List 100 people I admire

I admire Walter Disney the founder of Disney productions and the first ever man to make a film for the cinema.Here is why…

He never gave up or let the fame go to his head,
He always supported his family through it all,
He designed the greatest ever film company and theme parks.

So is that enough…
Next time you see Snow White remember it was Walt Disney who made that and it was the first ever film, (before this cinemas showed news reports for those who didn’t have a tv).

Joe Delaney was a running back for the Kansas City Chiefs. He was also husband and father of three daughters. In 1983 he died in Louisiana trying to save three children from drowning in a large water hole left by construction. He saved one child. He chose to save three children he did not know while knowing he couldn’t swim. . The 37Forever Foundation was founded in his honor to help the American Red Cross provide swimming lessons to underprivileged children. Since his death no other Kansas City Chief has worn number 37. His name is also included in the Ring of Honor at Arrowhead Stadium.

Diane Warren is one of the most profilic songwriters in America. She is a self-taught musician and singer who continued to fight for her dreams despite rejection, money struggles and objections from family.

My mom.
She is amazing. She’s my inspiration, my example, my protection, my everything. She is one of my best friends. I do not know what I’d do without her, all I can say is that being a 17 year old would have been much harder without her. I love her dearly. <3

Patrick Henry Hughes is a member of the University of Louisville marching band. Patrick was born blind and with a condition that crippled his limbs. Patrick is in wheelchair at a a young age he leared to play music by ear. He has mastered the piano and plays trumpet in the marching band. His father Patrick John helps him march by pushing his wheelchair on the football field.

Okay, I just found out about his amazing story. And no, not from Lenora who posted about him under this goal too.

I think his story is so amazing. He had such a positive attitude when he was battling Leukemia and he still manages to keep up with his carreer.

A movie called “dear jack” is coming out soon (hopefully) about his battle with Leukemia.

I think his song “Katie” is amazing not just because it’s my name but because it sheds so much light onto my day. <3

the sunshine’s been missing but Katie, don’t believe it isn’t there. <33333

Oh, and JACK’S MANNEQUIN FOREVERRRR!

:P

If his name doesn’t sound familiar to you, Matthew Bellamy is the lead singer and lyricist for the fantastic British rock band, Muse.

Not only does he sing, write, and play guitar, he is also a stunning pianist. I have been overflowing with inspiration these past few days, just watching the genius at work. Just search his piano solos on YouTube, and you’ll know what all of the fuss is about—it’s absolutely breath takingly brilliant to watch. After viewing every possible clip of his piano-playing, I’ve literally stood up from the computer and gone to practice piano. Now, if that isn’t inspiration, I don’t know what is…

I’ll admit that I just got into Muse this year, but I feel like I’ve been a fan of them forever. There isn’t one song that doesn’t make me stop, listen, and just admire their musical ingenuity. I admire how most of Matthew’s lyrics are quite simple, yet they’re still written very, very well, and despite their simplicity, they’re usually written about complicated/deeper topics.

I would put all of the members of Muse on this list, but I just felt that Matthew Bellamy was the most prominent one of them all, inspiration-wise. Out of all of their albums, at the moment Absolution is my favourite— however, there isn’t one Muse album that I don’t love. They’ve explored countless nooks and crannies of possibilities for their music, all while sounding absolutely amazing.

Matthew Bellamy and Muse never fail to leave me absolutely speechless. I love every one of their songs, and will forever regret the day that they came to my city and I failed to buy the tickets in time!
