Role Models

Alright, so I am doing my blog on this topic today for several reasons. 1: I don't particularly like the concept of Role Models, those people who we look up to, and in a way hope to emulate one day. I never have really believed in becoming like someone else. I find it quite impossible actually, mainly because, as we are told since we are little kids, we are all different as human beings, and we all have our own unique qualities about us, and yet we want to be something that we can never quite be. I know that might sound a little depressing, but no matter what you do, how close you become to being someone, you can never quite actually be them, you can't even be like them, you will just become a new you. I suppose that is the point that I am trying to make. We should all stop trying to be like someone else, and just try and be the best "me" we can possibly be. With that being said I have to admit that I to have fallen into the concept of having a role model, or someone to look up to. I think it is just Human Nature that we have to do it. so 2: Who is my Role Model? Well, I actually have two. The first is John Green, and, yes, it is probably for the same reasons that everyone else have. I find it extremely awesome to have someone who not only likes to read and write, but likes to talk about reading and writing, and talk about books critically. I am a college freshman right now, and I have to say that I am doing quite well in my English class right now thanks to John. :) The second person is actually a professional wrestler, Shawn Hickenbottom, known around the world as Shawn Michaels. Anyone who has seen the DVD biography on him knows that in the 90's he was battling some very serious drug problems, mainly self inflicted, that left him in a very bad way, but in 2001, he changed. He found religion, got married, and became a new person. I find this kind of transformation, and only a man with extreme strength is able to convert like this. It is something to be proud of/look up too. Thats all I got today. Peace!
