Who is your role model...

My grandfather is the one. He has always been a big part of my life, ever since I was a baby. He is and always will be my best friend and someone I know I can trust with anything. I have learned from Grandpa that it's never too late to make things right. He made a lot of mistakes as a young man: he wasn't there for his family, he drank too much (not abusive or anything, but still...), he smoked like a freight train, and he never graduated high school. Over the past 25 years, he has quit smoking and drinking, become a devoted family man, and started a very successful small business. He is VERY self-educated and knows more than most of today's people.
