"As water reflects the face, so one's life reflects the heart."
Proverbs 27:19
Being a good role model means being a person that others look up to. To me, good role models are kind. They encourage good habits. They take care of themselves. They love their family. They keep good company.
I found an article online that lists the Five Qualities of a Role Model as passion and ability to inspire, a clear set of values, commitment to community, selflessness and acceptance of others, and an ability to overcome obstacles. That's a lot to live up to.
I'm not perfect. I make mistakes. I curse a lot and I lose my patience way too fast. But I try. I just hope that one day, when my sisters and cousins get older, that they can say I was a good role model. You wouldn't let me be any less.
Love, Bubba
