My Best Role Model

1249 Words3 Pages

Who comes to mind when thinking about who the best role model is? Is it a friend? A sibling? Possibly a parent? For me, When thinking about who the best role model to have is, one person in particular comes to mind. She has been there my entire life, has seen me through thick and thin, and always supports me in everything that I do. The person that I consider to be the best role model is my older sister, Kelly. To this day my sister and I aren't joined at the hip, and I don't speak to her everyday, but my sister is still one of my closest friends. Growing up we saw things differently, but as I grew up and saw my sister go through life with a confidence still unrivaled, I realized she was the one person who I could count on to pick me up when …show more content…

No one is 100 percent perfect and kelly is no exception. It is no secret that many other younger sisters think that their older sister is the best role model, but this does not make any one person better than the other. For example, one might argue that the characteristics for their role model are better than kelly’s because they are always willing to help, they are successful, and organized. This does not make one person better than the other, it simply means that different people have contrasting views for what makes the perfect role model. People have differing needs and desires for who they have in their lives and what they mean to them. There is nothing I would change about my sister kelly, however, someone could point out that she is in fact not the perfect role model, because she she is not as successful as someone who has a full time job. Just because she does not drop everything to help me with boy drama or a homework problem, does not make her a lesser person for it, it just means she has different qualities. I understand her and she understands my needs. Kelly provides everything that I need from my role model, therefore making her the perfect role model for

  • Personal Essay: What Humility Means To Me

    1165 Words  | 3 Pages

    If I knew, I wouldn’t have had such a hard time identifying two personal role models. Honestly, I think it comes from being involved. I find that I haven’t been a very involved person in school, sports, or anything aside from work. Over the past year since I have attended Concordia University, I’ve only recently started to venture out. I believe that sources for role models can come from family (even though I don’t find that mine really do), getting involved in school, church (if you’re religious) and volunteering to name a few. I believe that these are the best sources because they allow you to see things that maybe you wouldn’t otherwise have been able to witness. When you’re around a variety of people, you can be influenced by that variety of people. If you’re only around family or a certain group, then how can you grow and learn without being around another group or person. I truly think that the best sources for finding role models that embody humility is through involvement that is focused on a

  • My Ethical Hero

    1073 Words  | 3 Pages

    I chose my father as my ethical role model because out of everyone who has taught me throughout my life, I think he tried to impart the most. One time, right after the 2008 presidential election, he told me that he "raised me to be a democrat", which is an interesting statement for two reasons because 1: as a Catholic family, the Church requires we be Republicans and 2: because he never told me to be a democrat. This anecdote is important because it shows how my dad taught me about things indirectly, through things he says or does to others, but not with just commands to me. He taught me life is not just about right and wrong but it's about helping people and experiencing new things.

  • My Gender Role Model

    1390 Words  | 3 Pages

    Gender has affected my life in many ways, but most of all I would say that from a young age I was given the impression that part of a woman’s value came from her ability to attract the opposite sex, and due to this mindset for a long time I felt as though I was ugly and difficult to love. There are so many expectations placed upon women based solely on the fact that they are female. Women are meant to be gentle, quiet, and respectful at all times but most of all they are expected to be pretty. Being physically appealing means different things depending on where you live, however, In western society it appears to mean being a tall, skinny, preferably blonde, Caucasian female and if you happen to match this criteria you’ve essentially hit the

  • Taylor Swift: My Role Model

    Ever since I was in eighth grade, I have been obsessed with Taylor Swift. She has been my role model since I was thirteen. When you look at most singers today, they have to be singing about drugs or alcohol, using vulgar language, or performing half-dressed. You never see Taylor Swift doing anything that she would be ashamed of later in life. On the other hand, she has had many relationships that have lasted short time periods. At least, she is not getting married for 72 days or even 24 hours such Kim Kardashian or Britney Spears. This is why I chose to write a research paper on her.

  • My Family: My Mother, My Role Model

    Many of us have role models in our lives and to most people role models are athletes and movie stars, but to me a role model is much more. To me a role model is a person who has positively influenced someone in life, and is not a person filled with selfishness and greed. They help shape someone’s personality, and characteristics. They are people who someone can look up to for advice in a hard situation, and know that they will give those words of wisdom. They will never judge our past actions, instead only look to help because they really care. A role model is someone who we should never feel awkward talking to about our problems. A perfect role model for me is my mother. She is a wonderful human being. She’s smart, wise, ambitious, patient and such a loving person. There are no words that can describe my gratitude towards her, but through this essay I will describe some of her characteristics that makes her my role model.
