How You Have Helped Me

What is the definition of a hero? Most of us may think of someone with supernatural powers, but the definition of a hero is much broader than what we may think. Sometimes a hero can be a person that lives next door, your local family member or even a family member. It is possible to have more than one hero. Unfortunately, not everyone has a person that they can look up to that is near by. The next best thing is an influential person in the public eye. For this reason, I feel that a celebrity should always maintain a decent image because they are influencing millions of people, whether they realize it or not. Although the performer that I admire is very groundbreaking and vulgar, my reason for admiring him is much deeper than what most people would consider. Eminem has overcome many obstacles and used them to build a bridge to success.

According to his songs, Eminem had a very rough childhood. He had an absent father and an inadequate mother. In the midst of all of this, he took a liking to rap music, but many people underestimated him because of the color of his skin. He did not allow the negativity to stop him from making his dreams come true. Eminem does not care about how other people perceive him and will say what is on his mind. Because of Eminem, I know that I must catch all the obstacles that anyone may place in front of me, and produce something wonderful our of it.

Eminem has definitely motivated me to continue to strive and climb the ladder of success. He used to be the underdog and now he is one of the leaders of the pack. Although he grew up and had to deal with harsh circumstances, he did not let his past, become his future.
