Ellen Degeneres represents someone who is trying to do good for the world. Many people judge her for the way she chooses to live her life, but she continues with her life trying to help people she doesn't even know. People who put other before themselves are golden and need to carry on that trait and teach that to others. That is what she does that on a day to day basis. She is very motivated by her fans and the people who write to her. Her compassion for them is what makes her act with such kindness. She is a very popular talk show hostess and millions of people from all over the United States watch her every day, appreciate and adore her loving gestures to those who are less fortunate than she is. She communicates to her audience in a way that makes them want to watch her and therefor listen to all of the very caring and important information that she has to pass on to people all over the world who understand what it is like to want love.

Madonna is not only an idol to many girls who grew up with her music, but she has become a legend due to all of her hard work, creativity and talent. Her music and fashion are two of her main motivations and her talent made her grow into the well-known artist she is today. She was known through all of the United States, and was quickly introduced to foreign countries. She was the idol of many young girls in the eighties and the girl everybody wanted to be. She began her own trend that became so popular the very styles she created has been coming in and out of our lives since the eighties. Her music is very cheerful and inspirational. She mainly focuses on boys, fashion, dancing, partying and other things of that nature, and her words were in my head as I grew up dancing and singing along to her popular music.


Cesar Chavez was like the Martin Luther King for the Mexican community of his time that was struggling with making enough money to pay for the food on their table. He was a very hard-working and brave man who anyone who is or was a son or daughter of an undocumented worker could look up to for the rights that he helped the Mexican community obtain. Cesar's main concern was for his father and everyone that he saw was working for an unfair pay. He was very selfless and never gave up, because he knew what was right, and he knew he had to do something, or no one else would. He changed the life of many undocumented workers of the United States by fighting until they were given more rights and a fair pay for the hard work that they did. Living in Logan my whole life has taught me a lot about my culture and why it is important to always be grateful for my parent's work and the work of those who helped me have a brighter future. He inspired me in many ways to help my community in any way that I can, and one of the main things that he has given me is the power to think of others before myself so that I can build a better tomorrow for those who aren't as fortunate as I am.
