10A: Who do you admire or emulate?
If I admire anyone it’s my mother and it’s for a lot of reasons.
She’s strong, independent and she’s got this way of taking on the world that leaves me awestruck. Not a lot of people realise just how tough it is for a parent to raise a child by themselves with practically no support from the people supposed to care about you. My mom did it and I don’t think I’ve turned out too badly so I really admire her for that.
I know that having me ruined whatever plans she had for her life but she still had me and she gave me everything she could. Best of all, she taught me how to be myself and how to be a good upstanding human being who actually cares about people.
My mother deserves all the admiration in the world just because of who she is and what she’s done in her life.
If I try to emulate anyone it’s my uncle Keith just because of who he was and how he was. He was so honest and so genuine with everything he did that people loved him for it. He was there for me, every step of the way when my father - his brother - wasn’t.
How many guys do you know that would step in and take on the responsibility of someone else’s kid?
Keith was a stand up guy with a good heart and a fierce loyalty to the people he loved, he never let us down and he never held anything against either me or my mom for holding him back and keeping him in Tree Hill. He was my uncle but honestly he was the closest thing I ever had to a father and I’ll never forget that.
If I turn out half as well as both my mom and Keith then I’ll be a very lucky man,
