You wonder, what really makes a good role model? I can tell you that I don't exactly know. I guess it's different for everybody. But from the title of this paper you can probably tell who it's about. I believe that everybody has a role model, even if they don't. Someone who inspires them to do what they do today. Someone who shows them that they can pull through and that everything will be okay in the end. For me, that person is Troian Avery Bellisario.
I first saw her on television when I started watching the ABC Family show Pretty Little Liars. After watching the first episode, I immediately became obsessed with the show. I loved all the mystery and drama of it. As cliché as it sounds, Pretty Little Liars, and each of the characters has taught me many things like to be yourself, and that nobody is perfect. Out of the five characters Alison DiLaurentis, Hanna Marin, Spencer Hastings, Emily Fields, and Aria Montgomery, Spencer Hastings is my favorite. She is intelligent, confident, and determined. The amazing actress behind this wonderful character is Troian Bellisario. Throughout her early life, Troian went through many challenges but today, Troian is a truly unique and special person.
Troian Avery Bellisario was born on October 28, 1985 in Los Angeles, California. Her name is a family name, meaning, "Woman of Troy." It is from her fathers maternal side. Troian likes her name because it is unique and different, but is often pronounced wrong. She says it doesn't bother her, but it bothers her friends. Troian has never met another Troian, but she has only been told about them. She says, "One of my best friends in elementary school went to a different school. Her math teacher heard about my name, and she was going to name her k...

...she won the Teen Choice Award Choice Summer TV Star: Female. In 2013, Troian won the Best Performance by an Actress for the show Lauren. She also won the Teen Choice Awards Choice TV Actress: Drama for Pretty Little Liars.
To me, Troian is a very admirable person due to her past challenges and obstacles that she has overcome. She is always positive and influential to her fans and followers. She isn't afraid to express her opinion, but she always shows it in a thoughtful way. She always finds a way to connect with her followers, whether it's a funny twitter post or a picture on Instagram. Going through those challenges has shaped her into the well-formed person she is today. Troian is very caring, supportive, intelligent, and confident. And although she has had many challenges throughout her life they really helped her to be the truly inspiring person she is today.
Taylor's courage shown throughout this novel and her risk taking attitude make her truly independent, but her relationships that she has formed in her new life, and her maturing and empathy she shows towards them make her truly strong. Taylor truly has a genuine and good heart. I really did enjoy her character despite the confusion in the beginning dealing with her reaction to being thrown a child. She seemed to be to calm about it in the beginning but by the end of Bean Trees I understand her more and I believe she has truly grown into this amazing woman. She is a great mother, an amazing friend, a risk taker filled with compassion for others and her courage completely shines through. Her journey began as being a normal teenager and ended as a loving mother.
While the author of Beowulf is still a mystery, the greatness of the character that he or she created will live on forever. Beowulf is the model of what a hero was supposed to be in the middle ages. He was fearless in the face of death, nearly undefeatable, and cunning. Even as a king, Beowulf was generous and helped his people however he could.

The middle name that appears on my birth certificate is Cristina and I’m quite fond of my middle name because to me the name sounds utterly cheerful and friendly. Maria and Cristina complement each other. Many people when I tell them how my middle name is spelled they tend to believe my mom made a mistake and spelled my name incorrectly. The truth is she meant to spell it like that not because she decided to be slightly unique and spell my name without the letter h but because she decided to commemorate someone or something.
In my life, my grandfather has always been my role model. He valued his beliefs and always abides by his values. My grandfather is a pastor. His leadership position in church gave him many responsibilities. I was never disappointed because he always tried to live an honest life. He was always trustworthy, reliable and responsible not just in church but also for his family. People followed his lead because he was always true to his words; he literally practiced what he preached. Credibility was the basic foundation for my grandfather’s leadership position. His credibleness has helped the church stay

...eing a role model or a leader is such an important position. I have learned a lot of things about myself while writing this paper. I have learned that I am not very vocal and bossy towards others. I am the type of person that does not like to be in charge because I do not like the pressure of having to lead other people. However, throughout this paper and class I have learned that I can still be a leader even if I am not in your face about things. I can still make a change and make an impact on people through different ways. This paper taught me a lot about what leadership means to me.
Three sets of characters that I feel are good role models are Lucy Burns and Emily Leighton in Iron Jawed Angels, Miriam Thompson and Odessa Cotter in The Long Walk Home, Sister Sunday and Mother St. John in The Mighty Macs. The first set of role models is Lucy Burns and Emily Leighton from the film Iron Jawed Angels. In the film viewers see that Lucy Burns is the best friend and right hand to Alice Paul.

After, Inez Mulholland the face of the movement died Alice gave up for a moment, but Lucy told Alice that Inez would not want her death to cause them to

Many people find someone in his/her life to look up to, a role model. There are many different kinds of role models; they can be singers, public speakers, a parent, or even a friend. Role models also are not determined by certain criteria. A role model can be a role model just because they are a leader or have a great talent. Oprah Winfrey is considered a role model to many individuals because of her tough childhood, wonderful charity work, her schools, and the true relationships with her fans. Oprah stands out among many people on her ability to feel others’ pain and help those people get through their troubling times.

My grandma is my role model because she has accomplished so much and been through so much in her life. She is a very beautiful person, but very stubborn in what she believes and wants. Its almost impossible to get her to change her mind. She is always telling me how proud she is of me and has pretty high expectations of me. My mom is also a role model for me because she had a rough childhood and after she started a family she went back to college she is still attending college now, she gives me motivation to never give up and reminds my of how good my life is
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.
