A person that inspires me is Sir Robert Bryson Hall, or better known by his stage name, Logic. Logic is a rapper from Maryland. In his neighborhood, there was a lot of violence and murder. He grew up in a home where he had a bipolar mother who would beat him for being half black, and a father who wasn't really around, but would visit occasionally to buy weed and other drugs from Logic's brothers. See, in his home, they cooked crack. It seems like someone who grew up in this kind of environment would ultimately grow up to do the same things.
Logic did start to go down the same path for a while, until he was in his late teens, he got really into music. He released a mixtape, and has done so for the past six years. He has since then become very successful. He has released two albums, his most recent album sold over 130,000 copies in the first week, and had 19 million streams.
Logic came from a really twisted home and decided to not get sucked into the preconceived notion that he needs to sell drugs and murder to survive. He now lives in Malibu with his wife and his dogs. He is inspiring to me, didn't grow up in the same conditions so I have no excuse to not be successful. He preaches Peace, Love, and Positivity, and makes me want to be a better, respectful person.

I really like your blog Samuel!You have great descriptions for all of your post. How long have you been a fan of Logic for? -Avannah Leichman
