When i first saw this topic this morning i felt suprised for two reasons, one i felt like role model again!!🙄🙄but after i washed my face, i realized it was a REVERSE ROLE MODEL, second reason was that i and my junior chatted over night on similar topic and after asking about his education, he told me how he has been following in my footsteps and i was suprised, only to see reverse role model as today's topic....
This junior of mine forcibly made me his school father lolz, he came to me one day and just said senior i like you and your writing too, i was suprised and i said thank you and before i knew it, he started coming to my class pleading with me to teach him how to write like me...
It was so funny that i thought he wasn't serious only to see this guy's examination script when recording scores, before that time i have been summoned and questioned several times of writing for my junior in an examination, i had to submit my note as evidence, the difference was that i use light pen only but he uses both....
After that incident and the one i saw, i decided to go find the boy who has a similar writing to mine, lo and behold, it was him and i told him how did this happen, he said he practiced it and he made perfection in it, with this i had to take him in and to be honest he is the only person who has written for me that no recognizes...
Only he and I can differentiate between the two writing but the teachers and my classmates are incapable, the point of this story was that i didn't know what the boy saw in me that made him want to be close to me till the extent of learning how to write like me, i guessed he loved something about me and he sees me as his ROLE MODEL....
It was when i became closer to him, i got to know how much of myself i saw in him, he was virtually the younger version of me in my earlier days as class captain and time keeper in jss1..
Back then i was very interrogative, determined, committed, strict and respectful, i respect those who treats themselves with respect and i go against those who tries to bully and control me but most importantly i am friendly even to my haters and enemies, i don't keep bad blood...
THE ATTRIBUTES IN ME THAT IS WORTHY OF EMULATION....
On a more serious note, i have about 70 percent attributes that is worthy of emulation by my younger one or others and i am going list some of them, as you know, NOBODY IS PERFECT, that is to say nobody is without flaws...
DETERMINATION...
Ever since i have been a student, i have come to understand that without determination, a lot of things will be left incomplete or undone, especially when the journey gets tough and tougher by the day and you eventually result to quitting..
Quitting isn't an option, but winning and overcoming is a must, also when the journey gets tough, the tough gets going is my favorite motto..
The only way to complete our task to the end is with determination, even when it is getting harder, i learnt this at a very young age and since then whenever i make determination to do or get something, i do my best and work very hard to achieve that goal....
COMMITMENT...
When there is commitment, no task or mission will be left uncompleted or undone because you have to be committed at all times..
Be it my work or the work of an outsider, my commitment to the work is just the same as how i would do mine and i have never gone astray from those principles of mine...
Commitment is the key to achieving something great in life, don't move from pillar to post while you have an unfinished work that needs your expertise..
DEDICATION....
This is one of the attribute i possess, i am always dedicated to a task be it rewarding or for fun, being dedicated matters to me..
I perform all my tasks and assignment with all manner of seriousness and that has made me the man i am today, i don't leave a job undone..
INTEGRITY...
I am someone who doesn't take integrity for granted, i have been taught to differentiate business life from personal life, with integrity comes sticking to your words and plans..
Integrity is all man got to be called a man, a man without integrity is not a man and that is why i keep my integrity intact at all times....
Below are other i attributes i possess to be a role model:
- CONTENTMENT..
- FORGIVING SPIRIT..
- COURAGE..
- TRANSPARENCY..
- GOD FEARING..
The above attributes are what is in me that makes me who i am..
In summary, the attributes that makes me stand out to be a role model is determination, commitment, courageous, God fearing and integrity...
In conclusion, being a role model to someone is not a piece of cake, you have to practice what you teach and for you not to lead them astray, being a role model is a beautiful thing, there is challenges and also a reward for every deed... thank you...
