A role model is someone who we should never feel uncomfortable discussing our problems. She is the person who has the most influence in my life, and she made me a better person. She always loves me for who I am. She is kind-hearted, successful, humble, professional and caring.
Creating a path, providing life lessons, &leading by example are the true qualities of a role model.
Life and mother
I’ve always believed
God places certain people in your life at certain times. I have been blessed
with a great number of influential people throughout my life - from high school
friends who let me be myself to mentors who have helped me make the most of myself.
Throughout, there has been one person who has always been in my life;
My Mother
My Mother
Without her
Without stating her impact & influence on the person I am
and aspire to become, I must say my mother is the only role model I’ve ever had. Often times, for that matter any
youths in disadvantaged,
lack true
role models. Not
to
denigrate these individuals and their contributions in the community, but I was blessed with a
truly one-of-a-kind role model in my own home and my life each and everyday.
Always there
My mother was always
there to make sure her boys
would
grow to become successful
men. As the youngest, I am proud to let her know I whole-heartedly believe she
couldn’t have done a better job. And this is not to say she is the only woman to raise
herself &
her family
out of welfare. However, my mother is the only mother I’ve ever had and has
doubled as the most dedicated and hardworking person I have ever
known.
push
Not only pushed, but
because she encouraged me to make education a priority in my life from a young age. After joining university, I was able to walk across the
stage as a graduate. With my mother watching, eyes watering and gleaming all at
once. Today, I continue setting
goals and prioritizing my life to achieve them, but like prioritizing, one
cannot achieve anything without a great amount of patience. Thankfully, again, I
learned from the best.
Lessons
I, too, missed many
of the lessons and comforts availed to those with fathers, but my mother never
let me think I’d achieve anything without planning. Whether it was how I’d
spend my grass-cutting money on or what I’d do with my after-school time, I did
my best to keep my mother’s practices in mind. Setting priorities, being patient and making a plan. My mother
never said those words precisely, but she put them in practice every single day to serve as my life’s
compass.
love
Creating a path,
providing life lessons, and leading by example are the true qualities of a role
model. We do not all have mothers and fathers. Some of us may even go without
either. Still, as I mentioned earlier, God finds a way to put someone in your life
who may be able to fill this role.
I’m sure a great many of you, like myself, owe your lives to your role models.
