Personable over Professional

What is a role Model?

A role model is someone who people, in this case residents, to look up to and find the behaviors that will carry you to your goals and stay with you throughout life.

What behaviors describe a successful role model in the area served by your peer educator role?

The behavior that is seen as successful is that your are able to engage with your residents on their level and willing to help any and all people out with problems or issues they may have, while being “professional”.

So what are the differences between those behaviors and your own behavior?

The main behavioral difference between me and they way I am supposed to act is the element of being professional. I’m not saying to throw all composer out the window and degrade your reputation but being able to communicate without having the barrier in front of you.

Now what are some actions you can take to become a better role model for others?

I don’t feel like there is much for me to do to become a better role model, granted how are you supposed to be able to judge what you are pretty sure is the best you can do, but to maintain an image that people can look up to.
