Bob As A Role Model

"When we're young, it sometimes seems as if the world doesn't exist outside our city, our block, our house, our room. We make decisions based on what we see in that limited world and follow the only models available” (Moore, 178). Role models play a very big part in shaping an individual and deciding which route they take in their lifetime. In both of the Weses’ life, role models contributed to why they both turned out so differently. Wes Moore, the author, had strong and positive influences in his life that helped guide him on the right path to become a successful adult. However, the other Wes Moore had many influences in his life that, not intentionally, guided him down the wrong path.

Role model. A role model is someone you should look up to. Someone whose behavior and success you should imitate. In the story “Marble Champ” by Gary Soto, the protagonist is a 12-year old girl named Lupe. Lupe is smart but horrible at athletics. Lupe is a role model because she is a hard worker, determined, and intelligent. More people should try to be like Lupe. With role models around, the world becomes a better place.

A role model is someone who affects one by their examples, making these people wanting to adapt to the role model's lifestyle. The 1930s was a time of racial segregation and the Great Depression. Harper Lee, who at the time was a 34 year old white woman, decided to express her thoughts on the subject of racial discrimination through her award winning book To Kill a Mockingbird. In To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Atticus Finch is a good role model because he defends Tom Robinson, he wants the best for his children, and he is truthful.

Parents should lead their children and are prime examples for them and without this leadership and quality from a parent it can lead their children from not growing. With a similar fate of death Oscar and Lincoln both share this aspect, however, Lincoln lacks the support of his mom while Oscar has his mom in his life, “His mother and his abuela and his tio delivered the ultimatum and that was that”(305). Beli involves herself once Oscar gets beaten and he goes back to his old routine of following his fantasy and Oscar fails to change as the lack of parenting occurs in his life as Beli never pushes Oscar to grow and by not setting an example of herself. Although a parent is in their child’s life it doesn’t necessarily mean they are providing

For these reasons, Christopher’s character develops and changes throughout the book, and is showcased through his mental and emotional growth

When I was in fifth grade, my class teacher gave us an assignment to write a paragraph about our role models. We were going to present these paragraphs to our parents the next day with a reception to follow. I wrote about my favorite author at the time: Rick Riordan. He wrote one of my favorite realistic, fantasy series about Greek mythology. As a young, naïve fifth grader, I didn’t really know what a role model was. I thought that a role model was someone that made you smile and laugh. Rick Riordan’s book made me do that, but not him personally. I didn’t make that connection until my teacher pulled aside and explained what a role model actually is. A role model is someone who another person admires and tries to be like. Once she explained that to be me, I

Everyone in the world eventually makes mistakes. Some will be bigger than others, but a mistake is still a mistake. Inevitably we have someone we look up to and we see something they did wrong, whether it be a big one or small one. Role models are people who we look up and have some characteristics we desire. Once we learn what they fail to achieve and flaws, we keep that in our thoughts and use it for the future to help us succeed. It’s unfortunate when we figure out that, who we look up decides to do something disappointing. We still keep them around and figure out what their motive on their decision was. Learning from people’s flaws and mistakes helps us achieve our goals, so we won’t make the same mistake.

But as the story goes on he starts to open up bit by bit. He holds idle conversations with Robert and even shares Marijuana with Robert. Where he once was not looking forward to Robert visiting his home because of a stereotype he had gained from a movie he had watched, by the end he was completely different. As in different I mean he had put aside all of his stereotypes, his own thoughts and emotions and opened up to Robert.

When role models are positive, appropriate, and present, boys grow into constructive adults who contribute to society.” (Gladding & Villalba, 2012: 114). In reference to this quote from the journal “Imitation, Impersonation, and Transformation: Using Male Role Models in Films to Promote Maturity”, with my script I want to present the imaginary friend of Mike as a role model for Zachary because he has to confine to his imagination to deal with the real world and so anyone in the real world that Zachary might look up to, he forces their ideology onto Mike himself as Mike is merely a representation of what Zachary wants to be and so that is why he ends looking at Mike as a role

The word role model has plenty of meanings, but what exactly is a role model? This word is defined by someone who can be looked up whether it is for advice, or just simply who they are as a person. Aeron Moore has had a tough life, but has learned to let the past go and focus on all the positive things in his life such as his family, his friends, and the relationships he has been able to create. Not only is Aeron a transgender, but he was judged by this one factor. This is pretty much telling someone, “If you play football, you cannot be friends”. Many do not realize these two things have different words, but have the exact same many. This shows judging someone because of one aspect of their live. Many do not understand the word transgender, but assume people who define by this are a total disgrace.

A role model is an important asset that can be recognized as a friend or simply an example of how to live one’s life. Danielle, my older cousin, was one of my closest confidants and most respected model within my childhood memories. She was once a studious and driven young women who had a bright future. Sadly, she gradually became misguided by the lies and tyranny of this harsh world. Danielle is no longer a role model for me as her once compassionate heart has turned cold from her hinderance in maturity.

Continually, he blames others for how his life turned out, but one must remember that he chose to go down that path where suffering was sure to follow, and that he could just have easily moved away and made a better life for himself. Also, Catherine brings up the idea of passion and love versus societal expectations and

To begin with, a role model is hardworking. Erin’s dad had to overcome many obstacles in his early life. “He was not from the richest family and had many financial issues. He also had to experience many of his close family members dying. As he grew older, he was able to build himself a career and become

Role models are highly important for us psychologically, helping to guide us through life during our development, to make important decisions that affect the outcome of our lives, and to help us find happiness in later life. In that capacity

Throughout someone’s life they have a role model that they look up to and admire. Whether it be a super hero, a relative, or even a friend, they still look up to that individual. My role model comes in the form of a five foot five man, with short black hair, and a face just like mine. He’s my father and even though he’s no super hero, he’s still definitely the person I look up to the most. Whether it be supporting my dreams, needing someone to talk to, or needing a ride to a date, he’s always there for me. When it comes down to it he’s the person I admire most, my role model, father, mentor, and most importantly my friend.
