My brother Greg. He always took care of his younger brothers, he was a beach lifeguard and the captain of the HS wrestling team. He was so cool.

Even though saying something like "I most admired my hardworking parents and wise grandparents as a child" is expected, I am breaking that tradition. I did not admire my parents when I was growing up. I looked to them for money and shelter and maybe a bit of advice (that I never followed). I definitely never admired my grandparents; I saw them all as insane old people who gave me lame birthday presents. Really, grandma, cat pajamas? I'm pretty sure I admired Disney princesses and supermodels as a little girl. And Britney Spears..definitely admired her.

Growing up I didnt really understand much of what was going on around me. My mother really wanted me to be smart and like other children. Somtimes she beat me. My father stood up for me and wanted me to be able to succeed at whatever I possibly could. Norma, my sister, she was more loved by my mother because she was normal and smart. So I guess as far as my family went, I admired my dad for sticking up for me. Charlie Rupp

My mother, genocide survivors,and probably several bands and singers I can't really think of right now.

Thanks, Tom. I'm still big, not so ripped, and still like to wrestle people though good wrestling opportunities rarely present themselves anymore.
