everyone’s got a role model

Whether you like it or not the choice you make or stumble upon make you who you are. YOU are MAKING those choices, whether they are right or wrong and it doesn’t look like they are steering you in the wrong directions. I always tell people, whether you like it or not people are looking at you, for better or worse. It’s hard, but somebody’s got to do it. And when you fall, they will be there to say “I told you so.” Good lesson learned and you keep right on going.   Irma

To me I think a Good Role Model is a person who tells, or influences you to make the right choice in life. Like for example my mother she always tells me “you’re not gonna get nowhere in life until you prove it to yourself” whatever that means (huh). But if I didn’t have anyone like my mother to remind me everyday…. I might be that lazy, oh lazy young lady rocking in my chair, doing nothing for myself but, getting old. But YES my mother is the greatest role model for me. Why? The answer is that she believes in everyone has a dream like Dr. King said . . . My mother a fine role model for me and my sisters.   Lina

Everyone has a role model, right? What is a role model anyway? A role model is a person who we like to become and has qualities we want to achieve. A role model teaches you to be…yourself and understand who you are. Most people believe that a role model is an adult, but I believe a role model could also be a child. “A person is bonded to their role model no matter the age, race, gender, or differences.” Although I think that adults simply believe that children’s role models may mostly be celebrities, they are wrong. We simply ‘respect’ celebrities because, in my opinion, they are different. Simply put, they are famous; they’re on TV, on stages, shows, etc. When we see a celebrity, we jump wildly with excitement, asking for autographs and taking pictures. And there are some of us who wants to be just like them. Anyhow, I think that a role model could be anywhere in the world—he/she might be living with you, or lives next door or in the nearest town, or could just be on the other side of the world. I believe that it’s not only one role model but a thousand of them. One person can’t teach you everything there is to know about yourself, it takes a lot of people and time to understand and know yourself. A role model should treat you as an equal, is honest and open-minded…someone you could look up to and even depend your whole life. If a role model is not someone you could depend, understand, and trust, then he/she can’t be the right role model for you. A girl named Kristene has once said, “We live in a society that really doesn’t allow one to be different. A role model DARES you and themselves to be different.” I agree with her; she’s right. A role model should dare you to be different and encourages you to be outstanding. A role model should be able to make you trust that you can get to where he/she is. I don’t think that a role model could be just anyone. He/she should have gone through struggles and hardships that we may have or may not have passed. I believe this because a person can’t just be a role model for doing nothing, can they? They need to make us want to be like them because they have succeeded in something, something special. When we choose a role model, are we…are we labeling them? Like they’re some kind of food or an object? Do role models feel depended on and feel responsible for our actions and feel like they’re being watch every second, every minute, every day?
