Making me into a role model is placing too much importance on what I see as a work in progress.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't think it is important to be a role model, because if you are a role model, you are pretending to be someone else.
I can see that I can be a role model.
I think a role model is a mentor - someone you see on a daily basis, and you learn from them.
I don't think of myself as a role model, but I can see that I am.
Every role affords me something different in the way of understanding, and that's really why you take these roles, not to show that thing that people talk about of showing what you can do - that has nothing to do with anything.
It's funny: when people always talk about the importance of role models, I used to think that was so exaggerated, but as I get older, I start to realize I don't feel that way so much anymore. If you see somebody like you who's doing something, an older version of what you are, it does make you feel like it's more possible.
I take being a role model very seriously.
I understand that I'm a role model.
Role models really matter. It's hard to imagine yourself as something you don't see.
Being a role model, you just got to watch what you do.
