To me a role model is someone in my life that has influenced me in a positive way. They help shape the way I am in the present and what I will be in the future. They are someone that I can look to for advice in a hard situation and know that they will give me words of wisdom. They will never judge me on my past but only look to help because they really do care about me. Someone who I never feel awkward talking to about my problems because I know that it will not change their opinion of me and they will not reveal any information about me to anyone. A role model should be sincere and not out for their own good but the good of others. I think that they should be older then I am because they need to have more experience than I do and need to have a deeper insight. It would be pointless to have a role model who knows less than me. There are so many people in my life that have influenced me but there is only one that I can say is truly a role model and that is my grandma Angie. I know I don’t always act like it and show it, but I appreciate you and everything you’ve done for me. When I was asked who was my role model you were the first person to come to mind. You’re always there for me whether it’s a problem with my parents or a problem with my hair. I am so thankful to have such a wonderful grandmother like you. If it wasn’t for you coming and getting me from foster care, I’d probably still be there. I am so thankful for you taking me into your home, as if I was your own daughter. Not only taking me in but raising me as if I was your own. Thank you for being there for me when nobody else was. You’ll never know how much I appreciate everything you do for me. If it wasn’t for you and everything you’ve done, I wouldn’t be the person I am today.
Love your granddaughter,
