...A person who I admire A person who I admire is an interesting topic. I believe you can admire more than one person. A typical admiration I have seen is when people boy, are admiring a very famous singer, actor etc. although it is typical, it is still a good admiration because you can use that person as your role model or idol. Fx. If your role model is a sportsman, then you can admire his performing skills, and maybe learn something from him or her. But trough my life I have admired many persons, friends, older people, teachers, etc. All these people have given me experiences and personal abilities which I have acquired with help from them. My opinion is that I cannot admire one person specially. When I admire someone I respect the person’s character. After my experience I also admire someone when I am in his presence. A person who can change a bad day to a good day, fx my mother. My mother is defiantly one of my top 3 list over admired persons. Just imagine without your mother you would not exist. Everyone should admire how housemothers are struggling to raise there children’s. I am indeed of her proud of my mother, it is because of her that I am that what I am today. When I always have been in a bad mood my mother opened up my minds to look at things in a different perspective. Fx when I has had a problem she shared her experiences with me and learned me to tackle every situation. Another important person who I likes to admire is my father. A father and a mother is an admirable...

...Jessica Guzman November 7, 2013 I admire her the most……… For me admiring someone is the act of looking at someone with approval, respect, and even love. As we grow older, we find someone we look up to and admire. The person I admire the most is neither world famous nor a multimillionaire. I save my admiration for a special woman, my mother. Who as I grew older has taught me many things in life, those in which have helped me in many situations till this day. My mother has showed me more than I could see in the world. She’s the reason why I keep going despite all the challenges. Because of her I am who I am today. I can certainly sit here and write you a whole book about the many qualities I admire about her. Above all my mother holds the qualities necessary for her to be someone I admire. Her strength has taught me how to overcome the obstacles I face day by day. Her motivation has inspired me to complete tasks I thought I couldn’t accomplish. Lastly I admire the way my mother cares selflessly for others and the ability to make someone smile despite any personal difficulties. An important quality I admire about my mother is her strength. I grew up with a single mother that was both a mother and a father to me. I never really focused on not having a dad around; it wasn’t as important as having our mom, who was always there for us. No matter how hard it was for her at times she always found strength. Strength, to be able to help her daughters whenever they needed something...

...Someone That I Admire In life we all have that one person that we look up to. We all have that one person that we idolize or worship for that matter. In life we all have that one person that we admire. The one person that I look up to, the one person that I worship and the one person that I admire more than anything in this world is no one other than my mother. When I just sit and think of everything that she has done for me and all of the times she has been there for me I can honestly say that I am truly blessed to have her in my life. She is truly the definition of a real mother. My mother is the best in my eyes. She has been there for me since day one on this earth. If there was any problem that I ever had she was always there to solve them with me. If there was anything that I ever needed she would see to it that I got it. She is my number one supporter in my life and she always keeps it real with me no matter what which is one of things I admire about her. She doesn’t sugar coat anything, she just tells it like it is and I love that about her. My mother keeps it 100. She tells you exactly what you need to hear and not what you want to hear which is how it should always be. Honesty truly is the best quality in my mother’s eyes and you can always expect nothing but the truth from her. I admire my mother for several reasons so many that I can’t even name them all in this essay. She was there for my brothers and I when we needed someone most. She was there when we had nowhere...

...The person I admire Movie stars and singers, who make a lot of money and are famous, are admired by teenagers. However, they don’t even know the person or their personality. To me admiration is a kind of respect. But there aren’t a lot of people in this world who demand this sort of respect from me. My mother is the only person who has entered my life and made me look at things differently. The first reason why I admire my mother is because she teaches me about experience. Experience is what you learn as you go through your life. As a child, you always learn that people are really nice and generous. That is not true. As you step into the real world, you will see the a person’s real face and all difference schemes, plan to make them success.[I don't understand what you are trying to say here] This happened to me when I was in sixth grade. When my class had a test and my friend did not know the answer , she asked me what the answer was and I told her what the answer was but when I had a problem and I asked her, she never answered me. Instead she said she didn't know or she that she hadn't got there yet. I was really upset and unhappy but as I have from my mother, I understand why my friend did that and I let it go more easily. She took care of her children first before she took care of herself is the second reason why I admire my mother. Taking care of a person is not easy, and taking care of yourself at the same time is even harder. My mother always takes care of me...

...A person I admire A person I really admire is a friend of mine whom I have known for what seems forever. He has several astonishing qualities, which makes him qualified for this assignment. The main reason is that he inspires me to be a better person on a daily basis by setting a brilliant example. What I especially admire him for is his compassionate and loving nature, his ability to stay positive in hectic and frustrating situations. Some people might be annoyed by the fact that he is very gorgeous and handsome as well as insanely clever; but the significant thing is he isn’t arrogant or self-centered. Therefore it’s impossible to hate him and turn into a raging beast of jealousy, because I believe he has no idea how outstanding and marvelous he is. Girls who don’t know him are drawn to him because of his looks, but when you first get to know him you will explore a person who is warm, embracing and the complete opposite of superficial. He has an incredible personality and a laugh that you can hear miles away. His smile and laugh is so contagious that it’s impossible to be in a bad mood when he is around. He brightens my day with his cherry face, which reminds me of the sun; warm, big and shiny. He always tells me to look at the bottle half full, and explains that there is no point of thinking negative. If I am about to make a stupid, selfish or bad decision I think of what he would have done and I remember the importance of thinking everything...

...Whether this person be a friend, boyfriend, or even people in my classes. However through the constant changes of the people in my life there has always been a steady constant. A person who has always been there whether it be from the moment I was born or as I'm sitting on my couch writing this very paragraph. Someone who in fact has not only given advice, but helped with situations far beyond my years. The person I admire is my father, and even though we are thousands of miles away from each other, he has always been right by my side helping me think through every decision. He is inspiring and teaches me a lot of what the world can give to me if I know how to look for it. My father who was named Bret about fifty-two years ago is about six feet tall and has a graying mustache. He has dark brown hair, short of course, much like mine. My father is a baker and always came home smelling like donuts or cookie dough. His eyes are almost as blue as the sky itself and his smile will make anyone laugh with joy and love. Bret, my father, did not graduate college. But in all reality, this day in age that does not even matter anymore. He has gone so far in life and I believe this is because of all the hardship he has gone through in his life and even though the rough patches has brought him down in life from time to time, he always had a smile on and said that he will try again and again. He taught me that life will get rough and when you are at your worst, life will test you until you fight back...

...together. Vanessa shows a genuine love for children and a great devotion to being a mother. However her husband, Mark Loring, is struggling to grow up and is not ready to become a father. Film techniques used in the film to make us admire Vanessa are camera work, costume and dialogue. These techniques show us that she is the only mature and realistic adult in her marriage, her realisation that she does not need the “perfect family” to be happy and her natural mothering skills and genuine love of children. Dialogue is a verbal feature used in Juno to make us admire Vanessa. Initially we see Vanessa as cold and controlling, but as the film goes on we begin to realise that she is the only grown-up in her marriage and is having to deal with a husband who refuses to grow up. Vanessa shows great patience when she says, “Hate to interrupt the jam session.” This is how Vanessa responds to Mark after catching him and Juno playing with his guitars when they are supposed to be discussing the adoption. The adoption is a huge deal and Vanessa manages to turn a blind eye to Mark’s insensitivity, showing she is mature enough to let it go. However, at the end of the film she finally stands up for herself when she tells Mark, “Grow up. If I have t o wait for you to become Kurt Cobain, I’m never going to be a mother.” It takes a lot of courage for her to finally admit to the insecurity she has been feeling throughout the film and this demonstrates the maturity of Vanessa. The dialogue in Juno...
