Inspirational Figures
Young people from year 8 at Cathays High share with us who inspires them most in life:
"David Tennant inspires me the most because he is a good actor, appearing in multiple movies and television shows such as Casanova, Doctor Who (as The Doctor) and even Harry potter and the Goblet of fire (as Bartly Crouch jr). ?He is a great actor whether comedy or adventure." - Bodder
"Avril Lavigne is really inspirational. She is very pretty, writes and sings awesome songs and is a rocker." - Batoul
"I look up to Kylie Minogue because she is a really good singer and also because she does a lot for charity. She inspires me because she had cancer and she recovered. Even though she is a celebrity she didn’t pay loads of money for special treatment and she took on cancer like average people do, she took a while away from her career in Australia with her family. She didn’t make a big thing of it i.e. telling the press because she didn’t want to worry anyone, and she stayed positive the whole way through. She lost all of her hair but it didn’t make her stop being positive. Then after the treatment she managed to pull through it and carried on with her career releasing two big hits songs, Two Hearts and Wow. When she recovered she donated loads of money to cancer charities and also gave a lot of advice to women by telling them to not be afraid in telling a doctor if something is wrong. She’s really inspirational." - Katy Brough
"Crystiano Ronaldo - I like him because he plays well and he was the smallest player in the premier league, and the best football player in the world. He has the best skills and he holds a lot of records and prizes. ?He plays with Manchester United, is from Portugal and is a Christian." - Ibriham
"I look up to Pete Wentz the Fallout Boy bassist. He is a very good bassist and background singer, 30 years old, born on June 5th 1978. His full name is Peter Lewis Kingston Wentz the 3rd and he has written two books which were then published. One of them was called ‘the boy with a thorn in his side’.He has 37 tattoos and a pet bull dog called Hemmingway - he is allergic to cats. One of his best friends is Patrick Stump who is the main singer in fall out boy. He is also close friends with Brendon Urie from the band panic at the disco. He has his own clothes line and is also involved with the company DKNY jeans. Unfortunately he married Ashlee Simpson May 15th." - Elinor Llewellyn Walters
