"Though I'm not sure most of what he is known for is all that admirable." Kind of disturbing, really.

Once everyone had a chance to speak, Nessa got up to get another cookie for herself before taking a seat in her beanbag chair again. "Those are some very interesting and influential figures and events. I really enjoyed hearing your stories. They were quite inspirational and I think they tell something about yourself to have chosen who or what you did to tell the class." And that always interested her to see a glimpse of unique personalities.

"One more time around the circle before we move on today," she said, her eyes moving around to each of them. "This time, I'd like you to think of a person in your life who is very inspirational to you. Perhaps someone you look up to, and tell us why. I hope you are all having a good time exploring your personal history for our term project and this relates a little back to that. This person might not be as famous as someone you mentioned earlier, but they are still every bit as important to your personal history, and in some cases maybe even more so.

"One of the people most influential in my life is my mother. She had such a love for the theater and the dramatic arts that she wanted a career in that field. She didn't always get the parts or jobs that she wanted, but she never gave up even if someone made her feel discouraged. She instilled a lot of perseverance in me and a strong work ethic. She taught me that even the supporting roles are important, without them the show cannot go on - and that can be meant in a figurative sense as well as a literal one." And now it was their turn. She looked to the student on her left and nodded for them to begin.

....

She didn't seem thrilled with his response. OH WELL. He never said anything about Voldemort being 'admirable' in the traditional sense. He was more going for powerful and influential. The dude had a HUGE sphere of influence after all.

He only half listened as his peers gave their responses, and he noted that Hady remained silent on the matter.

Hhhmmm.

The second question was one that he answered before, he was sure it had been for this class, though he supposed it might have been for another. Either way, he had written about it for his project already, and there was no need to ponder such a thing anyway.

When his turn came he supplied his response. Like many others, his was family too.

"The biggest influence on me is my mum... my adopted mum that is. She accepted me for who I was and taught me to be myself, she defended and protected me and I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for her."

He didn't need to say anything more, it was a personal thing, something he didn't think everyone needed to know.
