What qualifies you on being a great role model? Is it the way you walk, talk, wear your hair, paint your nails, the car you drive, the house you live in, the amount of friends you have, your social media. Well can you tell me?/ What qualifies and individual to be a role model and not just any type of role model a great and exceptional role model one you will be proud to say you look up too and would want others too look up too. One you will let you daughter and son look up too. Well for me there are a few for different reasons. I will elaborate on 3 of the top role models in my life that I truly look up too above and way beyond many others.
Rose M. Willis 'Mimi'
This woman is an exceptional role model to me because of her spirit. She has the kind of spirit that greets you at the door. She is not only my grandmother but my friend. I can always confide in her no matter what she can hear it in my voice when I am sad or hurt and she is always there to comfort me and build me back up. No matter what the situation she really has my back no one in the entire world is like that. She was the first person to put up money for me to go on a school trip to Madrid, Spain when I was 15. And she was the first person I saw when I landed back here in America. When I went to college she paid the $400 deposit for my dorm with no hesitation and told me not to worry about paying her back. When I went away to Job Corp she called daily to check on me and to make sure I was doing well and also when I went to college it was the same way. She never ceases to amaze me. As a child she used to sing 'Order My Steps' and it has now become one of my favorite songs and every time I hear it I remember her standing in front of our church singing like there was no tomorrow. Singing has been a passion for her all of her life and she had dreams of becoming an opera singer but thing didn't pan out the way she wanted them too. But she never let this hinder her or harden her heart. She is a strong woman she had three boys and became a single parent but never once complained she just held her head high and did what any strong woman would and she raised three boys on her own who became good men. If it was one things that showed me how strong she was my uncle died at the young age of 24 and she still held on and is making it. This strong woman has had many downfalls in her life but it never once changed her spirit not once.This strong woman has 2 son's and 7 grandchildren and next year she will be graduating college with a degree in teaching and she has shown me that no matter what age you are you can still reach your goals this strong woman is my role model.
Charlette Perry
This woman is a role model to me because of her style and class. She is the first lady of my church and my cousin but she is an prime example of what women of church should be. She is always there supporting her husband and complimenting him without even saying anything. She sits on stage every Sunday and her presence just amazes me. She's humble always primed and neat, no strand is out of place on her hair and when she talks its refreshing. I met her about 2 years ago and from the first time we met I said that I wanted what she has which is class, style and sophistication. When she walks into a room you have no choice to notice her presence and when she's not there you know it. She has taken me under her wing and is training me into a young woman and teaching me how to act like a young Christian and God fearing woman not like the tomboy I am used to. She prays with me and works with me and is patient with me. She cares for me and wants nothing but for me to succeed. I thank God for sending her into my life cause as a minister in training she is a great teacher and that is why this stylish and classy woman is my role model.
Beyonce G. Knowles-Carter
This woman is my role model because of her smile. She is a beautiful woman the world knows it but what I love the most about her is the beauty that lies on the inside of her and it shows through her smile. I haven't met her yet but the time is coming very soon but one thing I am looking forward to is her smile. Many have said some nasty and negative things about her but that doesn't hinder my admiration for her cause they did the same to Jesus and he was perfect so all they say just goes in one ear and out the other. She has billions of fans who would die to meet her for any kind of reasons but I just want to talk to her and be her friend. I don't want/need anything from her but a simple hello and hug will do just fine. I would love for her to call me her little sister but we all know that's foolery or is it hmm?? But in our conversation I would ask her what made her so humble in the crazy music industry. How does she do it and does she not let the negative comments people say about her affect her and how does she deal with it. Then I would say wanna go swimming??? LOL I don't care about her celebrity stature because its man made but who she is at then end of the show when the curtains are closed who will be standing there can I meet and be close with her. That is a life long dream of mine since I was 6 and she came out with No, No, No. Many have ridiculed me for my infatuation with her and have even said I'm obsessed in which I am not. I just am a very faithful person and when ever I like something I will let everyone know just how much I love it. To me Beyonce has a beauty that will never fade even if I never get a chance to meet her I will still see the beauty of her. She has a God given gift that no one can take away. I love how she supports her husband like a good wife should and how a good mother she is even though we don't know much about her personal life. What we can assume is that she is the best mother Blue can have. Beyonce is a phenomenal and exceptional woman because she has broken barriers that many have tried to break and still remains in her roots. She knows her place and takes it proudly. On stage she may wear certain things that many can find a problem with but she knows its just for entertainment and off stage she keeps it classy never trashy even with all the rumors. I look up to her for her ability to smile even thru the pain that is why she is a role model to me.
I might have some people who can disagree with me but hey this is my blog and it is what I am feeling and just shows that there are people who are worth looking up too if you just look up to them for the right reasons. You can't be a good leader if you don't follow a great leader. This means you have to have someone great to look up too that way you can learn how to lead and be great at it and in due time become greater than them. Thanks for reading be blessed <3
