The best Christmas present I have ever received was an Alabama Football hat signed by Amari Cooper. The reason is is because he was the best college football player to ever play the game of football. Cooper was very educated, on top of that he never got in trouble. Cooper was very respectful, he is something everyone like me can look up to, everybody on the team looked up to him.
Amari never forgot where he came from. When he played, he made every player around him better, he a role model, and even a leader. He broke a lot of different records for the tide. Amari also won a national championship. Cooper fell short of two from the Heisman Award, but he was still the best.
He took care of his family, he likes to give back to his community, Amari
While at the University of Mississippi, Cooper was diagnosed with spinal stenosis. This ended cooper's dreams of playing football and had a big impact on the family. Peyton used this to ensure he’d make it for his brother. He eventually did and is now one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. This determination and activity in the communities around him is why Peyton Manning is an amazing role model and someone to look up to. This is why I picked him as my second person. Peyton is a prime example of what a leader and a good person looks

History furnishes few examples of daring and adventure comparable to those of the fur trappers and hunters of the Great West. Jedediah Strong Smith was a was a clerk, frontiersman, hunter, trapper, author, cartographer, and explorer. Known for his great contributions for travel, he and his fellow trappers were the forerunners of advancing civilization in the West. They explored the regions west of the Mississippi, from the confines of the Arctic ocean in the North to the borders of Mexico in the South. All without government protection, they traversed through perilous mountain ranges filled with savage foes. Canoed over uncharted waters, and only narrowly escaped. Jedediah’s adventures were often never recorded, and credit was given to those men years after the trail was discovered. Jedediah is the real mountain man we all owe credit to.

These qualities that Manning has influenced many mom’s to make their child’s name Peyton (Jenkins and Kaplan). This is a hint that many people adore Manning and look up to him as a role model both on and off the field. Manning has a pretty good role model himself, his idol is his father (“Peyton”).

A father’s role in Native American society, plays a large role in their son’s identity. A father is viewed by their child as the “hero” or a great role model.

In Sherman Alexie’s works, we see different father roles, both good and bad, and the effect it eventually has on their son’s.
Robert Adam (1728–92) was one of the most important British architects working in the Neo-classical style and was a main force in the development of a unified style that extended beyond architecture and interiors to include both the fixed and moveable objects in a room. He was a essential Scottish neoclassical architect, interior designer and furniture designer of his century. He incorporated design ideas from ancient Greece and Rome into his forms and decoration. His famous London houses include Kenwood House, Osterley Park and Syon House. Robert Adam developed the "Adam Style", and his theory of "movement" in architecture, based on his studies of antiquity, by contrasting room sizes and decorative schemes.
