Daddy's Can be a Little Girl's Role Model, Too

Six years ago, a summer afternoon, my dad hugged me and I said “I will be gone for three days, I have a job in Austin, but I promise that I will be back before your birthday. I promise.” Days, weeks, months almost two years passed by and I did not receive any phone call or text message from him. Throughout that time my dad was gone, my mom told me that she was getting the papers ready to divorce my dad. I was noticing that the last three-four years that I was living with both of my parents, their relationship was getting worse. It was not a healthy situation for anyone in the house. What I mean about not being healthy is that my mother and father were damaging one another, emotionally and verbally, which my brothers and I would watch everything. Every day was the same routine, we forgot how it was to have a peaceful home. Around that moment, I honestly never thought divorce was going to be their solution.

During my childhood my mother and father expected me, my brother and two sisters to be respectful, obedient and polite. They set a conservative tone for our house that was not as strict as a boarding school, but there were similarities. Now that is not to say they beat us, or were mean, in fact they loved us very much but the love was shown from a specific distance. We talked, we laughed, but we never talked loudly, and we never laughed too much. I can remember hugging my dad, but it was when I was pretty little. I guess he felt that I was a boy, and as such I had to stand on my own. My only problem was he worked so much I never really learned how to stand on my own as a man. He never taught me how to defend myself. My mom always told me to walk away from a fight, problem is kids don’t view the world as adults, and the kid looking to avoid a fight probably didn’t know how to fight, and that was just too tempting a target to pass up. After we mover to Cerritos it was different, my relationship with my dad changed. He was getting home after work on time, he was around in the evenings and on weekends. I could see he was more relaxed, under less stress than he had been before and it was great! We started doing things together more regularly. We went deep sea fishing 4 or 5 times a year, we went to science fairs, hobby shops and down to the local harbors and checked out sail boats. I was getting to know him, where he came from,

My role model is Alex Wassabi but to start off I am going to talk about what it means to be a role model. A role model is a person you admire. They may inspire you or you may want to be like them. Most role models have a positive influence on you and make you feel something inside.

Who is your role model? My grandfather is the perfect role model, he is caring and respectful and respected by everyone. My grandfather has been a racer all of his life. Ever since he was young

A role model is someone who lights the way you can’t, and inspires people to create their own path. They ignite your truth, and know how to turn that flame into a wildfire. A role model doesn’t have to be famous or a hero because they are your hero. They are your familiar face in a sea of unfamiliar souls.

A role model can vary from a family member to a stranger. In the case of the book Shane, Bob discovers that his role model is a cowboy who had never been seen around town before. Bob is a young boy trying to figure out what role he wants to become as a man. Many believe as young boys the father is always the role model, but sometimes that is not the case. As a parent though there should be no judgment on who the child looks up to because a majority of the time it is just a phase. In the book, Shane Bob looks up to Shane. It is from the role model relationship between Shane and Bob that the reader sees Bob grow.

For the past few years I’ve always received one question frequently, whether it be from a friend, or someone met in passing, the question of “Who is your role model?” has always come up. Everyone has a role model for different reasons, some being inspired by that person's creation and for others it's the success of that person or idea. Primarily for me it's about the morals of that person and how much they can influence a group of people. This is where we arrive to the answer of the question “Who is your role model?”. To put it quite plainly my role model is Dave Grohl. Dave is the lead singer of the Foo Fighters. While managing his career, he also manages to be a good Father for his daughter, and keep his morals straight. This means he isn't

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.

Everyone has a role model in their life even if they might not realize it. Take a second and think about it; who’s your role model?...My role model is my sister Kaylee. Kaylee has always given me great advice on pretty much everything. She is always giving me advice for high school, sports, and even just life in general. I don't think of a role model as someone who does perfect in school or is really rich or very skilled in sports. If I did, I would end up living a boring, lonely life with some job that I don't even enjoy. I think of a role model as someone you want to take after or live a life the same way they did. That's exactly why I chose my sister Kaylee as my role model. Kaylee has always done things that she thought could be the best

A role model is defined as a person whose values, beliefs, and actions influence a younger person to act in a similar way. I would call you a role model, but you are so much more than that. You, Aunt Kris, are the biggest female influence in my life. I could make a list of all the ways you have helped me and what you have taught me. Instead, I ask you to settle with this brief letter.

Growing up in a home with both my parents, I was fortunate to be able to spend a lot of quality time with my father. We used to go out together and play soccer, baseball, and ride bikes. I remember we used to play a lot of old school video games and my mother would get pretty upset at the hours we spent playing and not doing anything productive. In my point of view, our relationship was perfect; our bond was strong like any father and son. I was only four years old when my world was turned upside down. My life changed the day that my mom and my dad separated, I felt alone. The process of a divorce was too much for a child that age to handle; it was a hard time for me. Although I had no father figure for about 12 years because my dad moved

Who's a good role model though? Well there's many things good, well, great role model can do. It's someone who you look up to, that person, could be anyone. Some of the traits good role models have is who's brave, strong, works hard, helps people out, there's a ton of things. (Price-Mitchell)

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

From the moment babies are able to walk they are influenced by older people in the world. Kids look up to people because there hair, sport ablitity,clothes,people skills. Having a good postive role model in children and young adults to being a parent. Stephen curry is my role model because he is a outstanding althlete , an sublime teammate, and is a high awarded basketball player.

Role models are particularly important for young children, and are a key factor in theirbehaviour and the development of their identity (Aacap, 2017). Children may have several role models who they admire and aspire to become, it is the actions of these role models that have an impact upon how children think and behave. Although not all role models are good, those that are can have a positive impact on children by encouraging them to have greater self-esteem. They also encourage children to strive for and achieve goals and help them to gain good work habits to have a successful career in the future. (Livestrong, 2017). According to Silver (Livestrong, 2017) all of these positive aspects can be achieved by ensuring children have role models who have morals, confidence, are hardworking, respectful, optimistic and creative.
