Echo and Narcissus - Jonathan Tungate

This story is about Echo, a nymph, and her human love, Narcissus. Echo helps Juno's escape and Juno curses Echo so she is only able to respond with what she hears. Echo attempts to get with Narcissus, but Narcissus is to Narcissistic, and doesn't think anyone is good enough. Echo withers away and becomes only a voice echoing what she hears. However the gods are angered by Narcissus, and trap him by letting him look upon a reflective pool, where he is trapped by his reflection and he is so infatuated with his reflection he stays and dies.

An Altruistic person I admire is Eminem. Eminem started off as a poor, low class individual with a turbulent home life, and nothing to suggest he would someday be successful. But he worked hard, and made something of himself, defying the odds. Now, he uses his success to help other people, and he is devoted his time to giving his daughters the childhood he never had. He has had charities to help his hometown of Detroit, and started the Marshall Mathers foundation to help children in need.
