Make a definition of a role model using your own words. Are there people in your life that look to you for direction, leadership, or strength whenever they need it? Who is it, and why is it? Alternatively, do you have a person in your life that has had a significant influence on you or who has had a beneficial impact on your life that you idolize? Who is it, and why is it? Do you think that the decisions made by one person can have an impact on the others in their immediate environment? As to why, or why not?
