One hero that I look up to the most is Rob Dyrdek. He started off with nothing but street smarts and a cheap skateboard, and now after years and years of getting really good at skating, he is rich and famous.

He said, “Sure, things are going to get sketchy, but when you’re having the time of your life, what is sketchy?”

He is famous because he is one of the best skaters in the world. He has several television shows, but he is just a normal person. If he can do it, then anybody who puts in the time and effort can do it, too.

I look up to Rob Dyrdek because I am a skater, too, and if I put in the time and effort, I can end up just like him as an awesome skater.
