LC: To reflect on the qualities a good role model possesses.
Role models set good examples for people and are looked up to and admired by others. They inspire others, who in turn want to be like them. Role models are not always people who are famous. Good role models become better at what they do and connect with others.
Let's take a look at two of our keywords related to role models. Let's collectively think of some synonyms to help us to understand what admire and inspire mean.
