1. Roald Dahl
Born in the UK in 1916 Roald Dahl is one of the best story tellers in the world. His works include classic hits such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The BFG, James and the Giant Peach and so much more. His stories are adventurous, mysterious and sometimes dangerous. his writing style is unique, and he is always able to hold my attention and take me to a world far away.
Robby Novak, who plays Kid President has a pretty amazing story. He has brittle bone disease which has caused him to have an incredible amount of broken bones, fractures and surgeries in his 12 years of life. His brother-in-law was impressed by his overly positive attitude and started filming him, creating Kid President. All he wants to do is make the world a better place and dance!
3. Mother Teresa
I think Mother Teresa is pretty high on most people's list of inspiring people. A nun and missionary, Mother Teresa lived most of her life in Calcutta, India. She served the poorest of the poor, building orphanages, hospitals, If you don't know much about Mother Teresa I suggest you research her, she is one of the most selfless person in the world.
4. Shane Claiborne
Shane (an Eastern University Grad, GO EU!) is a Christian activist and author. He worked with Mother Teresa for a short time and now is the leader of The Simple Way in Philadelphia. He is known for advocating non-violence and serving the poor.
