 Marian Anderson’s brilliant singing career began at age six when she sang spirituals at the Union Baptist Church in her hometown of Philadelphia. She toured Europe in the 1920s, drawing vast acclaim. However, when she returned to the United States she was still barred from performing on the American operatic stage. After she was prevented from singing in Washington’s segregated Constitution Hall in 1939, Eleanor Roosevelt intervened and arranged for Miss Anderson to perform at the Lincoln Memorial. A crowd of 75,000 people came to watch her sing before the Memorial. Marian Anderson’s beautiful contralto voice broke down racial barriers, showing white Americans that blacks had a profound contribution to make to America’s cultural life. 
 Eventually, in 1955, she became the first African- American singer to perform at New York’s Metropolitan Opera. In her many years of touring, she had to endure a racism that forced her to enter concert halls and hotels through service entrances. Her grace under this stress showed a moral perseverance that paralleled that of the famous Martin Luther King, Jr.

 The person I admire most is my mother. I follow in her footsteps of because her love of reading and writing has had great impact on my dream of becoming a writer. She is my inspiration. She is a poet and gives me ideas for my stories. Mother always gives me guidance, encouragement and a whole lot of enjoyable things to do in my daily schoolwork! Also, if something happens that bothers me or annoys me, with a gentle voice and a smile, Mother gives me hints to solve problems myself, whatever they are. Whenever I have difficulties in writng an essay, Mother helps me to build up writing outlines and helps correct my style, encourages me to brainstorm my imagination to write short stories when I tell her my ideas and themes. On her advice, I began to write some poems about school days and they won some prizes when I was in Grade 11. Mother is really an inspiring mother-teacher who always motivates me in my schhol days. I really admire Mother and hope she is the source of my poetic inspiration forever. (185 words)
