S/O: Role model

I've been thinking about this the past few days, and the Tim Tebow post prompted me to ask.  Do you think you're a good role model?

I've been worrying lately that I often am not acting as Christ-like as I should.  More specifically, I sometimes speak without really thinking, and sometimes it means I say things I shouldn't.  I know as humans we're never going to be perfect, we are always going to err, but this is definitely something I need to work on.

Thoughts?  Struggles?  Advice?

    I am a much better role model than I used to be, I know that, but there is always room for improvement!

    I do alright. I'm not perfect and I think my mouth is my biggest downfall, but it's better than it used to be.

    I think I`m getting better.  In my actions I think I am a good role model in terms of working hard, pushing for your dreams, staying in school, etc.  I certainly have my downfalls though, the biggest one I think being talking down about people when they`re not around - I find it is easy conversation because it`s easy to make fun of people and use it as a joke, and make yourself feel higher up... but in the end I just end up feeling terrible about it afterwards.  It`s one thing I`m really trying to work on.

    When thinking about this I specifically think about my Little Sister with Big Brothers Big Sisters... what would she think about my actions here? Is this what I would advise/recommend her to do in this situation?

    I hope I am.  I don't spend a lot of time with kids/teens except for my 2 nieces and nephew.  I think I am a good role model to them although they are all pretty great kids (no behavior problems) so I don't have to worry too much about trying to be a good role model to them.

    Back in May whenever that whole "the world is going to end" hoopla, I was at work with a few different people. We were watching the news to see if anything happened at all, but I kid you not, around the time of "the end," the power went out for a split second. Once it came back on, we were all considerable freaked out. One of the photographers said, "It's OK, (my name) is still here. If anyone was going to be taken away it would have been her, she's like the canary in the coal mine." (I was so "innocent" that they constantly joked I was raised on a "compound.")

    All joking aside, I hope I'm a decent role model. I'm sure there are things I can improve on though.
