People Who Changed My Life -Misha Collins

Okay, so I've decided to do this series of posts where I talk about a person who has had a huge impact on my life; basically someone who changed my view on the world, helped me in some way...etc... I've decided to start with the person who created the biggest influence so far and that person my reader is Misha Collins. Misha is an actor, and I was introduced to him through Supernatural where he plays the angel Castiel. Through websites such as tumblr I grew to become more interested in the cast themselves and began watching interviews, convention videos, reading fans own stories of when they met an actor...basically a lot of research. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, but Misha Collins is the one who really made me look at things differently.
Not only is this guy an actor but he also runs his own charity called Random Acts, http://www.therandomact.org/ .

Watching the videos based around this charity on youtube and reading future plans they were organising made me think about what I want to do in this life. It made me want to do charity work. I didn't want to be one of those people who just contributed through a payment and let that make me feel better about myself. No, I want to actually be a part of it and be there in a country helping people who are less fortunate than I am and animals that have been abandoned/abused. Sure, I haven't got to that stage yet. I'm only 19 and just started university. But I am looking into volunteering for local charities at the moment. And to think, if I hadn't come across Supernatural I may have never had that thought cross my mind.
That's not the only thing, Misha made me a more open minded person. Things that I once thought were strange, now wouldn't faze me at all. This guy is eccentric, sarcastic, kind, smart and doesn't give a shit what people think of him. He's true to himself and that's a rare quality nowadays. He's an amazing actor and person who deserves greatness.

Peace out readers!
