Three of TIME Magazine's Most Influential People of 2011

After viewing most of the 100 poeple chosen as the most influential people of 2011, these three people were who I found most interesting. They are Justin Bieber, John Lasseter, and Sue Savage-Rumbaugh.

Justin Bieber, one of my picks, is someone influencial and inspiring. I knew about Justin Bieber before reading this list (like most teenagers) but that doesn't mean I don't find his story one to write about. Most people see Justin as just a singer but he's more than that. He's life changing. He's influenced people to chase their dreams, to never to give up (or as he says" Never Say Never") and to believe that anything is possible if you work hard.  He's showed the world his life story through his music.

John Lasseter  , my second pick, is someone who is important to the way we connnect with our families. He brings families together through his movies. I've seen alot of his work ,and you have too, but until now I didn't know his name. To those who do not know him, John Lasseter is the head of Pixar. He influences people through his movies and characters. He shows people to be kind, to laugh, and to spend time with family. He, along with co-workers, bring to the world facinating stories that can make you laugh and cry at the same time.

Sue Savage-Rumbaugh, my third pick, is someone who helps humans interact with animals. She's spent 35 years of her life devoted to her job. Just like most adults she's very busy and passionate about her work.  In case you're wondering what she does, Sue is scientist, but what she studies is unique. Sue studies bonobos, a type of ape. Sue is admired becuase of her determination, courage and abilty to stand up for what she believes in and she encourages people to do the same. As she shows the world the little known species of bonobos (which some call "make love not war" apes) she helps break the boundry that seperates us. She continues to do what she does even though somepople disagree.  She's introducing a whole other world  to us; one thats always been there but never was seen.
