College Admissions Essay: Everyone As A Role Model

A person’s personality is like clay; it can be shaped and reshaped based on who and what they allow to shape it. In youthhood, a person tends to develops a basis for who they will be, so it is important that we are especially cautious during this time and only let the best people and things shape us. Moreover, I learned the values of charity, compassion, helpfulness, honesty, hard work, dedication, patience, loyalty, and fairness from the people that shaped me.

I would have to say my role model would be Carrie Underwood. Carrie Underwood cares about the world and the people in it.

Growing up I had a role model. He is the most inspirational person I have ever had the chance of meeting. He took care of me when I was sick or when my parents would have to work late into the night, and honestly I am proud to say that this inspirational person is my older brother, Trey Hampton. Not only has my brother been there for me through thick and thin he even managed to introduced me to one of my greatest passions.

Many people have a person that they look up to and who encourages them. It's someone who I think doesn't give up and gets back up when they fall down, who has an impact to other people around them and they work for what they have earned. A person that is a role model to me is a man named Kobe Bryant. He is a basketball player that accomplished many things in his career. He was also born on August 23, 1978 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Biography Today 44). He is someone who overtime has shown persistence and courage throughout his career in basketball. Kobe Bryant was a role model and inspiring basketball player that had a great legacy in the NBA.

Role models are individuals that set upon a good example. You went above that, threw your own life in a ditch just to save those who cannot possibly think twice of what they do. The unthinking ways of a teenager can lead to a torn family, or an illegal issue. If only we payed more attention to the ones who stand so much taller than us. We could learn to stand just as tall, or even taller.

My role model would be Ethen Polson because he wasn’t that type of guy that was always talking to other teacher and not giving any of the kids’ attention, he was always watching for kids that needed help. I would love to be like that. Ethen was always looking for ways to improve his tumbling abilities. He still is, he did a backflip every day for a year and he completed it.

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

There’s one famous person that comes to mind who represents myself as a good role model and that person is Jim Carrey. He played in one movie, which is called Liar Liar, and to this day the movie has always held a strong meaning to me. The movies he has played in has always brought me joy and laughter. Jim has throughout the years stood up for many causes and is an avid supporter of charities. These are the reasons why I look up to Jim Carrey as a role model.

When someone says “role model” who do you think of? For me personally it would have to be someone who has gotten through struggles and gotten to where they are through hard work not just having everything handed to them. A role model in my life would also have to be someone who is a positive influence on me whether he/ she is on or off the field, court or rink. After what I had just said in the sentence before my role model would probably be an athlete considering that I love all sports and hope to play in college and maybe even beyond that. My role model and someone I aspire to be like would be Isaiah Thomas. Especially after the playoff run Isaiah has led the Boston Celtics through right now.

Since I was young I have always looked up to my dad. The reason why my dad is my role model is because he has always helped me stay on the right path and still does. My dad is strong, independent, determined, motivated, and so much more. Those are the qualities I want. Some I have, some I don’t, but I’m working on it.

My father has taught me to be a man, to be honest, to hunt, to work hard, and to treat others the way I want to be treated. My mother has been there for me in more ways than I could ever list. Some that standout are teaching me to be loving and caring, to know the Lord, to know right from wrong, to go after what I want in life, to clean, to balance a checkbook, and to be the best I can be at whatever I do. I had a couple of teachers in high school which helped me through some tough times in my learning. I struggled in school because I have a reading deficiency and I’m not a very good reader still to this day. One of those teachers was Ms. Carolyn who was possibly the greatest Algebra teacher in existence! I say that with the utmost sincerity. She made math learnable and fun. Another was Ms. Shawna who helped me pass the state English II test so that I could graduate high school. I had taken the test 4 times previously and not been able to pass it and I was a senior and only had one more time to take it. Lots of teachers had tried to help those of us who couldn’t pass it but had not had much luck with me. Ms. Shawna took the time out of her already busy schedule and tutored me one on one for several weeks and on the fifth try I finally passed it. I will always be grateful to her for showing me the material in a different way so I could understand it. I guess you could say she taught me patience. There have been others through my 20 years on earth thus far who have made lasting impressions on me which I know have made me a better person for having known them. I still have a lot to learn and know that I will make more mistakes along the way, because life is a learning experience, but I will use them as building blocks to better myself in the long

When I was growing up all I had was an education, I had no friends, activities, or even family to look to for support, strength, or a role model. I only had myself, my soul, and my mind, a body to work, a soul to express, and a mind to what? I didn’t know and with no one around me to ask I began to realize, around forth grade during school, minds are meant to be grown. A person’s mentality and intellect are traits not from my religious deity but in turn from education and progression in studies from our school systems taught by qualified educators. This thought sparked me to start realizing what my mind can acquire in literature, so I began reading in my abundant time expanding my previous vocabulary exponentially. In fifth grade I achieved

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

A role model is someone who has a significant impact in your life. When people are asked who’s their role model, of the answers would say a celebrity or an athlete, but for me the answer is my mother. There are so many great qualities about her that motivates me to be a better person. For the past seventeen years of my life, she has been there for me in every way I can possibly think of. She’s my inspiration and motivation I look for when I need it. In the future, I want to be able to be there for her just like all those times she was there for me. She has so many great characteristics I’ve personally witnessed that has shaped me into the best version of myself.
