I consider my Father as my Role model,Most everyone has a role model in their life. They could be a parent, a friend, a teacher, or a sports hero.He could be someone you read about in a book. people we look up to and will like to emulate in one way or the other.Your role model might be: Someone in your family, for example your mother or father.A popular political figure, A popular social figure like Mother Theresa.A showbiz personality.A businessman like Bill Gates.Someone else who projects an image of what you'd like to become.A role model is hard to define...because it can be different for everyone..Who your role model is depends as much on you as it does on the person you admire... ****So who is your role model? Or do you have more than one?*****

I dont really consider my parents role model, not in any way, because they are not really good people. Though they are not criminals but they are mean, stubborn and proud. And I dont think having these qualities is a good example...

I almost forgot.. The only thing I liked about my father is his being responsible and hardworking.

Same here. My late dad had been my greatest role model when he was alive. Even as I face challenges now and then I would think how he would handle them (as if he was alive). Sometimes I would go on from there. A role model is also one who lives in you. One, not only from whom you listen and copy from but also one who inspires and whom you pluck lots of courage from.

My grandmother and Stan Lee are my role models. My grandmother is a smart and wise woman who knows music and who knows what's what and will tell you so. Stan Lee was the Editor-in-Chief of Marvel Comics for years and created an empire. His comics and stories are still popular to this day. Name one person who doesn't know who "Spider-Man", "The Hulk" and "Iron Man" are?

I don’t have any role model in my life coz I believe that none of us are perfect in every sense. There are people whom I admire, whose courage, attitude, intelligence or hard-working nature are worth emulating…there are instances when I’ve been inspired by so many ordinary people around me who’ve achieved something extraordinary in their mundane life…however, as I’ve said before, they all have their own flaws which I’d like to avoid.

I admit and I honestly can say that I do not look at my father as a role model. I was became matured at the young age of 12 and I decide for myself at that age too. I was widely awake of what is going on with my family that time, my parents especially my father have a wide list of shortcomings and is very juvenile. Oh I admire my mother for being strong though, she had suffered so much in the hands of my father and yet she decided to stay with us, despite of all the problems in the past. Maybe I will do the same as she does, but on the other hand, what she had suffered made me think twice of having a relationship. And that is the reason why at this age, I haven't had a boyfriend or a family of my own. On the other hand, I have a role model before that I really admire, it is not because he is cute, but he is a role model to every student. He is a basketball player but an A student too. I admire him for being successful on both league. He is a good example of the word " He can do the impossible, as long as he wanted".

I got only one role model in my life and it was Me. I believe of what I'm doing and I find it good. I stand in front of everyone with head up high believing in our selves is what makes me believe I am a model. And that's is my role to believe in myself. Self confidence is what they call it and I could say its a model role I have to be.

Role model? Well as a Christian I know so many heroes of faith who deserved to be emulated. They are too many too mention but over and above all them I have Christ as my number one role model. He is is perfect and although I could not be perfect I am striving to be like him day after day.

My friends dad, he started his working life has an electrician(like me) and now he owns his own health and safety firm and is a millionaire, he achieved this despite becoming a parent at 18, married at 18, and he had 4 children by the time he was 26. All his children are a credit to him and have good manners. I think if he can achieve this then with a lot of hard work and belief I believe I can

My role model is definitely my father and mother. My mom finished graduate school while raising us and god let me tell you it was very difficult time. But somehow she managed to get her masters degree while taking us to practice, school, etc. Truly amazing. My father is also my role model because he was born into a large family with not a ton of money and worked his way up the social ladder which i have tremendous respect for.

My parents are my role models. I want to be self dependent, resourceful, and I want to be able to stand up for myself like my mother and I want to be cautious, and well adjusted like my father. So in a way, I am exactly like them both and the exact opposite at the same time.

Growing up surrounded and encamped in the foster system, I did not have role models, rather I had had a lot of bad examples. I remember being eight years old and watching the film about Martin Luther King. While most of my classmates giggled and talked about irrelevant ongoing during the film. I remember saying I want to grow up just like Martin Luther King. Although I am not Black he there was something about him that inspired me into being who I am today. Fair, honest, caring and never giving up.
