I'm just curious!

For the following you will think of a person you know, have read about, or know about from pop culture who has led a life that you truly admire (positive role model). How has this person made a difference in your world? Describe their impact on family, community, or country in a short paragraph. You may write an account of that person or interview them and transcribe the interview.

My judo instructor is awesome at teaching us how to grapple, but she's also very supportive in other areas of our lives. She's understanding and can almost always magically sense when something is wrong or bothering one of us. Whenever she senses that one of us is having an issue in another part of our life, she lets us take longer breaks and offers to talk if we need someone to listen. Once when I was going through a rough time, she encouraged me to just hang in there and survive, and I'm so thankful for that because the support I got from others at the time was one of the only reasons I could look forward to the next day.  She motivates us to do our best not just in judo, but outside of martial arts as well, and she encourages many of us to go out there, branch out, and explore what we want to do in life. I know many others in my judo class who decided to enter a film competition or try a new painting style or even travel to a place they've never been before because of her encouraging words. So yea, that's her, helping us with judo and life in general.
