When we decide what kind of person we want to be, it is important to surround ourselves with people who are better than us. The Bible talks about role models and the importance of having them; it talks about the first role models in our lives - our parents. Role models show us how to handle strengths, gifts, and even weaknesses; they teach us how to live out the most important calling in our life - to be a Saint! The greatest role model that ever existed was Jesus! It is important to surround ourselves with Jesus, to learn about Jesus, see how Jesus acted and reacted, and become like that. God the Father and Mother Mary taught Jesus and they were His role models; they can be ours too.

Our words and actions are also constantly influencing others. Here’s how we can be the best role models to others:

1. Be Aware of Ourselves
2. Be Positive
3. Be Humble
4. Be Empathetic
5. Be a Person of Integrity
6. Be like Jesus
