Role Model Paper on My Mother

A role model is a person whose behavior, example, or success is or can be emulated by others, especially younger people. Professional athletes

As a child, I never realized the obstacles my family went through and why they wanted me to be the best student at the school. My parents tried their best in sheltering me from the truth but I always knew we were struggling financially. Growing up, I witnessed my parents struggle to find jobs and a stable house

That day when I returned home from school, my mom’s boyfriend called me asking to speak to my grandmother. Typically, Gus would call my grandmother himself if he wanted to speak with her, which was rare. I found out about my mom going to the hospital from my grandmother after that phone call. The doctor told my family that a stroke afflicted her in the middle of the day. My mom confused the date with her birthday, had trouble getting words out and remembering our family member’s names. The nurse had to take her for walks periodically and exercise her legs and arms because they were weak. Seeing my mother in this condition made me appreciate my mother and everything she does for me tremendously. However, I was terrified for my mother’s health.

I went to my living room to ask my mom a question, to see she wasn’t there. I asked my brother “where’s mom?” and he replied with “shes at the hospital, grandpa got burnt.” I would never have expected “grandpa got burnt” to be as severe as it was. I remember my mom coming home around two in the morning. I got up and out of bed to ask some questions. She said “I don’t wanna talk about it right now. Pack some stuff up, we’re going to Waterloo tomorrow.” So I listened and packed up a bag.

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.

My family woke up the next morning at 4:00am to head straight to Walt Disney World. We all put on our matching blue tie-dyed Mickey Mouse shirts and piled in the cars. Once we were all in the cars we were happy, happy, very happy. Then my Papa gets a call. “We are sorry Sir. You’re mom has passed away. She passed away very peacefully.” Though my family was expecting it, this trip suddenly took a sad turn. Everyone in the car started crying.

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.

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.

September 27th 2009. I was on my dad’s weekend and my mom was in the hospital for a weeks. I would visit her every day and sometimes bring her flowers. But on september 27th I woke up and walked into my living room and my dad was sitting on the couch looking sad. I asked what was wrong and then a knock was heard on the door it was my step dad and half brother. My step dad had puffy eyes he was crying. He told me to sit down and my brother came out and sat next to me. My dad looked at us and he spoke up your mother had just passed this morning. I was shocked I was hurt I was scared.I didn’t know if i should cry or run away. I’ve learned that losing someone you love is tough.

I was devastated, how could this have happened? Why my grandfather? Is he okay? All of these thoughts came pounding in and out of my head, and I could not stop them! There I was sobbing in the kitchen looking completely mortified and no one is doing anything! The worst part was that I had to go to school looking like a complete mess! Imagine this a third grader coming into school,with eyes looking like Lake Michigan. People are going to stare, and teachers are going to be worried. What do you think happened, just that

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.

Mom I have been on my Alaskan adventure. This journey has been great and has shaped me into a person I haven't been before. It transformed me into someone that has had great contact with the wild and I have noticed I am part of it. Yes the Alaskan terrain is cruel and it has treated me harshly. I have not seen anything like this, but I like because I explore much more than the wild I explore the beautiful nature that makes the world great. The best exposure to wild I have participated in is hunting in the Alaskan wild with my twenty-two caliber rifle and knife. Even though I do not like killing these animals I have to because their meat and flesh is what is keeping me alive and in motion. This experience has been a major key because without the hunting I have been doing I would not be sending this letter and would be dead.

In 1859 Henry Ward Beecher said, "the mother’s heart is the child’s schoolroom." I believe that statement because of experiences I’ve had with my own mother. I have learned more about life from her than from my 15 years of schooling. Over the last 20 years my mother has taught me many valuable lessons just by being a living example of compassion, thoughtfulness, and generosity. She is an angel that has protected and carried me throughout life.

It was a bone chilling January night; my mom received a call at about 11:15 PM, a call that changed my life forever. My Aunt June was on the other line. She was crying so hard my mother could barely understand her. Through the sobbing my mom finally understood that Brian, my cousin, had been in a horrible accident and she didn’t know how bad it was. My mother jumped out of the bed after she hung up the phone. She screamed up the stairs at my sister and me; it was a nerve shrilling scream. I could hear fear in her voice. My mom was always yelling at us growing up if we forgot to do something. She would even get us out of bed to finish something that wasn’t done completely. This particular

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.
