Here are some of the ideas I had of people in Tanach that i learned about.

Yehoshua - ‫ואנכי וביתי נעבוד את ה‬

Chavakuk - ‫צדיק באמונו יחיה‬

Moshe - ‫ רק חזק ואמץ‬- not sure if this is the exact quote, but i think its something
similar

Daniel - ‫וישם דניאל אל ליבו אשר לא יתגאל בפס בג המלך ויין משתו‬

I would love to include others as well such as, David Hamelech, Eliyahu HaNavi,
Rus, etc. It might be interesting to include something from Igeres Haramban or
something from Pirkei Avos.

Moller, Miri  
Neugroschl, Aviva  religious guilt
 The concept that
I would like to discuss for my report is Bilhah and Zilpah. 
There are many aspects that I'd like to focus on, some of them including:

 do we know anything more about where/who they came from,


besides for rashi's statement that they were the daughters of Lavan
and his pilegesh?
 why were they zocheh to marry Yaakov Avinu and mother four of the
shevatim?
 if they were great enough to marry Yaakov and mother the shevatim,
why are they only regarded to as maidservants in the pasuk, and why
don't we consider them to be part of the Imahos?

 I would like to write my report about Menashe Melech Yehuda, to try and
gain clarity on a decently confusing topic.
I want to focus on a few specific questions, 

 how he became who he was when his father was such a tzaddik
 how bechira fits in to the discussion, when he was declared to be a
rasha before he was born
 how idol worship worked and what the pull was, that it was strong
enough that someone who knew so much Torah was pulled to it
 how Menashe could have been such a Talmid Chacham and still fall
so far - why didn't his Torah affect him
 what Bnei Yisrael was like at that time
Schwarz, Hadassa  the decently esoteric gemaras that discuss him
Rachel  how could it be that his 33 years of teshuva were not enough to get
