Looking back on my life and thinking about what has taught me the most about leadership, scholarship, and citizenship is pretty challenging. What first comes to mind, however, is being an older sister. I have two younger brothers and ultimately helping to raise two young boys has shown me so much about being generous, kind, forgiving, motivated, cautious, optimistic, and a leader and role model. Because my parents could not always care for their kids the way they needed, I have always been there for my brothers. Being a positive role model to them has always been extremely important to me. I want them to look forward to their education and future. I encourage them to follow their passions regardless of how challenging that may be because perseverance is the key to accomplishing your goals. …show more content…
Overall, I wanted them to know what good citizenship looked like, which is why I always was involved in working with the community in service projects, as well as in school being a part of student government and various clubs. In addition, working hard in school and trying your best in school has always been a priority in my family. Being an older sister means staying up later helping my brothers with projects and homework, despite the workload I was facing. This also meant making learning and reading fun, which is not the easiest thing to do with video games and baseball always on their minds. However, persistence payed off and I am so very proud of their accomplishments as they are of mine. I cannot imagine my life without my siblings and I am extremely lucky to have been blessed with them. Even though siblings can make our lives much more difficult, I am very happy to have gained these values throughout my

A long with having ten children my grandparents even though had many hard time to raise and feed their children, but had the aspiration of build a big future and to choose a career for them. As time passes children grew up in a huge family sometimes with some deficit, hardship and even with some depress while they had difficult moments. To overcome obstacle in a life for each child in their family was one of the main destination for their future. As my mom often remembers my grandfather used to say “When there is a definite goal, effort to achieve it becomes enjoyment”
The best leadership accomplishment that demonstrates my potential to make significant contributions to the campus community and broader society is cheerleading. Cheerleading has made a huge impact on my life and has created many opportunities for me. It has paved the way for my high school career. Cheerleading provided me with opportunities to lead, volunteer, perform and show the athletic ability of our squad.
I have sisters and brothers, but was never raised with any of them. As the only child in the home I was spoiled rotten and was not too keen on sharing much of anything. You can imagine going to kindergarten and learning I had to share. I remember this quite well because it was a traumatic experience for a five year old. The older I got, the more entitled and selfish I became. I can look back on it now as see how I acted, but during that time I actually felt that way.

An adult sibling’s relationship may be the secret to happy, long life. Harwood, 2007 p. 105 emphasized it by saying that sibling’s relationship has the potential to be the most lifelong relationship of all. There is probably a biological explanation for this sibling bond. Siblings share some fundamental experiences which others do not. Siblings are age peers, grew up in same environment, of same parents, and extended family. They share the same cultural and religious heritage, and shared childhood experiences.
“Every day, we are each given an opportunity to be a role model. The choices we make change so much more than just our own lives.” - Anonymous. Everyone obtains role models in their lives. People aspire to be their role models and live like them through their examples. Throughout my life, I acquired numerous role models, and they come in all sorts of ways like movies, tv shows, and even real life and their stories deeply impacted me, myself as a child and as a teenager.
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

What do many people feel they lack in life? When I am asked this question, many thoughts are elicited and kindled to a point where I cannot decide. But, through the harsh proclivities of nature the many things we feel we lack in life are very lucid, such as adventure, gratification, friendships, love, and wisdom. If a person can claim that he has not lacked any of these, he would have to be Odysseus, from Homer’s, ”The Odyssey.’
I have learnt that role models lead by example their behaviour, actions values are displayed in the workplace for employees to look up to. Employees look up to role models who constantly display high standards of work performance, inspire, enthuse act as positive role models. Their behaviour is emulated by others a long with their work attitudes, they are strong, committed, people oriented leaders. They give the organisation and the employees clear identity and clear objectives, they will lead by example, be visible, pat of the communication loop, empower employees, delegate effectively, encourage new ideas and innovations, they will establish direction and influence others so that employees work toward the same goals. I can ensure i act as a role model for employees. That i have a positive attitude are enthusiastic and involved, accept responsibility, understand myself my personality style, characteristics, behaviours, learning preferences, understand others, develop my own skills and competencies in communication, active listening, interpersonal, cultural awareness, acceptance of and management of diversity, provide appropriate feedback, and reinforcement to workers, are honest, credible and act ethically. i would not take days off work, have extended lunch breaks, be rude to staff members, leave work early. These things are not part of being a good role model for employees in the workplace.
Siblings should always there for each other, willing to drop anything to help one another. Having a strong bond between siblings is one that can never be replaced. Even through tough times, siblings can overcome their differences. Most importantly, siblings provide each other with a built-in best friend. These are all important principles for a good sibling. I believe I am a good sister because I fit the criteria for what every sibling should meet.
Many people grow up with a sibling, in fact eighty percent of people in the United States and Europe grow up with a brother or sister (Dunn 1). Most people can agree with the statement that growing up with siblings has impacted their development and personality. This topic has been researched by psychologist and sociologist for decades; which has provided both positive and negative outcomes of growing up with siblings. Children can benefit from growing up with siblings because they can learn from their siblings, gain social skills, and their siblings may become a valuable asset in one’s life.
Role models have an astounding effect on the lives of young people in our society. A role model has the ability to shape the views, ideals, and actions of a young person. Role models help youth to discover how they wish to become in the future. The influence that role models have over young people is tremendous. It is important for role models to be positive and responsible in instilling good morals and values because future generations are directly dependent on the role models of today. By examining the influence of role models, role models in the community, and role models in the media, we will be able to determine the true effect that role models have on the lives of youth.
Growing up with two older brothers taught me to be unselfish, patient, and respectful. Being the youngest of three, I learned I would not always get what I wanted. I would have to be patient and wait my turn for a lot of things, such as the telephone and bathroom. I was glad that I was able to grow up with siblings to teach me these lifelong lessons. All three of us had to be respectful of each other or we would risk getting in trouble with my parents.
