend to work. The Three Links Campus is widespread across the right side of Forest avenue road, existing in it’s own little world in Northfield. It’s isolated yet surrounded. Isolated in the way it stands out from the many common residence homes on the left of the road, and the way it’s white short fences silently beg you not to trespass. Yet it is a world that holds the world of so many others. Old people come to live or to die there, that much I know.…

    It is full of inspiring quotes. For instance, he says, "I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed." (563; par. 4) There should not be a standard of success to measure, as each one of us is uniquely individual. The truth is we struggle everyday in the very different ways. Another time, in his effort to get to the school, he says, "I resolved to let no obstacle prevent me from putting forth the highest effort to fit myself to accomplish the most good in the world."

    “What one man can do another man can do” is a famous quote spoken by Sir Anthony Hopkins in the movie The Edge. This line has always fascinated, inspired, and motivated me to continue forward in moments of adversity. Fortunately, there are many people whose lives are an example of what can be accomplished. Although that list may be long, three stand out to me: Pablo Popovitch, submission wrestling world champion and my teacher, Arnold Schwarzenegger, former Mr. Olympia, Hollywood leading man and current Governor of California, and His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, The Head of Tibetan Buddhism.…
