A role model is someone we admire, someone who is living the way you would like to and someone who you would like to base your life on. Many people aspire to someone who for example may be successful in sport, media or someone that have done something inspirational or even someone they know.
It has been said that having a role model increases not only self-esteem but can help develop positive goals and values. Having a role model can show that goals can be fulfilled.
On interviewing Olivia Breen 14 on role models she said, “I decided who my role model was after we visited Live Science. As I have always been interested in science on listening to a lecture from Dr Ben Goldacre I really aspire to be like him. I was good to see that science can be fun.”
