Venessa Shaver: An Example Of A Role Model

Decent Essays
Have you ever known someone who goes the extreme to make sure you’re satisfied? Many people have role models or people they look up to in their life. Whether it be an actress, super hero, sports star, or just someone you admire, they inspire you and the decisions you make. To me a role model is a person who has positively influenced someone in life, and is not a person filled with selfishness and greed. They are people who someone can look up to for advice in a hard situation, and know that they will give those words of wisdom. For me, that person is Venessa Shaver, a woman that I’ve known for awhile now and care about very much. The reason I chose her is because I couldn’t think of anyone more perfect. Venessa is one of the strongest people I know on top of that she’s independent, but cares so much for her children, and she’s always there if I ever need to talk to her.

She’s endlessly willing to pay attention to what I have to say or anybody in general. The sacrifice of her time means everything. When I ever need anything or just someone to talk to she’s my first choice, because she makes me feel like I’m her first priority. Venessa just fascinates me on how much she tries and succeeds to spread happiness to everyone. To conclude, when I heard we were doing an essay on a role model a picture of her immediately came to mind. Venessa is so wonderful and she amazes me every day with something different. I look up to her in multiple ways and will continue too because of her huge amount of courage and kindness. It just astonishes me on how one small women could hold so much love. That is why when I look into the future and see myself being a parent I would want to be just like
