There are so many people that I wish I could meet, especially those who have made substantial contributions to society and the world. However, there are numerous ones, who are great entertainers that I wish I could have the opportunity and pleasure of meeting. I would love to have met Martin Luther King Jr. With his courage and determination, he changed the views and opinions of many people, and also changed society to what it is today. Obviously, he didn't do this alone, but I feel Martin Luther King Jr. had the greatest impact. He conducted marches and speeches to prove a point. It seemed that he never let anything hold him back or keep him from doing what he felt he needed to do and also what needed to be done. It would have been amazing to have been alive during the civil rights era, to hear him speak and also to have the opportunity to march side by side him. I feel that it would have total different feeling. I mean its different to read about it, but to actually be there and witness these prominent events would have a major impact on oneself. If I got to talk with him one on one I don't even know what I would say. I think that Martin Luther King Jr. is one of the greatest people that have ever lived, and his legacy continues to live throughout the world. However, he did make it apparent to me that if you want something go for it, if you feel something isn't right don't sit back but do something about it. He taught me to always have courage and determination and with that I should always succeed.
And so it is.
