Being a Role Model

I want to make sure that I am a good role model for the people around me.

I have been thinking a lot lately about who I want to be. One thing that I want to be is a role model for people.

I have noticed that young children are always watching people who are older than them. And I do mean ALWAYS. With that being said, I want to make sure that I am a good example for these kids. Yes, you may not know who is watching and when, but that just means that you have to be on you’re A game at all times. If you act one way when you think no one will be watching you, then you could miss an opportunity to speak to someone. Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t think that you need to go around and act fake because that will not help anyone at any time.

I know that I did say that young children are the ones that are watching you, but it is not just limited to them. There will always be several different people of different ages watching to see what you may do. With that being said, you need to always been the good example that people need to see.

I like to think about the fact that I have helped several people in the past. I have two lovely girls that I babysit sometimes who I care about so much that I want to make sure that I am the best example that I can be for them. Maybe one day, they too will be examples for young girls who want to learn from them. I would not want to do anything to mess up the example I can be. I know that I am now in college, and it can be easy to get swept up into the party scene or stray from my faith in God, but I want to keep a classy persona and let people know that I am a strong believer in God. To me, I love the idea of being different and a positive example for people. Let them see the difference in me.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
