Who has been a role model for you, and why are you grateful for them?

Role models don’t always realize the influence they have. Sometimes they lead through words and guidance; other times through quiet consistency, integrity, or the way they handle adversity. A role model can shape how you see yourself and what you believe is possible — often without trying to.

This prompt invites you to reflect on someone whose example left a lasting impression on you. Consider what qualities they embodied, how their actions influenced your choices, and why their presence in your life mattered. Gratitude for a role model is often gratitude for the standards they helped you set for yourself — and the person you’ve grown into as a result.
