Thoreau - for sharing his simplicity and his love of the natural world around him, Angelina Jolie - for her unbelievable humanitarian spirit and being able to show the world that you can change things for the better (if you really want to...BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN OTHER PEOPLE!!), The Dalai Lama, and most importantly my Grandma Morgan - she raised 5 kids on her own while holding down two, sometimes 3 jobs and they all grew up to be good, decent members of society. She has devotion, perseverance, determination, love, faith, and joy. She's everything I'd like to be.
