In today's modern world, we view things differently as "iconic". The new age of television has made many things household names, but only a few stick in my mind for very different reasons. I have chosen Tyra Banks and Americas Next Top Model(ANTM) for one, Spongebob Squarepants as another, and finally Paula Deen as the last for this blog. This diverse selection may seem all over the place but it makes sense to me. I promise.
The choice for ATNM is simply on this cycle of the show, a potential model has "Asberger's Syndrome". This disorder hits our family close to home as my niece has been dealing with the disorder for many years. This disorder is a mild form of autism and mainly deals with social issues in our society. Many indivduals feel uneasy around groups and tend to be very socially retarded.
Spongebob on the other hand, was chosen for my son. As growing up, he and I would spend hours watching the show. Not only is the show a world recognized cartoon, it has huge pop culture following. You can purchase dolls, dvd's, videos, and clothing featuring the charectors from this show at pretty much any mall or department store. The show gave us hours of enjoyment, and a lifetime of memories.
Lastly, Paula Deen is a mega-conglaumerate in her own right. She is a restuarant owner, a writer, television star and has moved into the movie scene. From her humble beginnings in southern Georgia to a individual known for her personality, battled depression and social anxiety to move forward to live her dreams. She shows the passion for your dreams can lead you to your destination, even if it takes you a little while.
