Great suggestions! I think royalHighness brought about a more interesting point of view. It'd be easy for me to write about someone that has great personal influence. For instance, I presume royalHighness enjoys art or is perhaps an artist, so there's people of grandeur who've influenced art as a whole and have given him something to think about. Me on the other hand have no talent, but rather a desire to be an influential leader myself. Hmm...I have a stylish idea for my essay. Keep 'em coming in, guys (and girls).
