A movie from my childhood that continues to still be a part of my life would be The Lion King. As a little kid I loved this movie and was fascinated by the plot and characters. My mom tells me that as little kid if she ever wanted me to be quiet for a couple of hours, she would put on The Lion King. I would be glued to the TV when The Lion King came on; I was fascinated by movie and am still am today. The parts of the movie I am still fascinated with are when Simba meets Timon and Pumbaa and the last battle scene between Simba and Scar. As a little kid, I ran around the house singing the song "Hakuna Matata" over and over ago and to this day I still know the words to the song. Also, I remember the last scene where Simba and Scar fight and Simba wins in the end. As a little kid, I always remembered that the protagonist always wins and through most Disney movies this is the case. However, I am not that big of a fan of the other Lion King movies, nothing can top the original Lion King. I remember being so excited when the other Lion King movies came out but in the end I was disappointed because it wasn't the same as the original.

A celebrity that I have always looked up to or identified with was George W. Bush. As a little kid growing up I was always intrigued by politics and to this day I still am. George W. Bush was the 43rd President of the United States from 2001 to 2009. I always admired George Bush because of his faith, support for the military and love of his family. Then when I was in the 5th grade I was able to meet George Bush and I will never forget this memory. I met him because at the time my dad's uncle was president of The Food and Drug Administration (FDA). He was able to give our family a tour of the White House and it ended with meeting the person I have looked up to a while, George W. Bush.
