I've noticed that I have high expectations and standards when it comes to people in my life and the role they play. Over the weekend I had someone tell me that they aren't perfect and it made me realize that I've had so many people mess up in my life and do wrong towards me that I search for perfection. I need to realize that no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes. I'm not perfect and I make mistakes too.
Role Model(s): My mother and Step father
How does this person fit your definition of a role model?
My mother and step father are both my role models. I know it sounds typical for a person to have their parents as role models but I have a good reason. They fit my definitions of a role model as parents because they do and would do anything for my siblings and I no matter what.
Why do you look up to him?her and want to emulate him/her?
I look up to my mother because she went from being with a person that didn't know how to love or appreciate her to a single parent who not only just took care of my older sister and I but also 6 of my older cousins. I also look up to my step father because he came into my family with no knowledge of how to raise a family but quickly caught on. He not only joined our family but he added my younger sister to the family. Even though my older sister and I gave him a hard time he still took care of us as if we were his own.
If you already have acquired the characteristics that you admire, how have you done so and how are they manifesting themselves in your life?
I have acquired the characteristics of being generous, caring, and loving by my parents raising me to believe that that's how people should be and being a good person is important. These characteristics manifest in my life by my actions of kindness, how I react in situations and how I treat people in my life.
