Throughout life, whether we realize it or not, there are people we look up to. They can be a celebrity, a sports star, a relative, or anyone. We look up to these people because they have the qualities that we wish to possess, or have the success that we wish to aspire to.
In my life, I have always looked up to my father, he's the smartest, hardest working, greatest guy ever. Also, I have come to look up to my high school football coach, he has taught me about working hard and having priorities. One of my greatest role models, especially as a college student, is Myron Rolle, former safety for the Florida State Seminoles. Myron (pictured above) is a great roll model because while being an all-american safety, he also was recognized as a Rhodes Scholar, the highest academic achievement for a college student. Myron's ability to work hard, prioritize, and manage his time is something I really admire as a college student.
Now that college has begun, however, it is time for me to begin to network and make contacts and find new role models and mentors who can help make my college experience much more successful. Right now, I'm looking toward the teachers whose assistance will benefit me the most as I make early course and extra-curricular decisions. Two mentors who I feel would be beneficial for me to have would be Heath, who I know would have answers to any questions I might have, and valuable advice to offer. Also, another person who I would emulate as a mentor would be my Chinese teacher, Cai Ling; she is a caring, articulate, and cultured person who I would feel very comfortable going to for advice.
As I continue in my college career, and further specify my major, I will continue to form new contacts and use new people as mentors. I hope to recognize a professor or TA in the business college as a person who can give me thoughtful, experienced advice on career decisions. I'm fairly unsure of where my career is headed, but I know with the help of a mentor I will be much more successful in my future
In life, we all have role models, we all look up to someone, but in the end, we have to make our own success.

I would have to agree Heath would be a great mentor and I too am trying to make contacts that will benefit me in the long run.
ReplyDeleteThat's very true that mentors can help you but in the end you still have to make your own decissions and your own path in life.
ReplyDeleteI agree that having mentors will help you and others be more successful in their life, and i also like your last line that we make our own success. Also, I like that section on Myron Rolle, great student and athlete.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good quote, "In life, we all have role models, we all look up to someone, but in the end, we have to make our own success. " and if you keep tha ambition you will go far
ReplyDeleteThat is so great you can identify who your role models are and who you want them to be. Having an idea of who and why is great and will just keep you getting closer to your goals and success.
ReplyDeleteGood plan, Ryan. & I love that you used the word 'articulate'. :)
ReplyDeletegrrrreeeaaattt quote ryan! very inspirational!!!!! That's great you really look up to your dad and your football coach!
ReplyDeleteThats awesome you have a great dad to look up to, and you have already found mentors to look up to too.
ReplyDeleteWell stated! It is good that you have so many people to look up to. Knowing that you have to make your own success will take you far. God bless.
ReplyDeleteWow i just put back by that quote it is very true we need those people to aid us but still need to make your own decisions in life...
ReplyDeleteI agree, mentors can help you out a lot, but its still up to you yourself to make your own decisions.
