Typical questions on a scholarship or college application have to deal with naming someone that you look up to, a mentor or role model. I remember always using my mom as my role model but that always seemed so generic, like everyone probably said their mom or dad or some other relative. Your assignment this week is to write about 3 people that you look up to but here is the catch:
The person you look up to must be searchable in an encyclopedia (or for technology purposes 'wikipedia').
You will need to do some formal research on each person you choose (and cite those resources in MLA format at the end of your blog). For each individual that you look up to you then need to write a paragraph of at least 200 words. Here is some advice for this assignment:
Saying that you look up to Martin Luther King Jr. because he fought for Civil Rights doesn't work for this assignment. For this creative writing assignment you must go deeper. Answer questions like:
What about this individual amazes me?
What about this individual makes me want to become a better person?
What about this individual inspires me?
How do I want to be like this individual?
Tell us what each person has done to deserve your admiration.
