Who's Your Role Model?-- a short essays--
Who's Your Role Model?
Most everyone has a role model in their life. They could be a parent, a friend, a teacher, or a sports hero. They could be the D.A.R.E officer who works in your school. He could be someone you read about in a book.
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. Often, it is someone you would like to be like when you get older, or someone who does something you find hard to do.
They might be somebody who performs outstanding volunteer work. They might be a community leader. They might be your mentor. Maybe they are generous and kind. Maybe they performed an extraordinary feat or accomplishment. They might be someone in your neighborhood, or someone in another country.
Typically, a role model is brave, smart, strong, kind, thoughtful and fun. Not that every role model is perfect. Unless it is someone out of a storybook, role models are people who might be outstanding in only one or two areas. Or maybe it is someone who is far less than perfect, but is working to improve himself or herself.
Who is your role model? Tell us. Write a story about that person and send it to us. You can do it in the form of a straight essay, or you can do it in a question and answer format. Every month we'll try to pick a new essay and post it on our site.
My Role Model
By Lisa
My role model is my grandpa. He has a lot to do at his old age (80's). My grandma has Alzheimer's and can no longer talk, walk, or feed herself. My grandpa is still working full time at his dentist office, and he doesn't plan on retiring any time soon.
Both my grandpa and grandma served in World War II (that's how they meet). I don't think anyone could say that that was a pleasant time, and I have a lot of respect for anyone in the military. After the war, he settled and had three kids (including my mom). He now has nine grandchildren.
I always think of how lucky I am that I can go to his house anytime I want. He only lives three blocks away, while other people only get to see their relatives on holidays. No relatives of mine even live out of state.

Super Mommy
My mom is a wonderful parent. She has learned from most of her mistakes and teaches me right and wrong. My mom, like all other people, isn't perfect, but in my eyes, her daughter, she is the one and only SUPER MOMMY. Sometimes I wish I was her and I had everything she has, her looks, sense of humor, stuff, personality, and her strength.
I have a brother and sister that are twins AND another brother + me and my cat. I do have a dad, and he is great but he works all day so it is up to my mom to clean, cook, help us, AND babysit! She is hard at work all day but she is NEVER to tired to play and joke around with her family.
Not one mom in this universe is like her. As Oprah would say she is "an angel". She is giving and grateful. She respects what other people are feeling.
My mom participates in many activities. She runs my school’s Spring Fair, which gave me the courage to host a block party! She cleans 2 doctors' offices, AND works from 9:00 p.m.- 4:00 a.m. Eastern Standards Time!
My mom is SUPER MOMMY, and she plays an important part in MANY peoples lives. I’m glad I was so lucky to have a mom like her. I LOVE her so much not one word could explain! She is my
mom.......... SUPER MOMMY.
