My history teacher from last year because he dares to know more than me.

Oh gosh..were do I even start I hope you have a couple of hours:):)LOL:P I will narrow it down to most recent inspirations. 1. My world Religions Professor. As an assignment we had to go visit 2 religions that were not our faith. I was raised Catholic so I visited a Jewish Synagogue and a Hindu Temple. and just when I thought I knew everything when it came to religion..Snap..no I didn't. It was a Great learning experience and very awakening. 2.I just had to do a 10 page report of Eleanor Roosevelt..what a amazing women. My favorite quote of hers is "women are like tea bags, they don't know their strength till they are in hot water"LOL:) I feel like that sometimes..LOL:) 3. I just watched a documentary on Albert Einstein..Wow!! I will probably never be that intelligent. But when your doing something you love..you don't care..you just excell at it:) and to keep this short... 4. My Great grandmother who passed away yesterday. But she always said that she feels that she has lived a full and happy life and she was not afraid to go. she has said that for the past 20 years, she was 92 when she passed away. My daughter was blessed to know her great great grandmother. she was never afraid to die..she actually was just waiting till the Lord was ready.

Yes, my mother.. Knowing that she watches me from up above makes me work harder to be a better person ..

No. It is not extrinsic..whatever "inspiration" moves me, and I'm not sure I've ever been "inspired", it is from within, not without! :)

My Grandfather who has been dead for many years. He was my guide and my hero.I wrote a little poem about him and would share it with you. Grandfather Clock Tick Toc you can talk Chiming every hour Each day marked at midnight Bedtime stories told The years have come and gone Centuries have passed Yet faithfully you speak History lessons for the days to come Pendulum swings quietly Motions of the passing day Smooth action of gears Passing the time away Talk to me again this day Your voice so welcome Your history enlightens Never a winding required Grandfather clock ; clock of my grandfather He has passed away in body Yet his movement in time Perpetual Marc Kostner Oct.5/2000

No, although I do admire many people for their intellect and perseverence. What inspires me to higher levels of learning is knowledge itself. I just love to KNOW! : ))

My father went from us a long time ago, he is still my inspiration
