I do not have any "true" role models. I take and pick from aspects of society and individuals who I think are doing the right thing, but I do not have anyone I consider a "role model". Having to necessarily pick one, though, is quite easy. There are lots of great athletes out there, plenty of which show off their compassion and hearts off the field, but for me, there is one athlete who i think embodies the perfect idea and mold of a role model: Houston Texans DE/ILB, J.J. Watt.
Being a true athletic freak and die hard competitor, he is one of the most giving and one of the most engaging players in not just football but in all of the NFL. He plays toss with fans before each game, he supports many initiatives and community projects in the Houston area, and when a deadly hurricane struck Houston and almost crippled the city, he led a famous, nation wide campaign to raise funds to help. The goal for the charity drive was to only raise $20,000 - $200,000 but as of this article he has raised almost $40 MILLION for the city. J.J. is one of the most giving people and players in the world and I definitely see him as someone who is a "role model".
