Role Model

   People have various Role models in life. In my book The Truth about Forever by Sarah Dessen Macy, the main character is a role model. She does things that make someone want to be just like her. People could look up to her due to her characteristics and actions.
   One reason why i think that Macy is a role model is because she works hard and that shows me that with a little determination and hard work you can succeed."When i'd tell her i was studying, or doing some work for school, she'd exhale so loudly i'd have to hold the phone away from my ear". It's normal to me that she is doing homework on  friday because maybe she wanted to get it over with but she is studying and i'm pretty sure she does not have a test on saturday. I think that she just works hard and wants to do well in school so she studies whenever she can to maintain good grades."So i'd swear that i was going out the next night, and then she'd tell me she loved me, and the i'd hang up and go back to my SAT book, or my ironing, or the paper that wasn't due for another two weeks."i'm pretty sure that most kids don't work on their paper two weeks before its due maybe a week to a week and a half before its due. Macy is just jam packing her self with things to do so that she is never left with nothing to do. To top it off these things aren't like watching television or playing video games they are actual work.
   Another reason why i think Macy is a role model is because she is caring.she cares deeply for her family. For example, she speaks about her father a lot not only because he died but also because she cares. She talks about the memories she holds closest to her heart about him the ones that she treasures the most. She also cares for her sister "you're going to get in trouble.""Caroline."When her sister sneaks through her window during the night she tries to stop her because she doesn't want her to get hurt. When time passes by she starts to worry. All because she cares. How would you like her as a role model?
