Mine is my sister Angela.
She is ten years older than me, a mother of two. I have been her roomate twice. She has an MBA in Business from Washington University, shes a liscensed dietician, and shes finishing a degree in Healthcare Administration.
She was always someone ive looked up to. She has taken me in when I was in Graduate school and as a faculty member at Missouri State.
As far as people we couldnt be more different. She is a staunxh Republican and voted for Trump. Shes a gun owner, has an AR-15 and goes shooting in semi-professional competitions. She goes to church, obviously I dont. But when it comes to integrity, honesty, and decency, there is just no one who I could ever respect more.
My sister is my hero, and I dont want to be her, I dont want her life and I dont agree with her politically, but I respect how she lives. I have directly improved my life because of her.
We are half siblings. We come from a very diverse family in which my brothers are musicians who have a different dad, I am my dads only child, Angela never knew her dad until she was in her mid 30's and my other sister Ronda is Native American and adopted.
As you can tell, I am inspired very much by diversity.
