School: Ligon Middle
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.

Name: Stephanie Sigle
Location: Burlington, Indiana
Country: United States
School: Carroll Jr./Sr. High School
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.

Admired Character: my cousin Kelly
The following justification was sent on Tue 27 Feb 96:

My cousin Kelly is one in a million. She has no special reason to be admired; she just acts normal, almost. She was born on Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 1978. She has grown up to be the best studant in her senior class at South Middle School, and has gotten scholarships from colleges all over, just because she has a grade point average of 4.0, which she has kept since 4th grade. She is also a 1st violin in her orchestra. She is one of the reasons I wanted to play the violin. I look up to her because she has always been there for me. One time whenI was little, I spent the night at her house. There was a chance that we could have had a tornado that night. She let me sleep in her bed that night and told me that if there was a tornado, her house was so strong, not even a tornado could blow it down. I slept good that night. I try to be like her in every way I can with my school work, violin playing, and my kindness. When ever I feel that I'm not doing the best that I can do, I always look to my cousin, Kelly Jo, and say to myself, "Jenny, no one is perfect like Kelly. I can only do my best", and that's what I try to do.
