Taylor Swift 

I know this ones a bit more basic, but who doesn’t love Taylor Swift? She can honestly sing anything and everything, and she’s worked hard to get to where she is, inspiring so many people along the way. She turns her emotions into beautiful songs, songs that we can relate to (and she sounds amazing singing them, of course!)

Michelle Obama

Regardless of politics, Michelle Obama has done some amazing things for children and their education. Her support of Let’s Move!, Reach Higher, Let Girls Learn, and Joining Forces has truly helped to make a difference in children’s lives. Whether it be in supporting healthy and fit lifestyles for younger children through Let’s Move! or in promoting the education of girls all over the world with Let Girls Learn, she inspires us to make a difference to help the next generation. Personally, I am interested in working with children in my future career, and her work motivates me to try and make a difference in their lives in my own way through my work.

Lana Condor 

In my opinion, Lana Condor is a great actress, and of course I love To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (who doesn’t?!), but she’s also come so far in her career. She exudes confidence, and her style and fashion is amazing! From a young age, Condor pursued ballet and acting, and to this day she is still dedicated to achieving her goals. Condor also gives back to Vietnam and the education of girls through her scholarship for four years of high school.

Anna Sitar

If you don’t know who Anna Sitar is, then you’re probably not on Tiktok. This woman is the very definition of positivity and good vibes. I love how positive and sweet she is on the app, and her Tiktoks always make my day. She’s always trying new Starbucks drinks and buying new products to try out, and her content is just simple and enjoyable, and her smile is infectious. Definitely check her out on Tiktok!

Jenna Kutcher

Jenna Kutcher is a photographer, influencer, and model who I’ve followed on Instagram for a while now. One of the main reasons I followed her was because she modeled for the Aerie Real campaign, which I really admire. On social media, she is very transparent with her followers about her struggles and gives out advice based on her own personal experiences, which can help others going through similar situations. Plus, she posts a lot with her family and it’s so cute!

Mother Teresa

Both as a Catholic and a human being, Mother Teresa is truly inspiring to me. She’s done a lot of great work for those that are less fortunate, founding the Missionaries of Charity to help those with various medical conditions, orphans, and those living in poverty. Mother Teresa reminds me of generosity and selflessness, as well as how important it is to give back and be kind to others.

Mia Maples

Mia Maples is a Youtuber who posts a variety of videos, such as A Very Extra Wish Haul!!, Trying on AliExpress Prom Dresses!! *Huge Success* & Giveaway, and Surprising My Grandparents Transforming Their Old House to New!!. She’s always creating new and interesting content, and watching her enjoy herself and laughing throughout her videos is contagious! Her mom makes a lot of appearances in her videos, and they are constantly doing something funny, which is quite entertaining as well! Her passion for what she does and zest for life truly inspire me!

My Mom

Speaking of moms, my mom is probably the biggest inspiration to me. She’s been an amazing mother to me and my sister, worked as a part-time occupational therapist, and taken care of things around the house. She’s not one to complain or ask for much in return, but she’s always done everything she could to make sure I had everything I needed to be happy and successful. She worked very hard to get to where she is today, and I love being able to see it. I could go on for a while, but she’s truly an inspiration and role model to me and those around her, and it’s easy to see why!
