I’m going to talk about a huge role model (someone you want to be like) for 
me, His Holiness Dalai Lama. He is a Tibetan monk who was exiled (forced to 
leave) from Tibet and is now residing in India. I can’t remember when I first 
came to know of him exactly, but I know that I felt very moved (emotionally 
affected) by his peaceful words. I often watch speeches by him on Youtube 
and have read one of his novels called “The Key to Happiness”. I really have 
taken a like to him because his philosophies are quite simple and applicable to 
life, but also very wise and profound. Apart from this, he exudes (gives off 
energy) a remarkable sense of joy.
If I were able to meet him, I would like to ask him more about his exile from 
Tibet. I’m intrigued to learn how he dealt with these hardships (difficulties) 
and remained at peace while his whole world was falling apart. Moreover, I 
would like to know about his daily routine. Often times we only see our idols on 
TV, but we cannot imagine how their life really is. Furthermore, I know we are 
all humans, so I would like to learn about the struggles he faces and how he 
deals with them. Lastly, I would like to ask for advice on developing inner peace 
(peace within one’s self).
Ever since I saw his face, I felt that I had a connection with him. I really agree 
with the majority of his life advice and want to learn more about him. I think that 
he is revolutionary in connecting the Eastern and Western world. All in all, it’s a 
big bucket list item (something you want to do before you die) for me to 
meet him.
