Re: The Responsibility of Being a Role Model

nice post Andy.......

although I dont get to call myself a FIRST celebrity(yet )......

I do get to influence younger members of our team..
I'll share what our mentor Dave said too me not to long ago(talking to him about younger students)..
"After your first year,its your job too"..........

I dident really realize what He meant untill a few weeks later at the regional when I had to explain what "Winning" really was,.....Then I remembered something we have on our website......
"Winning" is being rewarded for excellence in design, demonstrating team spirit, gracious professionalism and maturity, and the ability to overcome obstacles. Scoring the most points is a secondary goal. Winning means building partnerships that last..........

this pretty much changed my(and their) outlook...........

So I think..no matter who you are, YOU are a role model to everyone, wether YOU choose to be a good one or not is YOUR decision to make.........

Just remembering that someone is always learning from what you.........

If any of that makes any sense........................
