As people go through their journey of life, some tend to follow in the footsteps of role models who inspire them and help shape the way they think.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The reason people have role models is to have someone to look up to. \u00a0But when he or she is growing up they tend to start following actions of people older than them because they see them doing something unique or cool. \u00a0Junior Juan Chavez states \u201cI believe that my role model would probably have to be my brother.\u201d \u00a0When a younger sibling has an older sibling,\u00a0\u00a0he or she\u00a0tends to look up to the older sibling because they do other things that the younger sibling can not do. \u00a0Freshman Yoselin Galeano states, \u201cmy role model is Martin Luther King Jr. even though he is dead, I still admire him for his big change that impacted the life of many.\u201d<\/p>\n

The reasoning behind choosing a role model tends to vary along with the role model choice. \u00a0Sophomore Gavi Klawikowski, explains, \u201cI chose my Grandma because she is an amazing, independent woman, and because I look up to her.\u201d \u00a0For instance when choosing a family member, the reasoning tends to be that as he or she is growing up and spending time with them the young one sees things that they want to be able to do. \u00a0Junior Tyler Hix explains, \u201cI chose Machine Gun Kelly to become my role model not only for his ability to write and perform music. \u00a0But he shows a very specific role of being a leader. \u00a0He is an example of taking the road less traveled because in a sense he is the one who paves the road for the fans of his music.\u201d<\/p>\n

Society has also adopted role models, but with society the role models are changed quite often but not only change it gains many more role models. Hix says \u201cThere are many different people being a role model for society but the overall role model would have to be Theodore Roosevelt. \u00a0The reason I believe that he is society\u2019s role model is not only because he was a president. \u00a0He\u2019s a role model because he gave us our reputation of being imperialists. \u00a0Meaning expansion is greatness. \u00a0If it weren\u2019t for Teddy, we would probably only have fewer states than we have today. \u00a0He showed great charisma and friendship after not running for Presidency after his first term, so he gave his friend Taft a good word on his plan.\u201d \u00a0Society gains its role models because of how they shape the country, or the citizens in the country. \u00a0Chavez explains, \u201cI believe that society\u2019s role model is education. \u00a0Education is what makes the society because it shapes it into what it is today.\u201d<\/p>\n

The reasons people have role models just varies on the personal thoughts of individuals. \u00a0Klawikowski says, \u201cso it gives them a certain \u201chero\u201d or someone to look up to.\u201d \u00a0Personality also is a huge part in people choosing their role models and why they have a role model. \u00a0Chavez explains, \u201cPeople have role models to help them shape their lifestyle and how to get motivation to accomplish their goals.\u201d \u00a0Some people’s reasoning is because that person is in the profession that one wants to be. \u00a0Galeano \u00a0states, \u201cpeople have role models to succeed in life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
