And if any one would like to know, my role model is Ru Paul, because he (or she) takes no s**t from nobody, and he is so inspiring. He makes my life livable just because I can look at him and think, god look how famous he is, he started off as one of us, and now look at him, he has his own show,and he is a famous Drag Queen. I am honoured that I can look up to him and say, he is my role model.

My mother as well. She brought me up and taught me how to be both independent and strong in what I believe. She cares for her family and enjoys every little thing she does.

My dad. He is a good and hard working man who is usually very patient. He might like everything I do or always agree on things, same with my mom (she isn't always patient and can be harsh, but I think that was just how she was raised. Her parents weren't the best parents. My grandpa was always drunk and even died with a bottle in his hand), but they both love me and help when ever possible. They accept me anyways and encourage me to find things that make me happy.

It may be hard to open up to them at times and sometimes we fight but in the end we are all there for each other and try to work things out. They both have done a lot for me over the years, especially after dealing with health issues and put up a lot from me over the years as well.

Glad to know that even though they might not like everything I do or believe, they will always be there for me and support me.

I have a few actually.
My great aunt (mother's aunt) who was a Franciscan nun and all-around hilarious. She was a missionary and was often traveled to places in Latin America, like Bolivia, Peru, or El Salvador. She loved candy, stuffed animals, and board games, so she was like full-grown kid. She was a chemistry teacher at a Catholic girls' high school, and my mom was her student two years in a row. My mom was nervous when she found out she would be her aunt's student and thought it would be all awkward, but it wasn't at all. She made it loads of fun. She was a rarity; a person who adored science as much as religion. She was very knowledgeable, and whenever I had a question about Spanish or religion or science, she would always help. She started to suffer from Alzheimer's when I was around eight, and she was put in a nursing home about 45 minutes away from where I live soon after. But we visited her frequently until she died when I was 13. I still think about her all the time. She was true to God's word; never judged people based on their lifestyles or appearance. I don't think she would have cared that I was bisexual if I had the chance to tell her. She would have supported me 100%.
Another role model is Avril Lavigne. First off, I adore her music, style, and voice, but there are other things I love about her.She's confident, never regrets anything, and makes fun of herself. Back in the early 2000s, when she'd never be caught dead wearing a dress, and even wore a tux to the Grammy's, some people might have suspected she were a lesbian, but she never cared. She was happy with who she was. Although I was at first a little miffed that she got married at 21, when she was barely into her 20s, later on, I realized that Deryck Whibley was a good choice for her. He's the lead singer of the punk band Sum 41, and I saw some of his interviews, and he seemed like a good guy. Then they got divorced. :'( Fortunately, it was an amicable divorce and Avril and Deryck stayed great friends afterwards. She's not afraid of judgement and does whatever her heart desires, and that's why she's my role model.

My role model is Marilyn Monroe because she was one of the first to introduce bigger women as being sexy and not having to be a size 00 to look good.

My role model is my best friend gothicchibee as you know her Nona as I do.

I just have no issues with her. She's smart, funny, kind, to just about everyone. She's perfect in my eyes. I've known her most of my life, and I can proudly and full heartedly say she is my greatest role model.

I don't have a particular role-model, so I'll give a list and what I want to emulate.
The Dalai Llama: The non-violent, think things through approach. Acceptance of others, even if they have differing beliefs.
Einstein: His belief in always finding new things to be interested in, and learning as much as you possibly could... about everything.
my friend Cole ((Whom none of you know)): This guy is constantly trying to improve himself personally, and succeeding. He knows what he wants, has had a long and stable relationship, and has a plan for his future.
