I view Gerald as a role model for many reasons. Firstly I find throughout a great amount of his introspective music that him and I are quite similar; we've dealt with many of the same life experiences.
His vision in life was to provide for his family, being for his mother and brother, and to chase his dream of being a superstar in the music industry. He achieved that and much more. Gerald had a rough upbringing,
his mother worked two jobs just to stay afloat, and his father was absent in his life. At the young age of 15 he had to financially support his family. Throughout the coming years he faced many problems, but
overcame all of them. In short, he was faced with many roadblocks, but kept fighting. As for the person he is, Gerald is a kind-hearted soul that will fight for what he believes in. Some of his music shows this and it
helped me through many times, and continues to. As for his tastes, he enjoys an expensive lifestyle with the hard-earned money he has, such as lavish cars, suits, and fine dining. In summary, Gerald appeals to me in so many
different ways to the point where I see much of myself in him.
