How to Choose a Role Model
From WikiHow.com
Role models are important. They help us become the person we want to be and inspire us to make a difference. Choosing wisely means that you are influenced correctly and will help you bet the best person you can be.
Steps:
- Choose someone who has a lot of confidence in themselves and their abilities.
- Consider someone who thinks it is alright to be unique. They should make you feel good about being yourself, and they shouldn’t compare you to others.
- Think about someone who interacts well with others, and someone who is kind and can communicate well with people.
- Look for someone who is living life the way you would like to. If you want to be a famous author, your role model could be someone who has been successful at writing. If you have always wanted to be a nurse, your role model could be someone at your local hospital who is dedicated to their job and someone who you look up to for their achievements.
- Find someone who doesn’t always take credit for what they do.
- Choose a role model who may have done something you find admirable.
Tips:
- Keep in mind that having a role model does not mean you become exactly like that person; remember to retain your individuality.
- A role model should be someone who you want to be like, and someone you admire.
- Believe in yourself, fulfill your potential, be your own role model.
- Your role model doesn’t have to be a real person, or someone who is alive. Maybe you consider Anne Frank to be your role model, or a character from a book. That’s okay, but bear in mind that instead of being able to directly ask your role model for help, then you’ll have to think, “what else would he/she do in my position?”
