Why did I choose him ?
I chose Stephen William Hawking because he is a role model.  He has struggled with the debilitating disease, ALS since college, but he hasn't let it slow him down.  He continued to make great contributions to the world while struggling with severe physical adversity.
SWH was and is a great person. RIP
