I think if asking for a role model while growing up it could automatically be your parents. They are the first persons that you see the moment you open your eyes, and they are the first persons you know the moment you learn many things.
Most of us, not all, learn first from our parents, so I think, it always be noticeable that the role model in your life is your parents but for me, I had no role model while growing up.
My mother had me when she was 22 years old, too early to have a child my mother was not financially stable at that time, and also my father, who was a driver at that time.
Despite my parents did not have stability in finances, I was lucky that I was able to inherit the intelligence from my mother, that I can easily understand the situation.
Yeah, my parents were not my role model but my life was based on the life my parents had when growing up. I put in my mind that as much as possible, my life would be comfortable, and my parents would also experience a comfortable life compared to our life before.
I think it is not important to have a role model but to have a direction in your life based on the environment you have.
