First, I'd like to write about the person I admire most is Roger Federer, who is well known for one of the strongest tennis player ever. When I first saw him at The Championships, Wimbledon on TV , I was high school student. I was impressed by his courteous and gentlemanly behavior for the referee and gallery let alone his opponent. He is respected in all over the world, but when he was a young man(U-20), he was emotional, and bad-mannered person, so he often expelled from the court, so he decided to built his inner strength in order to become a champion, and succeeded it. He also established Roger Federer Foundation, and he is deeply engaged in charity work for poor children in Africa. I hope for his further success.
Lastly, I'd like to write about the person I respect most is Eriko Yamaguchi, who is a business people and energetic and stubborn person. Her company, Motherhouse is a fashion brand specialized in handbags produced in developing countries. She worked in Inter-American Development Bank after graduated Keio University, but she had a large doubt in her mind that the role of development aid for poor country at the office, so she quit her job, and she decided to found a company and produce steady employment in Bangladesh which is one of the poorest country in the Asia. When she started her business, it was nothing worked, because she stole her passport, and she couldn't produce her products because of deteriorating condition of public safety in the country, but she overcame adverse conditions, and now, her company currently owns 15 shops in Japan and Taiwan. Her energetic and stubborn personality has developed through Judo. When she was a elementary school student, she was bullied at school, but she met Judo, and it strengthened her physical and mental. I respect her mental toughness from the heart.
It seems like a lot of politicians are on your "blacklist". *grin* Excellent use of the word "loopy"! I think it's hard to speak in a way which makes you sound disloyal to your country, and this man may truly be disloyal. I haven't studeied his statements. However, some people in US history spoke out against the government's mistreatment of Native American's and tried to improve their living conditions. Also, Chiune Sempo Sugihara was considered to have been disloyal to the Japanese government at the time he was serving in Lithuania. However, I think the most loyal thing a man can do (as Sugihara did) is to live according to the nation's ** true values ** and be unafraid to suffer when this life clashes with a government no longer following those traditional values. However, "your mileage may vary".

I think what I like most in your description of Roger Federer is that he became aware of his negative character traits and made plans and efforts to overcome them! That's truly admirable.
Ms. Yamaguchi is obviously quite a person to respect, as well! Of course, she has a desire to make money, but she has chosen to do it in a way which is helping people who truly need a hand up in life. Good for her! I'm glad she has overcome the hardships she's faced so far.
You seem interested in development work. Is this a field you want to work in in the future? I might introduce you to a friend of mine who studied development work and lives in Kumamoto sometime soon...
