Why Will?

Will Smith is pretty much as perfect as one can get. My goal in life is to be the "next" Will Smith. When I say that I want to be like Will, I'm not saying that I want to be a rapper and star in hugely popular movies. I am talking about core values. My personal core values are very similar to Will's and shine through in his life accomplishments.
Will was raised in a Baptist household and remains a Christian as an adult. My spirituality is an important and central part of my life. Will has been a charitable man; in 2007, he gave $1.3 to charities. This shows how high his concern for others is on his list of personal core values. I also value my concern for others. In years to come, I would like to invest more of my time and money in ways that can benefit others. Will Smith has taken the stance to support the legalization of gay marriage; this is a controversial topic, but I believe that people who take this stance have a high concern for others.
From the beginning, Will wanted to be successful. He started out as a rapper called The Fresh Prince. Similarly, I am starting out as a college student with no experience in the real world. Will takes a chance and stars in the show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. This bold movement lands him in a six year television sensation and is the gateway to his success as an actor. As a leader, I want to take bold risks, even if they may take me off the current path I'm on. I want to be a open-minded leader who fears nothing, like most of Will Smith's characters in his movies.
