...Many people have role models or people they look up to in their life. Whether it be a actress, super hero, sports star, or just someone you admire they inspire you and the decisions you make. For me, that person is my mom she is very beautiful, successful. Ever since I could remember she has been right beside me supporting any dream or goal I was trying to reach. When I am older I hope I could be there for my kids the way she is for me. The first thing I admire is her beauty. No matter if she is dressed casual or professional she always looks clean cut and ready for anything that may come up. She has a beautiful big white smile that can warm up a room. She has very high cheekbones, which many people wish they were born with. Her eyes are a very light brownish green color, just looking into them you can see all the love she has for others. My mom is pretty tall I would say, but not to tall. I am very lucky to of inherited my moms genes. Now my mom isn’t all looks, she also has brains. She got her undergraduate at Cal State Long Beach, and went on to getting her Masters degree at Arizona State University in teaching. She has been teaching at Rhodes Junior High for almost 10 years as a seventh grade science teacher. To this day she still loves every minute of it. She is a very hard worker and makes sure that every lesson she teaches keeps the students interested and learning. She goes over and beyond for her students and does her best to make sure everything is to its full...

...My grandmother had a huge impact on my life. She always encouraged doing everything I thought I wanted to do in life. She would always say be the best that you can be in this life. My grandmother always said that I can do anything if you put your mind to it. She even said that I am a good person and can accomplish better in life. Those words along with other words have stuck with me to this day. It wasn’t a heroic deed that led me to see how she pushed me to my accomplishments. It was the deed of empowerment. That took me along way. I have accomplished a lot of things in my life. I will start with graduating from high school, becoming a licensed cosmetologist, and attempting to graduate from college with long term goal afterwards. My favorite activity or hobby does add meaning to my life. Every since I was little (I can remember being in second grade). I knew I would be a cosmetologist. I began early combing my own hair. Neither my mother nor grandmother could comb hair. I did a better job at a very early age. I then started practicing on my little sister’s hair until it became my job. My grandmothers empowering words started then when she noticed my talent. My talent has turned into my hobby because most people don’t get tired of their hobby that’s something that you enjoy. When I am off from my full-time job with benefits I spend most of the day working at my family salon. I really enjoy what I do and I’m really glad I made the choices in life that I made. I am a very nonchalant...

...is brave, strong, smart, kind, thoughtful, and fun. Your role model doesn't have to be someone who is perfect, unless he or she is out of a story book.Your role model can be anyone from your friends, family, teachers, or even a sports hero. Not everyone has the same role model in life. Everyone has a role model in there life for a reason. My role model is my mother. She is the one person in my life that I can go to for anything, she is a very hard worker, and she always tell me the truth even when it hurts. My mother, who taught me to walk my first steps, who danced and sang with my crazily, and who has always been there for me as my support whenever needed, is my role model and has made an unforgettable impact on my life. My mother is the one person in my life who I can go to for anything, everything good or bad. She always has my back through everything I do in life. She is the one person in my life who has kept me on a straight path to success, because she has always told me that failure isn't an option .If you set your heart and soul out to do something you must succeed in anyway possible I have Iearned from my mother to believe in god, and do my very best at everything I do. She has always told me and my brothers to treat people the way you want to be treated, and never take for granted the talents god has given you, because there are people out there less fortunate. I'm thankful for all the small things my mother has done for me, because its all the small things...

...ROLE MODEL A role model is generally defined as a person who serves as an example of a positive behavior. The term “role model” was introduced by Robert K. Merton who said that individuals compare themselves with "reference groups" full of people who occupy the social role to which the individual aspires. Adults, parents, people in authority, people of influence, celebrities, are often idolized and looked up to by the people around them. Since by definition a role model has to exhibit positive behavior, only some of these people qualify as role models. Others serve as bad examples, which unfortunately can be just as influencing. It is a daunting responsibility to be viewed as a role model. Regardless of how one reaches the stature of being looked up to, the responsibility is the same. Role models are supposed to walk the talk. As Albert Schweitzer said, “example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing.” I remember an advocacy campaign that focused on what we as adults show children. We litter and throw garbage even in areas with signs that say otherwise; and on our way to the mall with our family; we jaywalk as we cross the streets; we violate traffic rules, etc. Not unlike Aesop’s fable “the young thief and his mother”, we once saw a father alternating with his son to get packets of sugar and table napkin in a coffee shop. In a span of about half an hour, they must have made ten trips to the condiments station to fill a bag and...

...someone's life. I'm hoping that it won't just make a difference in my life, but that of a child's life too. This is the reason I choose this career path in becoming a teacher. “What are three rewards and three challenges that you will face as a teacher?” I'll be talking about these challenges and rewards in the next few pages, on how I feel teaching make a major impact on not only my life, but hopefully the lives of thousands of children to come. At the end of the day I'm hoping to be that one teacher that my students will remember forever. What greater gift could I be given than to make a positive impact in a child's life and future? So, with that said let me begin with the rewards! The first one that comes to mind is the achievements of my students, in more detail student discoveries and the exciting new things they will learn through me teaching in my classroom. In doing so, I can show them how to untangle things they are struggling with, challenges they face, or problems that might occur; by showing them a different light. The smile that comes across a child’s face symbolizing that they understand or I've got it! Is one of the best feelings I feel, a teacher could have. This would show to me that I'm doing my job well and I helped a child cover new exciting things! In hopes that they would not be stuck at a lower intellectual development level; not being able to problem solve. I want to see all of my students excel to their fullest potential! That to me would be...

...would have me stepping out of my comfortable safe zone to contemplate textbooks, essays, grades, dreaded exams, and taking on the finical burden of student loans? I always had a vague idea someday, after the kids were grown and I had more free time, I would go back and get the college education I passed up in my youth. Life experiences and the oft times unexpected upheaval it brings, has dramatically brought a different agenda to my motivations and goals. Narrowing down to the strongest point that motivated me to start college is a fairly easy task, it all boils down to the main focus of my life: my family, raising our circumstances and all of our future aspirations. The foremost motivation is by far the largest was the dedication to raising my family. My husband became disabled roughly seven years ago; at that time I was unable to keep our small construction company running. The construction company, our main source of income, was gone and quality of life became vastly different. The struggle to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table for our children was the spur I needed to make the decision to return to college. This became my main motivation. Starting college and seeking out a degree that would provide me the ability to find employment with the ultimate goal of being able to provide a better life for my family. The prospect of a brighter future was appealing. The second motivation is, which is no less important to me, I wanted to show my children that at any age one...

...how I would go about managing my work priorities. • Reflection about how I would go about managing my professional development. 1. What makes a good role model and how would I ensure that I acted as a role model for employees I supervise? A role model is a person who others look up to and admire. A role model provides inspiration and motivation to seek out accomplishments. Role models send messages about their beliefs by what they do and say. Here are some traits of positive role models. A role model is self-assured and happy with who she is. If a role model displays that she has self-esteem, those who look up to her will, too. A role model displays a streak of independence showing she does not need to follow current trends. Role models trust in being themselves. They are proud of who they are, but not cocky. Being human means having to constantly deal with stress and overcome obstacles. A role model sets a good example on how to handle pressure. Athlete role models can handle stress and can come through when the pressure is on. While they may not win every game, when they fail they attempt to learn from their mistakes. Trustworthiness is another quality of a good role model. A role model is honest and doesn't lie. A role model possesses integrity and does the right thing even if no one is looking or he does not receive acknowledgment for his act. A good role model also does what she says. A good role model delivers on her promises and can...

...assignment I will critically reflect and appraise the role of the mentor in professional practice which should enable me to facilitate learning in my practice setting. It will be appended with a critical incident that I feel is relevant, to my present and future practice, utilising a reflective model in the process. The word mentor is of Greek origin, the concept stemmed from Homer’s odyssey, where mentor a wise and trusted friend of Odysseus took on the education of his son Telamachis, in the absence of his friend. Carruthers (1993) gives a further dimension, that “this meant that mentor had to be a father figure, teacher, role model, approachable councillor, trusted advisor, challenger and encourager”. The compact Oxford English Dictionary describe mentor as “an experienced person in an organisation or institution who trains and counsels new employees or students”(www.askoxford.com). Mentoring in pre registration nurse education has become a widely accepted practice since the introduction of project 2000 (Lee, 2006). Most of the literature written in the early 1990’s involved defining the concept and determining the nature of the mentoring role. The lack of agreement regarding the role and functions of mentors was a common feature. Terms such as mentor, preceptor facilitator and supervisor were all used interchangeably creating an overlay of role functions which were not clearly defined (Neary, 2000). Hamilton (1993) describes the role of mentoring as being a way of helping another...

...great-grandmother was ¨…. a wild horse of a woman, so wild she wouldn't marry.(pg 11)¨ but Esperanza's great-grandmother was forced in a relationship by Esperanza's great-grandfather. Esperanza stated in the book ¨ I have inherited her name, but I don't want to inherit her place by the window(pg 11)¨. The reason that Esperanza said that is that after her great-grandfather forced her great-grandmother into having kids is that her grandmother after having kids she looked out the window and looked depress. My opinion of why Esperanza's great-grandmother is on for her role model is that she wants to live her life to her potential and didn't want to have to stop because of a man that made his mind and has declared that Esperanza has to follow what he says without her inside information. This role model is helps create Esperanza personality by showing that she can do what she wants and no person can stop her in her tracks. That is why I pick Esperanza’s great-grandmother as a role model that helped shaped her...

...Dear Lukas Raschilla, In your article, “Athletes are artists, not role models”, you claim that you are bewildered that anyone would view professional athletes as role models. By saying that sports figures are "not" and "shouldn't be expected" to be role models in their actions on and off the playing field is in my opinion giving a free pass for bad behavior. As the saying goes...to those who much has been given, much is expected. You claim, "athletes do not choose to be role models", but I feel anyone who holds a position of notoriety and popularity with the public should shoulder that admiration with dignity. As we know, merely by association in any career, be it sports, education, health care, government, and even religion, does not guarantee that the individuals will be positive role models. Instead, moral obligations need to be nurtured and, when necessary, consequences clearly enforced in incidents of conduct not befitting the role that person represents. It is unrealistic to think there will not be transgressions in the athletic arena as they are all human, but even this can serve as a valuable lesson to young fans. Charles Barkley is correct when he says in the Nike commercial that "parents should be the most important role model for kids" and no one expects a sports figure to replace that position, but it also takes a village to raise good citizens. Everyone that occupies attention in a child's life should realize that their actions will be seen and will affect the...

...Ashlee McGrown IS 101 Education and Social Change November 19, 2012 Final Project: First-Generation College Students First for Everything No two people have the same experiences due to the fact that every person is different, whether it be a difference in background, education, or skin color, something separates everyone. When attending college, you become exposed to to even more differences between everyone. Students come from various backgrounds, including some students being the first in their family to attend college. These particular students are also known as first-generation college students. The hard-work and dedication of these students should not go unnoticed because they struggle differently due to them going into college blind in a sense. They do not know what to expect when going into college because proper guidance is lacked which leaves them at a disadvantage opposed to their counterparts who have family that are experiencing or have experienced the college life. However, a negativity or positivity of a person background does not determine their future, but rather the hardworking ethic and dedication it takes to succeed. “Fischer (2007) reported that black and Hispanic students are more often FGS than their white or Asian counterparts, and they also tend to have lower socioeconomic status backgrounds. Fischer added that the students also experience another disadvantage of being minorities on predominantly white campuses.” (Confronting First-Generation...

...women of how they were supposed to act to what they were supposed to do with their life. It’s always been this idea that women are the “damsel in distress” in desperate need of saving from a certain “prince charming”. Throughout the years those views have altered quite a bit. Not only are they beautiful and elegant, they are now also powerful while possessing the ability to control their future. As I was growing up, Disney movies and certain people in the media molded my judgment on women in both positive and negative ways. The princesses and actresses showed me how women can be the “damsel in distress”, weak and only necessary for preparing food and bearing children; the “heroin”, powerful and independent; the “eye candy”, a distraction or an object purely for the pleasure of men; and naturally the “Lady”, the superior females who have the positive aspects of both the “eye candy” and “the heroin”. When I was a child the only movies I watched were the classic Disney movies. Those princesses were the female role models that I looked up to. They were always so beautiful with great talent. No matter how horrible the environment in which the princesses grew up, they were always humble and kind to anyone and everyone. On the contrary, some people even say that they are naïve or too nice and that they would have gotten taken advantage of easily if girls were like that in the real world. As a young girl I thought no harm in the representation the Hwang 2 princesses made of women. I thought...

...am going to give a talk on “What Does It Take To Be A Good Parent?”. In my speech, I am going to share with you some characteristics of a good parent. According to Oxford Dictionary, parent define as a person who is a father or mother or a person who has a child. Parent also define as to be or act as a mother or father to someone. Another definition of parent is an animal or plant that produces a young animal or plant and also define as something out of which another thing has developed. Good in other hand define in Oxford Dictionary as having the required qualities, of a high standard, possessing or displaying moral virtue, and also that which is morally right. Therefore for me, good parent is someone refer to father or mother who loves their children unconditionally, communicates openly with their children, is involved in their children lives as much as they can be, someone who is there for them when they need someone, some one who teaches good morals and values, someone who shows them right from wrong, strict but not too strict. Parenting is a lifelong journey. As parents, we have an important responsibility. Every parent wants to be a good parent and role model for our children. But to be a good parent is not easy. It is a journey of trial and error, continuous learning and growing together with your child. Parents, Parents should have good moral character, because they are the role models of children. It has been known that children are the reflection of their...
