There are a lot of celebrities that people can look up to. I have my own that I admire. One stands out in my mind when I think of someone’s career and how I wish my career would be like. His name: Hank Green. He’s a vlogger, wizard rocker, entrepreneur, and so much more! With his brother, author John Green, he is part of the Vlogbrothers. Two brothers who make videos back and forth to each other. He has his own company called DFTBA records where content creators can sell merchandise. He’s also a producer for the Lizzie Bennet Diaries and Crash Course. This is perhaps one of his hugest project. They create videos teaching a variety of subjects. From literature, to history, to psychology, and physics. These are all free on YouTube and teachers as well as students. He even has started creating games!

What I admire about Hank Green is that he is ambitious. He has an idea and he does it! Sometimes it works, sometimes not. But he tries. And he is always enthusiastic  about it. For example, last year I had the opportunity to go to NerdCon (which I’ll be going to again this year). It’s essentially about what makes a story? People talk about it and discuss it and while nothing is defined, there is a lot of fun! While it is still happening this year, there is the fact that Hank admitted that he lost money with it. Sometimes things don’t work. But you keep going anyway. It’s that enthusiasm to continue that I admire so much.
