I. Introduction A: Thesis Statement While celebrities and sports figures are more likely to be role models to children, it is up to the child to decide whether to base their decision on likes and beliefs, or looks.
II. Body paragraph #1- Topic Sentence #1
When it comes to choosing a sports role model, a lot of children are going to choose someone who they can relate to based on the sports they are currently in, or sports they admire.
A: Supporting Evidence
According to a recent study done by the European Physical Education Review (2005), only a small percentage of those high school students chose a sports figure as their role model. But, if a sports figure is chosen as a role model it is because that child is into the same sports that the sports figure is in.
B: Explanation
Kids are going to choose a sports role model based on the sports that they like. As an example, my favorite sport is colorguard, and my role model is my mentor Harley bland. He has been a director for over 10 years, and taught me everything that I know.
C: So What
It can sometimes be difficult to be aware of who a child chooses as their role model, but a parent can keep up to date by talking to their child, and seeing what sports they want to be, or are already involved in.
III. Body paragraph #2- Topic Sentence #2
When it comes to choosing a role model, a lot of girls will turn to magazines to decide. What happens sometimes is that those magazines can send a negative message that you have to be a size 0 and have flawless skin in order to be liked.
A: Supporting Evidence
Based on information from Health Education (2008), there are a ton of magazines that a lot of girls read. Based on these magazines, some girls will look at the females in the magazines and see that they are a perfect size
