A person I look up to would be Cristiano Ronaldo, who is a football player for Portugal. I have been following him from a very young age. I have seen him on TV playing football. I was a very big fan of Real Madrid, the club where he used to play at that time. After I watched him play football, it was astonishing to see him do things that other players couldn't do. It was amazing that someone without any natural skill, just through sheer hard work, can achieve so much more in life. It has inspired me quite a lot from a very young age. His hardworking qualities and his punctual energy towards his work have always inspired me. I would like to have these types of skills in me. I have followed him for these reasons, and I want to do good things in my life like he did and always be one step ahead of everybody.
