Weekly character development question (one paragraph minimum): Which living person do you most admire?
Ayden. My parents were never much of role models, especially not after I grew up. Why would I want to be cold, detached, manipulative and cruel like my father? Or quiet, submissive and stupid like my mother, the perfect trophy-wife? My friends, they were a thousand times better family than they ever were.Â
But Ayden, he has suffered way more than anyone (much less someone as good as him) should. He has experienced a kind of pain I can’t even fathom, and yet he wakes up every day with a smile, he pours all of his pain into hard work and goes out of his way a thousand time to help those in need, never accepting more than a ‘thank you’ in return. He is brave, determinate, smart and kind. And despite it all he loves me, if that is not an admirable trait, I don’t know what that is.Â
