Since we were young, many of us have had inspirations. Inspirations can come in different forms such as a creative or even human. Creative inspirations can cause us to try new things. People can have an influence on us to pursue things such as our dreams, or they can also inspire us to try new things.

“When it comes to athletes, my biggest inspiration is definitely Lebron James,” athlete Connor Self said. “He works really hard and he isn’t afraid of anything. He also has a lot of confidence both on and off the court.”

Having an inspiration creates positive effects on us, such as making us want to become successful. It can be a professional athlete, or it can even be something as simple as one of your parents or a sibling.

“My biggest inspiration is probably my grandfather. He inspires me to work hard every day, and after that hard work is done, I often find myself having success. Watching movies also occasionally inspires my creativity,” sophomore Antonio Cabello stated.

When people do great things, we often want to be great as well. Whether you’ve wanted to take on a new hobby such as playing music or trying a new sport, achieving our goals gives us a sense of gratitude. It also gives us purpose when we look back on what we’ve accomplished, and it creates a lot of happiness.

“Ty Wells is one of my biggest inspirations. He always worked so hard and put so much time into the sport he loved, and he also helped other players become better” student Kaleb Hinrichsen said.

Studies show that when we have inspirations, it can change our lives completely. They can give us certain character traits, and they can change things like how we live our lives daily. Having inspirations makes us enjoy life when we accomplish our goals that we’ve been working hard at for a long time.

“I think inspirations have a huge impact on our lives. For me personally, they give me someone to look up and guide me,” Self explained.
