Who is Your Work Role Model?
A role model is a person who inspires you to follow their path. You try to imitate them in-to-out. A role model teaches you about truths, hardships, struggles, and success. Throughout my life, there has always been one person who has impacted me in more than one way. Through his love for family, diligence, and hard work, he has set an example for me to follow, and has proactively shaped me into the individual I am today. The emphasis he places on self-discipline and hard work is what drives me to become a better and improved version of myself. That person is living today, and I am proud to call him father.

By observing his work ethic, I feel determined to study harder, to make sure my assignments are submitted on time, to rise in the morning and head to school, to be the best version of myself, and achieve that much-desired success. I have adopted my father’s work ethic as my own. Through it, I am determined to work harder and give my best...
