I admire Bob Woodruff, TV journalist, co-anchor at ABC and author of the book In an Instant. I used to love watching him on television, and when I found out that he was injured by a roadside bomb in Iraq I was upset but intrigued. I wanted to find out more about his life. A while after, he came out with his book. I read it and absolutely loved his story, his use of language and his way of captivating a reader. Woodruff is extremely passionate about news. He would risk his life in an instant to bring unbiased news to people all over the world. He would do anything to get a good news story and get in on the action.
News is not his only passion. He was a lawyer before he was a journalist, and he did everything in his power to make a positive change in the world. He quit his high-paying job in a law office to move to China for a year, giving chinese students confidence to rebel against their restrictive government. When he decided to switch jobs to the field of Journalism, he worked his way from the very bottom to the top. He never gave up in his quest to get what he wanted, and even after 4 years of studying at a top-rated law school he didn't settle as a lawyer when he realized law was not something he was passionate about and not something he loved.
