How to be a good role model

Image
Hello Jujubears and welcome to another blog post, Today I am going to be giving you guys some tips on how to be a good role model. If you would like to see some more information about being a role model or would just like to see the differences between being a model and a role model, then check out my blog post here- http://jujupage1sblog.blogspot.co.uk/2018/01/being-model-and-role-model-are-two.html . Now, let's get on to the tips: Work out who you are. As I mentioned in my other blog post, a role model showcases the talents of themselves in the hopes to inspire others to be themselves. So in order to do that, you've got to find out who you are. Show others your confidence. Remember, your trying to show others how to be themselves and for that you need to have confidence in yourself so that can radiate on other people too. A good role model can require you to help the people who are perhaps struggling with something. It's important that you also radiate good behavi...

My Asian bear collection!

Hello Jujubears and welcome to another blog post, Today I am going to be showing you my Asian bear collection. All of these bears except 1 are from Comic-con. The one which is not from Comic-con is Totoro. Now, I'm not sure if you're familiar with the movie 'My neighbor Totoro' but it's basically about these two sisters, Satsuke and Mei who move to the countryside and find this strange creature and decide to call it Totoro. This is my favourite anime by studio Ghibli and one that I would definitely recommend. But anyway, my family knew how much I loved it so they decided to get me a plushie of it as a Christmas present. Here is what it looks like. The next is this huge hamster plushie that I got from Comic-con. This is soo cool because it works as a bag and a teddy. I must also add that my sister got me this so many thanks to her! She will get annoyed if I don't mention her! So than you Alice. Here is what it looks like. The next one, all fro...

Picking your own life

Hello everybody and welcome to another blog post, Today, I am going to be talking about picking your own path and route. Recently, I have been to a year 9 options evening for my GCSE's at school. We got this big introduction about how we must keep up good grades to continue the school's success in final exams. However, I think that the most important piece of information was that we must pick the subjects we want and not what our best friend wants. That is what I'm going to talk about today. For example, when I'm older, I want to become a dancer. To do this, I must take certain subjects. Now, if I were to take my friend's choices of subjects that perhaps fit their future job then I probably won't reach my goal. I like to think of this like shoes. E.g. when you're a ballerina, you have to get the right pointe shoes that fit you best in order to be the best ballerina you can be. But if you had on your friend's pointe shoes, then you probably won't da...

Being a model and role model are two separate things

Hello Jujubears and welcome to another blog post, Today I am going to be talking about the differences between models and role models and why we might get the two mixed up. I was recently reading Anne Frank's diary and she brought up how her parents wanted her to be the model child. At first, I thought it made sense but on second glance, I realised that it didn't. For example, we consider models to be figures in photos and magazines like Vogue. All models are doing is promoting something that they don't own. So by saying someone is or has to be a model child, it's implementing that they have to represent something that they don't own ; something that isn't them. To me, this makes sense and answers a lot of difficult questions. When we look at magazines, we look at something someone else has and try to fit it with our own body type. However, because it's not ours, it will never work. But because we associate the word model as someone to look up to, we keep ...

Feminism-my take 🙅

Hello Jujubears and welcome to another blog post, Today I am going to be talking about feminism. Recently, I was watching a bunch of Buzzfeed videos on YouTube about feminism. One of the workers, Devin Lytle, was talking about how she is a feminist. I think that she and another co-worker were talking about how women get paid less than men. Now, I totally agree with the fact that women should be paid the same amount as men because we do state that we live in an equal society and it's not exactly equal when one gender is being paid more than the other for the same job. However, what I disagreed with was that they were saying that women should be paid more than men. Technically, that isn't equal either. Personally, I would ask, "why should women be paid more than men?" and "what makes women better?". I bet that no woman would be able to answer these questions. This is because women aren't better than men nor are men better than women. Why do we have to ha...

Time is precious

Hello Jujubears and welcome to another blog post, Today, I will be talking about time. Yesterday evening, me and my family were talking about this at the table. We were talking about how my mum always cooks even when she is busy. Most people when they are busy order a take away or buy ready-made meals. It shocks me how everyone has the same 24 hours in a day but some manage even when they are busy to cook. Do people cook because they have time or just can be bothered? Nowadays, we have a rich source of information all around us. So we have the power to look up 5 minute meals or even meal prepping. Technically, there is no excuse. So why don't people do it. There's a saying that the people who are bothered and who are dedicated will always find the time to do something. Time is precious so don't waste it, What do you spend most of your time doing? Let me know in the comments below. See you next time, Bye Links: Instagram📷- https://www.instagram.com/jujupage1/ ...
