"A Person whom I Respect"

I was shocked by Cory Monteith's death.
Glee was a one of the TV shows that got me interested in English. Cory was a one of original castmembers.
I haven't watched every season of Glee, but I recently happened to learn of Cory's personal background and activities   on a TV program. Since then, I have really liked and respected him as a person. I have wanted to be as much a faithful and honorable guy as Cory was.
 I was surprised that he decided to enter a rehabilitation facility even though there was the possibility of losing his fame and the respect of his fans if he made it public that he had had difficulty with drugs.
  Nobody yet knows the cause of his death. It is possible that he died because of drugs. Whatever it was, it is very sad that we lost one of our talented young people on 13th July, 2013.

I'm really appreciative that his career has given me an opportunity to look at new worlds. (I can't think of a way to make the rest of that sentence sound natural) I personally want to make an effort to be a faithful and honorable person who always can be honest even if it affects me in bad ways, like Cory did when he publicized his difficulty with drugs.

Rest in Peace, Cory Monteith
