Hmm... George Carlin: he was never afraid to say what was on his mind.

Rob Laidlaw. A Canadian animal activist that I know, that I think is amazing

Johnny Cash-- he conquered his drug addiction and made a loving home for his family with June.

My Mom. She battled Breast cancer, Rasied 3 wild boys, one passed away to young, She helped my dad who had 7 strokes, and she's still kicking.

For regular people I'd have to go with my dad. He did a great job raising us after my mom died and still helps me out all of the time.

For famous people I'd go with LeVar Burton. I think it's so awesome what I did with Reading Rainbow and how he continues to promote education. He's the only celebrity that I've met and talked to and I was so happy to find out how nice he was. He's also on my favorite show (Star trek TNG)
