Are you a good Role model

Are you a good role model?

By Naomi

Are you a Good role model? Do you want to be a good role model? Well if you do, then you have come to the right place. I will be covering 3-4 different  ideas in each paragraph. 

First of all if you are a role model I think that being kind would make you a Good role model. Because being kind plays a big role in Being a good role model. Showing kindness and being kind can be really inspirational to little kids. Because if you do something kind then little kids will follow in your footsteps and do something kind as well.

Secondly I think that taking responsibility is also good when you are being a role model. Taking responsibility means when someone is being disrespectful you need to take responsibility. Also have a talk with that person, it doesn’t have to be a harsh talking to. Just let them know that it is not respectful.

Thirdly, Being a good role model means you need to stay positive. If times are tough just be positive and fight through the pain. Keeping a smile on your face means a lot. If you stay positive no matter what it will show little kids that there is always a bright side to everything.

Taking responsibility, being positive and being kind are just a few things that make a good role model. If you have these 3 things then are an amazing role model. If you don’t then don’t worry just try your best and you will get there. Overall I think that being a good role model means having a big heart and being kind to everyone around you. That is What I think makes a good role model.

My version of chapter 3

They Both looked at each other, Anton put on his jacket not because he was cold only because he was scared. They walked back to the house, They went to bed. Suddenly Anton wakes up, He thought he saw someone. Anton saw a person with white hair and saw him playing the clarinet. He was scared, He started to panic.  He ignored it then he saw someone else, with brown hair and he was playing the saxophone. He started to act suspicious, He had a weird feeling that the people were stan's grandfather and father. The next morning Anton told Stan what he saw. A person playing the clarinet with white hair and another person playing the saxophone with brown hair. Stan was curious because the people in Anton’s Dream was the same people as Captain Rickard and Alan Rickard. DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!
