My role model isn't a family member or a friend I have known for a long time. Nor a female. He is six foot three and twenty-two years of age, guy . I adore him. He's pretty much amazing!
At first I wasn't sure what to think about him. I met him at my high school. He wasn't a student, but I was. Student aid teacher was his title at my school. He was at one time my student aid teacher, but he had to leave for another job.
After a while I got to know him better. I realized that he was an awesome guy. I also learned that we had a lot in common. When I learned that we had a lot in common it just fueled my interest even more in our friendship.
Dave, the guy I am talking about inspires me to embrace the change I want to see in myself. He is quite a young, man. "Did you ever know that you're my hero? You're everything I wish I could be."That quote from the song "The wind Beneath my wings," explains exactly how I think of him. I am constantly in awe of him.
Now I will decipher the reasons why he's my role model. He is my role model because he has this calm, strength that overflows from him. He is genuinely good person, now that's rare. He is intelligent. Many guys I know don't really care about doing well or academics. In part of his school years he was a nerd and later in life he made it into OSU.
He take on tasks and completes them successfully. He gives great advice. One time I was having a hard time on one of my tests that I was taking. I had to break for lunch and I went over to the other classroom was. That classroom he and a few of my other friends were in. He asked how I was doing on the tests, I said, " Great on two of them and the other is hard because it's confusing." He said, " Just take it slow and don't overthink the questions. They are usually a lot more simple than they seem." I really appreciated his interest and advice in the matter of my test. His advice helped a lot. I am very thankful to him.
I love talking to him. He is really fun to talk to. He has been through some interesting experineces. I love hearing his stories. I could listen to him talk for hours.
He's not self-absorbed. That's a big quality I admire about him. Many people I know are. If I ask them or someone asks them a question about themselves they'll answer it. You could talk to them countless times, but they will only talk about themselves. They won't ask you any questions. It gets annoying very fast when people are like that.
He does not lack in maturity. Guys around my age usually do. They joke about disgusting things all the time. Or joke about things they shouldn't. Sometimes they will joke about a girl in a sexual way, making the girl feel uncomfortable. I hate it when guys do that. It's not funny, period.
I wish I was more like him. He is caring, fun, interesting, nice and has many more other great qualities. He is pursuing his passion in Brewing Beer and in teaching. His dream is to someday have a Brewing school where he teaches how to Brew. I don't think he knows how highly I think of him. I wonder what he would say if I told him all of this?
