Role Models????

Do role models exist anywhere?  When I was a teenager the Mickey Mouse Club had just spit out there group of Teen "Role Models" and look were they ended up.  Most notably is Britney Spears, but the rest of them I wouldn't exactly call role models either. 

If you look at sports, you got football players running dog fights, and baseball players taking human growth hormone.  The one athlete I would've called a role model has lost that title in my mind.  Lance Armstrong overcame cancer and proved to be the best of his sport numerous times, and then he left his family for Sheryl Crow????   That's a great message for anyone!  Overcome disease, prove to be a success and then leave the people that stood by you when you were down! 

Politicians....Not even going there.

 

I would love to say religious officials, teachers, and parents should be the perfect role model but sadly anyone could pull numerous examples that prove otherwise.

Role models are made, not born.  No one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes.  Anyone you call a role model probably has done, or will do something reprehensible that makes that title null and void.
