Duke of Hazzard

This is for you, Dylan Butler (you better be here today)!! Have you ever heard of Austin Rivers? Are you a fan? Austin Rivers is obviously one of Dylan Butler's role models. Who do you consider a role model and why? If you had a chance to meet someone famous, who would it be and why?

I don't follow basketball so no I haven't heard of him until now. I've never really thought of who my role model is, but I guess if I had to pick someone it would be my mother. Shes the strongest person I know and even though sometimes we don't get along she always keeps me going. If I had a chance to meet someone famous it would be Miranda Lambert, or Blake Shelton, or Tim Mcgraw. I would want to meet them cause there the best country singers ever!

I don't know who Austin Rivers is, I'm not sports person so it goes without saying I don't know anything sports related. So no I'm not a fan of Austin River. I don't really consider anyone to be my role model. I get all my strength and confidence from my loved ones so I don't really need a role model.I can't say I want to meet a particular famous person or not. If I do I do, if I don't I don't. It's not really one of those things ever ever thought about.

Yes I have heard plenty about Rivers and have kept up a little bit with his stats. He is a good player but I'm not a Duke fan at all. I don't consider anybody a role model because I believe you just just be yourself so I guess you could say I am my role model. I would wanna meet Bill Gates because he might give me some money or iPod or something!

I honestly do not have someone that I just want to be exactly like. I do not really believe in role models. I am the kind of person that just wants to make my own way and stand out from the rest. There are qualities in certain people that I admire, but that does not mean I want to be like them. That is just my opinion on the subject.

I have never heard of Austin Rivers until now. From the video he looks like a pretty good player. My role model is Barack Obama because he shows perseverance and courage. If I had a chance to meet someone famous it would be him because that's something that alot of people don't get to say "I met the President of the United States." Meeting the President is like a once in a lifetime experience.

I don't really watch basketball like that, therefore I'm not a big fan. My role modle would be my dad becuase he teaches me almost everything and when I'm in trouble he always find away! If I had a chance to meet a famous person it would have to be Tyler Perry because he makes the funniest movies, and Chris Brown so I can see how his life is being famous.

I've never heard of Austin Rivers but I don't really watch basketball so that's probably why. One of my role models is my mom. She is amazing and always knows how to handle situations. When I grow up I want to be just like her. If I had a chance to meet someone famous I would deffinatly want to meet Justin Bieber. He is my favorite singer and he's gorgeous. :)

I have never heard of Austin Rivers, because I don't watch college basketball.
A role model is someone who inspires me and urges me to keep fighting at the hardest times possible. If I had a chance to meet someone famous, it would be Pauly D. I don't know why, but I just love him.

I don't follow basketball, so no, I've never heard of Austin Rivers before. I think that he has an amazing talent for this sport, and he seems to be putting it to good use. I am a fan, but I'm not sure if I'd consider him a role model, though it is clear why he would be someone's role model. I don't really consider outside people that I know my role models, because I achieve my confidence and inspiration through my family and friends. Off of the top of my head, I can't really think of a famous person I'd like to meet, because famous people don't really have that big of an impact on my day to day life.

I have never heard of this man but he is very good at basketball! A role model is somebody you can look up to and follow throughout your life. As for Dylan looking up to him that is good but what is his non basketball personality like? I don’t want to ever meet a famous person nor do I plan on going to see a concert or something. Famous people are rude people that don’t know what real life is. For singers, people write music for them and they sing it and get paid millions, then they start to do drugs or something just to get attention which isn’t a positive influence for children that were inspired. I understand they have no privacy but they decided to be famous and they know how things go. As for me looking up to somebody, I have looked up to people for certain things but not as an overall person because I believe that if you want to be like somebody and your not that leads to disappointment and I also believe that no two people can or should be alike you should be yourself at all times.

No, i've never heard of Austin Rivers before now. I can't say im a fan because i've never seen him play before watching this video. However, from watching this, you can tell he's talented. I dont know much about him so i dont know why he is a good role model other than people who love basketball look up to him. If i had the chance to meet someone famous, it would definitely not be a celebrity, but most likely a athlete.

No, I have not heard of Austin Rivers. I consider my friends and families as my role model because they help me on things that I need help on. They are there with me every step of the way. I can really trust them for everything. If I had a chance to meet someone famous, it would be Tyler Perry because he is one of the most funny people that I always want to meet.

No I never heard of Austin Rivers. Not really a fan of basketball or any sport in general but he is a good player. Honestly I don't think I have a role model and if I did I really don't know who I want it to be. I would meet a singer named Jessie J to see what made her who she is today.

Shannon said...

No I havn't heard of him before because I'm not really a basketball fan. My role model would have to be my nana. She is always there when any one needs her. She also would break her back to help any one in need whether it be family, friends, or even a stranger. If I could meet someone famous it would be George Clooney because I believe he is real good looking for his age.

aaron said...

I have never heard of him. Know im a fan. It would probly be lil wayne.

Jessica said...

I heard about Rivers the other day on TV when I glanced at what my step dad was watching but I know nothing of him. I don't watch basketball that much, so I can't be a fan. I consider my mother a rolde model of mine because my mom is so sweet, and generous to others. She definitly puts others before her self, which sometimes she shouldn't as much as she does. But she is an amazing woman. If I had the chance to meet someone famous it would be Adele, she is so amazing and everything she writes is from her life and thats why she doesnt get much unless an uprise is going on in her life good or bad.

A little bit. I guess. My friend who just started going to Old Dominion University , She's always working hard and she does all her work correct, finishes first, and she's really smart

I have now. I could care less for Duke. I got to go with UVA. That kid looks pretty good, I'll give him that. I don't have a role model, anyway.

Austin Rivers said...

Yes I have heard of Austin Rivers. I am a huge fan, I love him. Austin is one of my role models along with the rest of the Duke basketball team. I want to meet the whole team again because they are nice and not your typical sports player that is a jerk. Rivers for President.

I have never heard of Austin Rivers until now but from what I saw,he is a very good basketball player. I consider my parents to be my role models because they encourage me to do my best all the time and a I am very grateful of them. If I could meet someone famous it would be Trey Songs, just so he can sing a song for me!! : )!

No, I've never heard of Austin Rivers. I don't really have a role model, because I am my own person. -Josh Cutchins

Jamie said...

No, I haven't heard of Austin Rivers. I consider my mom a role model. Because she wouldn't do anything to hurt me or do something that she wouldn't allow me to do. If I have a chance to meet someone famous it would be Tyler Perry. It would be him because I have watch almost all expect one of his plays and movies; I'm a fan of his. By the way, I going to the movie to see his new movie "Good Deeds".

Mary Alice said...

I have never heard of Austin Rivers but then again I don't really watch basketball. I don't really have a role model that I can think of. I think it would be awesome to meet any really famous person. But if I had to choose a guy that I would wanna meet it would be Matthew McConaughey or Ryan Gosling. If I had to choose a girl I would want to meet Taylor Swift.

Amber Furman said...

I had never heard of him before now. I don't really watch basketball. I have a lot of role models but they aren't famous. They are just people I know. I don't consider famous people really my role models because I don't really know them. The headlines and t.v. might say they are a good person and things like that but, that doesn't mean its true. If I did have a chance to meet someone famous thou, it would be Morgan Freeman, because he is my favorite actor and he has given a lot of money to charity.

Katelyn said...

No, I haven't heard of Austin Rivers. I don't really keep up with basketball. I actually have three role models. The first one is my best friend. Nobody takes advantage of her or messes with her or anything like that because she tells them that they won't do that to her. My second one is my other friend. She has been through a lot of stuff. Some of the stuff i have no idea how she gets through it. She stays so strong through everything. Lastly, It would be sort of my sister, but she isn't my real sister. She is very smart and gets good grades. She is also very strong so I look up to her. To meet somebody famous it would probably be either Taylor Swift or Nicki Minaj. They are both pretty and were a normal girl at some point in their life then now they are famous.

I have never heard of Austin Rivers until today. I'm not much of a basketball fan, but I know a little bit about it. And with the way he scores, I would definitely be a fan.
My role-model would have to be me, myself, and I. I don't have a role-model as of right now.
If I had the chance to meet someone famous, I would most likely meet is a person named Dahvie Vanity. The reason I would meet him is because he is very inspiring. Most people do not approve of his music, but he keeps making more and he doesn't care what others think. All he does is send love to his fans and his band not like other bands. He for the fans and loves to hang out with them. Which is why I want to meet him so badly!
