It's true what they say about role models. They come into your life when you least expect it, and they change your outlook on things. They teach you how to be an independent individual, and they teach you how to manage yourself. They may be in your life for a moment, or they may be in your life forever; but you look up to them and most of all, you respect them.
When a potential role model enters your life, you don't always know at first. Time progresses and you find yourself truly caring about that person. I have a particular person in mind as I write this and I think she has defined what a role model is to me. She is always available when I need advice. She is dependable, honest, loyal, and extremely hardworking. Although we have separate career paths, she has instilled in me a desire to be the BEST that I can be. She believes in my abilities even though I don't always believe in them myself, and she keeps me on track when I get distracted.
I wrote this post because I have to say good-bye for a brief period of time to this individual, and it has made me realize how much I appreciate the impact she has had on molding the person that I become and the person that I want to be, even though she may not realize that she has.
