Whom I Admire:
The earth as our home is inhabited by numerous commendable people. These people are truly inspirational; they have the moral integrity that enables others to make life-altering changes within their own life. These people are known to the community as role models. Role models are individuals whom we can look upon when we are faced we self doubt. They inspire us so we are able to persevere through challenging situations in our lives. My personal role model is Christopher Reeve, the manner in which he lived his life truly is inspirational.
Christopher Reeve once played a man that everyone looked up to. He was capable of any situation brought upon him. He enforced the good in the world, he was superman. In his movie Christopher embodied the perfect person, he was able to make the world a better place. He conquered the unjust and saved the planet. When his movie premiered everyone wanted to be like Christopher, kids everywhere admired him and wished they were him. He was the perfect role model, people today still consider him the one and only superman.
Greatly handicapped from his paralysis Christopher persisted to travel and do outreach work. He joined Mr. Cal Ripken as a motivational speaker and spoke to students and encouraged to live their life to the fullest. Christopher admitted to them he cried day, he need time to say “this really sucks” but after his cry he would tell himself. “And now, forward”. He inspired everyone around him to keep on going. In 1997 Christopher was honored with as star on the Hollywood walk of fame. A week before the premiere of the star, he broke his arm and was in need of surgery. On the night of his premiere he reported being feeble, but was honored he was receiving a star. Everyone who attended the premiere saw what a courageous man Christopher was,
Although Christopher played the part of superman that is not the only reason I consider him my role model. On May 27, 1995 he fell off his horse and broke his spinal cord and paralyzed him from the neck down. Christopher was confined to a wheel chair which was powered by blowing air into a straw for the rest of his life. Christopher could have decided to stay out of public view because of this but he did not. He chose to travel the world and serve as a voice for the paralyzed in the United States. He urged the medical teams at Boston University to find a cure for his parilization. He remained confident that he would soon be able to walk again. Christopher was truly courageous throughout these difficult times, he was an example to all of us that you should keep going in spite of limitations.
Christopher Reeve passed on October 10, 2004 due to a heart attack. He was an individual many people including myself see as a role model. Christopher became a real life superman in my eyes, his courage and bravery were traits of the character he played in 1978. He affected millions of people’s lives, mostly the sufferers of spinal code injuries. His doctors only expected him to live for 7 years due to extent of his injury, he overcame this and lived for an additional 13 years where he made many great changes. Christopher Reeve will continue to be my role model.
