Would i be friends with Benjamin now?

I think I would be Benjamin Banneker's friend now if he was still alive because he was very successful in his life and he treated people with respect. He followed his dreams and I think he would be a very good role model. He always kept chasing his dreams and didn't stop doing what he wanted to do. He was a very kind person, he helped others in their time of need. He's the type of person that I would look up to.
