I looked up to my parents because they were very successful in what they wanted to do. I was lucky; I didn't have to look far for role models.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My parents are good role models because they've worked hard and gave me a happy childhood.
I never set out to be a role model, but I guess parents like it because I am dedicated to school.
When I was young, I was looking for people to look up to - role models I could respect.
My parents are my role models. All they've done for me, they're just major people in my life. They've stood by me and got me where I am today.
My dad is a good role model for me, and then I had a high school coach that really helped me out when I was struggling and made a big difference in my life.
The most important role models should and could be parents and teachers. But that said, once you're a teenager you've probably gotten as much of an example from your parents as you're going to.
My mother is my biggest role model, and she showed me how to do it right. She was very present in our lives and has a great career of her own. Same with my father. So I knew it was possible going in to stay closely connected to my children while also chasing big dreams. And it's given me great perspective.
My mother was a role model.
But I think role models also start in the home with your parents.
I never really thought about being a role model. I started really young, so at 10 years old, I was still very much the person who needed role models. I wasn't really prepared to be one, but it's always something that I've taken very seriously.
