Role Model

People ask me who is my role model all the time. The answer to that question is that I do not have on. I do not consider anybody my role model. One thing I do, do is look up to people. But the thing is I look up to many people. The only people I try not to look up to I celebrity’s.
I do not have one single role model because I change my mind so one day it could be my mom the next day it could be my dad. So I decided that I am going to have many role models. I know people would consider this not having a role model because you can only really have one role model but I have many role models and they all are special to me for different reasons.
I can tell you one thing about my role models it is that they are not celebrity’s. The reason why I do not chose role models that are celebrity’s is because they are usually unstable and they tend to be popular and then bed unpopular and then become popular. So if you have a popular role model and then all of a sudden they become unpopular you change your role model because they are not in the spot light any more.
I think role models are a good thing because it makes you want to be like that person. I know sometimes for a kid who has nothing having someone to look up to is not a bad thing. I have many role models it is just my personality but that does not mean that it is bad to have one I just cannot make up my mind. I also think that you should choose your role model and you should not choose your role model because that is the one that everyone else is choosing.
