------------------------------------------------------------
I admire Suzi because she is funny and nice to everyone. She never yells and is a great at horseback riding. She is so good that she could go to the Olympics if she wanted to. She taught me how to ride and is like my second mother. The other thing that I like about her is that she owns 2 barns and has over 20 animals. She is what I want to be when I grow up.

I admire Sarah Bernhardt because she never gave up doing what she loved. She started acting when she was very young, and didn't stop until she died. She kept on acting even with one leg amputated, and when she was very sick. She perservered baecause she loved to act, and she didn't feel sorry for herself.

The following justification was sent on Sun 14 Jul 96:

------------------------------------------------------------

I think she is very brave because she came down with cancer and did not want to tell the rest of the family so as not to spoil a family reunion. She suffered for long time and was in a great deal of pain until her death in June 1995. I think that not telling the rest of the family until after was very thoughtful of her.

I admire my Dad because he always helps me out. He helps me out on computer stuff. Just now I had to do a book project for Halloween. He helped me build a real stone fort out of rock and mortar! I also think my Dad is really brave. He has took us on a drive when it was really slippery and we just about fell off the road! My Dad thought it was fun!
