Role Models

My role model would have to be my uncle Scott. It’s really weird though. For most be he would be the opposite. Like he has been married and divorced like 3 times. Has never really upheld a job. Has been to prison three times. Has struggled most of his life with drugs and depression and many other things. But out of all that he has been though he still keeps trying at life and has the best advice I think and good morals and values. So I guess the reason why he has been my role model would be because he has done everything that I would never want to do. So I have always looked at his life and the mistakes he has made and always thought twice before doing something or making a decession. So for me he has been a good role model and a bad one. Like he has done bad things in his life but that has helped me to relize what not to do in life or what to do.

I think that there are good and bad role models in life. But it is all in how you look at things. Like you can either use them to learn from or do the same stupid stuff that they did wrong in life. What I think makes a good role model to some others they might think I am crazy. I just think life and role models are all in what u do and learn in life.

For the next question “ Is someone that is famous automatically a role model”. I would have to say no to that question. Because there are tons of famous people that do drugs or get into trouble and other stupid crap. I don’t think that anyone is forced to be a good or bad role model that is completely up to them as a person. I mean there might be peer pressure involved that may make them feel that they have to be. But in my experiences no one can tell u what to do or how to live your life that is all up to you.
