Life as a Role Model
“Success isn’t about how much money you make, it’s about the difference you make in people’s lives” –Michelle Obama. I aspire to inspire. Being a role model for my little sister has not only made me stronger, smarter, and wiser, but it has made me more of a woman. Every little girl needs a woman to look up to and to learn from. A role model is someone who can teach and learn. By being a teacher to my little sister, I have not only taught her, I have learned from her. In 2009, my life changed. The most beautiful little girl was born, my little sister, Kara. The things that I have learned and continue to learn from her are endless and she has changed who I am as a person, even more so, a friend.
Growing up ten years older than my little sister, caused me to mature fast. I was the one who she was going to look up to for the rest of her life. Often times I have been responsible for her. I have had to drop her off at piano, get her ready for cheer practice, and take her to church. The list is never ending. When she was born, I became very motherly and acted like a second mom to her. Having her in my life made me want to be a role model to not only children, but people in general. Growing up around a little girl, I had to always watch what I said and did. I knew that everything I would do, she would want to do too. Therefore, I was very hesitant of my words and my actions, not only when I talked around my little
The historical accuracy of Selma's story has been the subject of controversy about the degree to which artistic license should be used in historical fiction.[79][80] The film was criticized by some for the omission of various individuals or groups historically associated with the Selma marches, while others challenged how particular historical figures in the script were represented. Most controversy in the media centered around the film's portrayal of President Johnson and his relationship with King. To people such as LBJ Presidential Library director Mark Updegrove[81] and Joseph A. Califano, Jr., Johnson was seen as a champion of civil rights legislation and a proactive partner of King, and they accused the film of falsely depicting Johnson
• Setting a good example, I aim to be a positive role model as children copy what they see. Children learn values and behaviour from adults.
I love to inspire others and be a positive role model. My older sister is a positive role model in my life. She is a college student attending St. Edward’s University and following her dreams. I strive to be a role model for my younger sister as my older sister was for me. I also want to be a good role model for my peers, my school and my community.
Simon Sinek said’’ A leader’s job is not to do the work for others, it is to help others figure out how to do it themselves, to get things done and to succed beyond what they thought possible. A leader who change the world is someone who not easily give up in their diffculties time, but try to find a solution to get through the challenge. As a result, other people will get inspired of what they’ve done and see them as a role model. One of incredible role model is Michelle Obama who used to be the First Lady in the US. Michelle Obama was born on January 17, 1964, in the south side of Chicago. Michelle’s parents are Fraser and Marian Robinson. Michelle’s brother, Craig and her jumped over the second grade because both of them
The exception to this would be the turnout of my bands DIY concert. Finally reaching my aspiration of being in an independent band and creating a concert to benefit society changed me as I discovered who I really am. Having the support of the music community and learning how to bring my own ideas into life gave me the ability to spread my passion. Holding myself responsible for the past moments I created is something a child cannot do. It altered my mindset to transition into adulthood as I realized I wanted to take on more responsibility and become more educated. University will let me become the adult who is an advocate for using their platform to provide help to
All person only needs is twenty seconds of insane courage to change your life. Three years ago, I was terrified to join the Howell Teen Advisory Board, but after the twenty seconds that I stepped into the room and took a seat my life was destined to change. I am thankful that I took those courageous steps, as they have made me a dedicated advocate, leader, and philanthropist.
To begin, I was my mother’s first born. I am the oldest of the biological siblings and for 5 years I was an only sibling, I was treated much different and knew I could get away with more for these first years. After 13 years, my parents adopting my older sister. I was the oldest sibling for 13 years then I was the middle sibling. I was no longer the “rule setter” and instead had more strict rules due to my older sister’s behavior. She also came from a much different background than me and she helped shape me and open my eyes to how different people can be raised.
Have you ever felt so nervous in your life that your mind ached with anxiety. It was the final race in my seventh grade track season, but little did I know my anxiety became the least of my worries.
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.
Charles Barkley once said, “I am not a role model. I am not paid to be a role model. I am paid to wreak havoc on the basketball court. Parents should be role models. Just because I can dunk a basketball does not mean I should raise your kids.” No adult has a choice as to whether a child looks up to him or her, but parents are responsible for raising their children as best they can. The first role models or leaders in most children’s lives are in fact their parents; although they may not be the best role models, they are often the figures that children first learn from. Even if there was a perfect parent, that should not limit a child from observing other leaders. John Wooden, considerably the most successful basketball coach in NCAA history, led the UCLA Bruins to 10 NCAA championships with an all-time win-loss coaching record 885-203 (UCLA site). A Game Plane for Life: The Power of Mentoring, is a collection Wooden’s anecdotes related to leadership and the applications of those methods to his coaching practices. Observing leaders from the past allowed Wooden to envision clarity in the future; a clarified vision of the future gave Wooden more power in the present. John Wooden was a consistent and prepared leader who fostered a community of trust and knew his values.
The three things that have made the biggest impact on and have influenced my life that shaped me into the person I am today are family background, experiences from my school year, and religious beliefs. Our culture provides a lens through which we view the world and interpret our everyday experiences. In order to know who I am today, I must look at who you’ve been. Many educators around the country are interested in developing a multicultural approach in their teaching. They find themselves in classrooms with 25 children of varying racial and cultural backgrounds, and are looking for ways to connect what they do in the classroom to the cultures represented by their students. Before we can begin to understand others, however, we need to understand ourselves and what we bring to our interactions with others.
I never really thought about where my life was going. I always believed life took me where I wanted to go, I never thought that I was the one who took myself were I wanted to go. Once I entered high school I changed the way I thought. This is why I chose to go to college. I believe that college will give me the keys to unlock the doors of life. This way I can choose for myself where I go instead of someone choosing for me.
A role model is a person who inspires and encourages us to strive for greatness, live to our fullest potential, and see the best in ourselves. A role model is someone we admire and someone we inspire to be like. Most kids of today pick their role models from who they see on TV. Role models are a large part of everyone’s lives. Every person is looking for something different when searching for the best role model for them. But who makes a good model? The celebrities that kids are looking up to are adults that partake in adult and illegal behavior such as partying, drinking, and drugs that lead into violence. Would you consider that a good role model material? Celebrities should not be looked up to as role models.
My character has both opened and closed many doors for me in life. Most of the time you will see that I'm very laid back and relaxed. Independence is one of my key qualities. I never like to bother people with my problems because ultimately they're not always going to be there for you. I roam around in silence; being loud and obnoxious is not something that has ever given me much success in life. I try to conquer a healthy and happy lifestyle, but you know how that usually goes. I am pretty athletic I believe because I have put in so much hard work and dedicated even more time to football throughout my eighteen years of life. My life experiences have given me a rebellious trait. For example, whenever I get yelled at in football by Coach
This explains the beginning of my life all the way to the end of my life. My life from the beginning was very fun as I grew up living with my mom’s friend and my friend. But there were a lot of fights and I was very hyper back then. I have ADHD so back then when I was little; I was very hyper and wouldn't stop moving around the place. I always was annoying back then and never seemed to get my homework done at school.
