Anyone who has not let their surroundings dictate who they became. The poor kid in the ghetto who grew up to make something of himself. Too many people these days chalk their failure up to "oh, well that's how i grew up." That's crap. Anyone, no matter what class, religion, ethnicity, or color, can do damn near anything they want, as long as they try. Teachers too. They have an impact on every single kid that comes into their class and I think that's awesome.
