R= Eight People to Emulate

1. Jenna Robinson- I know Jenna through school and cross country and she has alopecia and she is a beautiful girl that doesn't need to hide who she is by wearing a wig. Jenna can teach us to love who we are no matter how we differ from others on the outside.

2. Gianna Rodino- Gianna was a good friend of my sister and her mom and my mom are also friends, I've known Gianna for a while and I know that she doesn't want to find out if she has the Huntington's disease because she lost one of the most important people in her life, her sister. Gianna can give strength to anyone.

3. Richard  Barton- Richard is my uncle and a few years ago he was diagnosed with stage four colo-rectus cancer. This was heartbreaking for all of us but he was the one with the positive attitude and I believe that thats what got him through all of the chemo. He has kept a level head and has been praticing positive montras. I think hes an inspiration to tell us as  bad as things get, there not that bad.

4.  Randi Peterson- Randi is my cousin and she has been through tough times with her famiy ever since she was a kid. Randi got pregnant 6 years ago and the dad left her on her own to raise a baby boy, luckly she has grown to become an amazing person and has begun to do things for herself as in get healthy and lose weight. Randi can teach us to have the strength and knowledge to overcome obsticles in life.

5.  Russ Peterson- My uncle Rusty was an alcoholic and addicted to gambeling until he was so low that he realized he needed to get help and stop. He sobered up and became a working man and restoring the relationship with his family. I think that he teaches us that if you reach your low you dont have to stay there, theres something better out there for your life.

6. Robin Williams- Is an actor in Mrs Doubtfire and this is one of my families all time favorite movies and I jsut think he portrays an amazing character with love for children and I also think that in life we need to look at the humorous side of things more often and he does that.

7. Ronni Peterson- Ronni is also my cousin and Ive always looked up to her for everything and I can't wait to go to Minnesota and visit her, she has always been one of my role models because shes sweet and has a big heart to where she loves her nephew and also sits down with my grandma with alzheimer's disease and talks to her for hours.  She is so pretty  she's just been someone I trust and want to be.

8. Rachel Ray- Rachel Ray is a very successful woman. I tihnk that she shows us power by her successes as  a chef, designer of cookware and a talk show host. I watch her and I love her giddy attitude and the way she portrays herself. Rachel can teach us to be what others may not expect.
