Role models are the people that we look up to as children, our heroes, our shining star of hope that we can only one day hope to be exactly like they are. Even now I can still remember back when I was a child and watched TV hoping to be like Batman. Everyone has one, I remember back in the day my father would always tell me about how he looked up to Neil Armstrong. But now that I am older and more wizened I can look over the people that I once admired, and I can realize that things like heroes, always have their faults. We always learn these things the hardest ways, I realized I could not become like the hero I admired when I was bullied in school. Since that day I had told myself to never believe in a hero again. But when it comes down to it, all people are flawed, and no matter how hard we try, we cannot correct those flaws. I never became that strong willed person for the sake of justice, I became a coward who hides his emotions deep inside, pretending to be someone he's not just so people wont worry, and that's who I am. I learned to deal with it, just so I could give someone out there, even if it's fake, something to believe in.
