My Aunt Dorothy and my older cousin, Jeannie, who was close to my brother's age. I still remember that I wanted to be as KIND and SWEET as my Aunt Dorothy, and as CLEVER as my cousin Jeannie who was so good at sewing and all the home arts.

My younger sister. (By 18 months)

She was never afraid of speaking her mind and standing up to our mom.

Two older cousins. We were raised like siblings. We lived a huge portion of our childhood in the same houses(diff apartments).

I remember a woman cop who was the mother of a friend of mine.
She was a woman ahead of her time.

Not really. A roll model is someone you admire and might want to emulate. I don't remember growing up looking at anyone quite like that. I looked at most adults as people I liked, didn't like or was indifferent to. I don't even think roll model was a term when I grew up.

None. It is why the relationship with my family was tumultuous.

My grandparents but they didn’t make the best decisions. 🫤

While it might seem odd to mix a British war hero with a German sportsman, mine were Guy Gibson and Michael Schumacher.

Two imperfect men who did perfect things.

Everyone has more role models than we can count.
Even fictional characters are role models. Everyone we know is a role model.

My dad, and my maternal grandfather.

Not good ones. My mom was rad but also locked in an abused mindset that eventually destroyed her. Aside from that, alone with nature was where I spent most of my time observing and playing.

No I didn't. No one ever held up to my standards for being a role model. ☹
