Who is your role model?

My mom. I grew up kinda angry because I was adopted and I had to find out for myself, and I just was angry that my mom wasn’t really my “mom.” I rebelled and tried to be the opposite of everything she was.

As I got older, I realized that my mom was everything I wanted to be. She was stable, she had good finances, she was outgoing, she had a good career, she had a husband, she had a nice house, she had a nice car, she has a good life… etc. List goes on.

My mom is who I look up to because she was there for me, she is my rock. Just recently, I started thinking about my future. I wanted to have a good life like she has. She’s bound to retire in a couple years, and that’s awesome. I look up to her because she faced some adversity in her life, somewhat similar to mine, but she still was successful and made her life the best she could. I want that… I admire that, so I look up to my mom.

My parents, each for their own unique reasons, but suffice to say, my mother is a bad-ass soldier/surgeon, who followed rowdy special operators into the jaws of hell, and not only held the jaws open until everyone was out, but she immediately got to work piecing together what remained of these incredible men, quite literally sewing legs back on , well at least to ensure there was adequate blood flow to wherever it was needed, that would out-last the flight to Germany! Yes my dad is a brilliant and wealthy person, but so is my mother, and my dad has never… NOT ONCE had to do his job while anyone was shooting at him… mom has! So she wins!

I do not have one person in particular to look up to or that I see as a role model... instead, I have always seen everyone close to my life as both, examples of what to do, and what not to do... I also see them as guides for why they did or they did not do certain things... my parents, my brothers, my best and closest friends, relatives, my partners and more

I've always thought that everyone can show us a bit from them and make us realize things about ourselves, a little bit from here and there to make our own way as we see it fit for ourselves

Sort of shit in a way, I don’t really have one.

growing up it was all about escaping poverty and violence.

Then it was being a father and trying to build myself up and improve myself

I had various people I respected or thought you are someone to learn from, however no real role model.

There was at the time not many i could call a role model.

There is one girl who I really respect for what’s she’s done and will do with her life.

She is Vick Hope. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vick_Hope

I’m not sure I have any new role models been so busy with writing I have lived in practically a cave for 2 years - before the pandemic, it would have been the guy I like from work - nicest and smartest person ever and very hard working but poor due to disability.

My piano teacher that I had in grades 3-5. I kept playing piano much longer because of him, before realizing that I liked my other instrument, the viola, much better. He was there for me through the good times and the bad. He wasn't just a piano teacher, he was more of a role model/therapist for me. I talked with him about small things like chords, note reading, practicing, and arpeggios; but also about crushes on girls, puberty, death, justice, growing up, and…um…sex 😂. He used to give me long lectures that really helped me with a lot of my troubles in childhood. When I stopped having lessons with him in fifth grade, I didn't meet him again - until I coincidentally saw him last year at a potluck. The guy is in his seventies now, and he's still as inspiring as he was when I was a kid!

I think my father now that I am older. I knew some older guys when I was younger that worked out at the same gym I did. These guys were the older brother I never had. They shoed me the right way to work out and gave me advice about school, cars and girls. They really had a big impact on my life.

Blackcupcake · Answer

to be honest, no one…
I have learned different things from different people in my life, both from good and bad actions. and I want to have a broader perspective on things, people and life in general instead of just focusing on one person

TallAnon · Answer

I've never looked up to anyone, ironically I'm 6'7, so that's hard anyway, but realistically, I haven't met anyone worthy. People are shit, all of us. Admire a piece of someone, but don't glorify it all.

Linda. She was a bartender at a place my mom would drag me to. While my dear mother would be hooking up with random guys for free drinks, Linda was tough, beautiful and totally in control. Every guy wanted her but she was in charge. Instead of my bio mom who would do anything just to get a guy to pay attention to her despite being one of the prettiest girls in town. Linda convinced me to study and go to school so I could get out of the town I was in.
