Role models and influences

Everybody has some kind of a role model. Some people just look up to their role models, some want to act like them, and some want to look like them, and some want to sound like them. Whether it is someone famous, a close relative, or just a good friend, everyone has a person that influences them in their lives.

Famous celebrities, musicians, actors/actresses, singers, and dancers all influence some people in some way. . Some find that they have the same style in their appearance. Some find that they have a talent, and look up to someone with the same talent at a higher level. For example, a young teenager that has a talent of singing may look up to a famous singer. Celebrities are role models to many others, so they must watch how they influence others. My personal celebrity role models are Michael Jackson and Nick Jonas. They are a great example when it comes to amazing musical talents. They have worked hard to earn the talents they have, which I admire. Because of them, I have become more interested in music, and have tried to develop musical talents. Celebrities are not the only ones who can influence people.

Close relatives may influence people in good and bad ways. If you have an older sibling, parent, or other relatives you look up to, you are likely to make some of the same choices that they have made. You also must be careful about what kind of an influence you make on other relatives, or younger siblings. If you make bad choices, your younger siblings might make some of the same bad choices. It is the same with good choices. If you make good choices, your younger siblings might make some of the same good choices. I look up to my brother, who makes very good choices. He is a very hard worker, and he is very wise. I know I can always look up to him and go to him with any of my situations. He is not only my brother, but my best friend.

Good friends can influence you more than some people realize. They can put pressure on you like no one else can, because you care what they think of you and your choices. They can force you to make certain choices or make certain decisions through peer pressure. This can also result in positive and negative actions and outcomes. If they make good decisions, they can make you want to make good decisions also. If they make bad decisions, through peer pressure, they can make you want to make bad choices also. Friends not only influence your choices, but also your personality and outlook on life. If your friends are optimistic and positive all throughout their life, will be the same way, and have an optimistic personality. If your friends have a negative outlook on life, you will the same way also. I have very good friends who are positive, and I am that way also.

In conclusion, everybody has some kind of a role model. Most affect the choices and decisions you make, but they can also affect your personality and outlook on life. Role models can be famous celebrities, close relatives, and good friends. It is important to decide the qualities that you want to have, then seek a role model with those qualities.
