Who is someone you admire, and what makes them stand out? In this Connecting Generations, Sharing Stories video, Immanuel residents, participants, and team members share the celebrities, leaders, and public figures who have inspired them throughout their lives. 

While the names span different generations and interests, the reasons behind their choices reveal striking similarities.

Participants reflect on qualities such as perseverance, compassion, humility, and talent to make a positive difference in the lives of others. Some admire individuals who overcame challenges to achieve their goals, while others are drawn to those who use their influence to serve, encourage, and uplift people around them.

As the conversation unfolds, a common theme emerges: admiration often has less to do with fame and more to do with character. These meaningful exchanges remind us that role models can shape the way we view the world and inspire us to become better versions of ourselves.
