What is a role model to you? A role model means something different to everyone. In my mind a role model is someone that I look up to for advise or has a quality that I myself would like to portray. A guy in my class believes that a role model is someone that you can look up to and someone that you want to be just like. That is why a role model means something different to everyone. I have many people that I look up to for many different reasons. The two main people are, my dad because he is a hard worker and my uncle because of many different reasons. I have many role models and they all have different qualities I would like to portray. That is what a role model is to me.
