I don't admire any of them. And it's sad that these are the folks we decide are worthy of our admiration. Maybe it's because they're famous and people feel like they "know" them.

I admire the girl I saw working her butt off at the bar for 12 hours yesterday to put food on her table for her and her two kids.
