Someone I look up to is.....(because.....)

I have shared with you one of my personal heroes. Lance Armstrong has shown many characteristics that I value and would like to include in my life as a part of me. I know if I could become more like him in the way that he showed perseverance, self-discipline and hard work, I would be a better person. He was faced with what most people would have considered impossible, and he didn't give up. He was told he would probably die from cancer, and he beat it. Then he became the best at what he enjoyed (7 times!). Even if he would have died from cancer, he would have died believing in himself and knowing he did his best. I admire him because he believes in always giving it your all, even when you are faced with the impossible.
