Admired Character: Mr. Takacs, Principal of Ligon Middle School
The following justification was sent on Thu 25 Jan 96:

We admire him because he has done a lot for Ligon Middle School. He has been a great principal, as well as a great role model to all the students and teachers at Ligon. If he was not the principal for the school, things would be very different and not as enjoyable. He has guided lots of people through tough times. He has made people see our school in a different yet super way! He always keeps us safe and comfortable with our school. He is always making jokes and cheering people up.

Admired Character: Jesus
The following justification was sent on Fri 23 Feb 96:

I admire this person because he is perfect, and he loves me more than anything. He died on the cross for my sins. That's some kind of love don't you think? I want to be just like Jesus, but of course nobody's perfect. I can sure try. I can't wait until I get to meet him someday. I will in heaven. I'll tell him I think he's the best person and friend. I'll tell him thanks for everything he did for me while I was still living. If you don't know Jesus maybe you should get to know him. He's really cool, and he'll help you if you ask for help.
