Who is your role model?

I had an impromptu phone interview yesterday and the reporter asked me about "role models". Who are the role models for today's girls? Good question. 

Role Model - a person who serves as an example, whose behavior is emulated by others.

I think that's a good start on a definition, but when I think of a role model, I think of someone I want to be like in some way. Yes, yes, we need to be more like Jesus - but when we find people in our lives or in the culture that "shine Jesus", then we get a great example of how to be more like Jesus ourselves.

But it got me thinking - who are the good role models in our culture for girls? Who "shines Jesus" out there in a way that makes you want to be like them?

I can't wait to hear your thoughts!

My role model??? My role model is my mom. She reads her bible every day and does a bible study, and she gives cookies to our mission trip. She has lots of friends. No wonder she does! :)

My role model would have to be my friend Joy,she is just that,joy!She never looks down on me because i'm three years younger,but treats me as equal (I like that word,equal.)She finds something to say that's nice.
