MY ROLE MODEL        by Allison Appleby


A role model to me is someone who has lived their life in a special way or
Done something remarkable.  He is someone worth modeling your life after.
I chose my Uncle John Murphy as my role model because he had a lot of wisdom
About life that he shared with me.  Uncle John had compassion and concern,
Perseverance, and family was the most important part of his life.  These are
Qualities that make him my role model.

Uncle John had compassion and concern because he was always making sure
That everyone was ok.  When I was on vacation in North Carolina, he was always
Concerned if I had enough sunscreen on, so I wouldn’t get burned.  When he found
Out I didn’t, he was mad.  Uncle John was very persistent.  People admired his
Work because he could build a stereo, cabinets, wire a  room,  and even design
Things for his kids.  He didn’t learn to do these things in school, but instead he
Told me you could do anything if you persevere.  He always put family first by
Inviting everyone to his house or on vacation.  He went on vacation every year
With his family.  Basically, he put his family as the center of his life.

In conclusion, Uncle John Murphy is my role model because his life was
Admirable.  The end of his life was the best example of his perseverance, his
Compassion for everyone, even though he was the one that was sick, he continued
To show extreme closeness to his family. I hope to live up to his example as I get
Older.  I think everyone’s role model should be something like my uncle.

Ps        Today would have been my Uncle John’s birthday.

“You were the MODEL of perfection full of wisdom
And perfect in beauty”                                                      Ezekiel 28:12

“And so you became a MODEL to all the believers
In Macedonia and Achaia-your FAITH IN GOD
Has become known everywhere”                                        1 Thessalonians 1:7

“We did this, not because we do not have the right
To such help-but in order to make ourselves
A MODEL for you to follow.”                                              2 Thessalonians 3:9
