Hannibal Choose A Role Model
If I could choose a role model it would be Hannibal Smith from the A-Team. To begin, Hannibal will always be there for the A-Team. Whether is into a huge firefight, or escaping high-security prisons, Hannibal will be there to save the day. I look up to his leadership, and his care for the A-Team. Secondly, Hannibal Smith knows how to put together a plan, and execute it (he loves it when a plan comes together). The A-Team consists of 4 members, and together with Smith creating the plan they are a force to be reckoned. Smith has improvised tons of plans that saved the whole team, and without him, the A-Team couldn’t exist. And finally, Hannibal experience in the US military. Hannibal Smith served in the Vietnam War, and received countless medals

    As a young leader, I had a rudimentary understanding of character. MSG Vargas took character to a completely new level. She emulated every Army Value, in every decision and order she executed. She had unwavering loyalty to the unit, loyalty that was so strong it was contagious. She consistently demonstrated faith in her unit and subordinates in every decision she took part in. MSG Vargas consistently tasked her platoon sergeants with ever challenging missions, with faith in her subordinates to complete the mission. She would take any and every situation or task, turn it into a learning opportunity, and serve it up to the unit on a silver platter.…

    I believe you assigned this book for us to read because it is a clear representation of what it means and takes to be a great officer in the United States Army. It has taught me a lot of positive and negative attributes of leadership. Sam Damon represents everything that an officer should be, and Courtney Massengale represents everything that you hope your superiors are not. After reading this book I can ask myself, when encountered with a difficult problem, "What would Sam Damon do?" This book has taught me several very important lessons about leadership.…

    Upon hearing that this topic was about heroes, my mind became flooded with ideas and concepts. Family members, historical figures and celebrities had all come to mind. However, this person was the first name that came to mind. This man, depending on your prospective, is either a hero or a villain. To many, he and his qualities are basically the definition of a hero. He has a no-quit attitude, a passion, and a fire in his heart. He has the heart and soul of a true warrior and champion. He has never run, he has fought through the down times, the lows, to achieve greatness, and reach those highs, those great moments. This man is a rare find in this world, nobody will ever be like him. He has a killer instinct, or “Mamba Mentality”, and that is…

    My Grandfather, George Washington, and Mark Messier are all outstanding leaders. They all put others before themselves and looked at the greater picture in all cases. They all knew that for the life they wanted they would have to work with others and sometimes do things they did not want to do. In addition to this, all these people worked hard, and that is a major quality in being a great leader. Sitting back and relaxing, was not going to be enough. They had to bust their butts to get where they are and be the people they wanted to be. If my grandfather did not work as hard as he did, he would still be living in a little shack, where the bathroom was actually in the kitchen. If George Washington did work like he did, this country wouldn’t be where it is today, and if Mark Messier did not work in practices and games, his skill would have needed got where it need to be. Lastly, these three people all led by example. They did and showed what had to be done, so their followers would want to be just like them. There are so many other words that could be used to describe these people for example, inspiring, honest, confident, committed, and creative, but hardworking, leading by example and putting others in front of themselves, stood out to me as great ones, that each of these people highlighted traits…

    Of all the characters that I’ve “met” through books and movies, two stand out as people that I most want to emulate. They are Attacus Finch from To Kill A Mockingbird and Dr. Archibald “Moonlight” Graham from Field of Dreams. They appeal to me because they embody what I strive to be. They are influential people in small towns who have a direct positive effect on those around them. I, too, plan to live in a small town after graduating from college, and that positive effect is something I must give in order to be satisfied with my life.…

    What makes a good role model? A role model can take on many shapes and forms. They can be someone that people look up to or even someone that a person strives to be. I think of my role models in almost everything that I do. I always ask myself, "what would my role model do?" It almost always steers me in the right direction. Most role models effect people in a positive way by something they do or something that they say. I've noticed that when most people talk about their role models they talk about prominent figures in history or our society such as Abrahams Lincoln or rosa parks. Both of my role models lead by example and that is what I admire most about them. One of my role models is not a prominent figure like those, but has still influenced me in a similar way that those people influenced others. It is not about how famous or prominent the role model…

    A fictional character that directly influenced me was Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray. Dorian taught me to never let the influence of others deflate who I am as a person. Dorian's trusting disposition was his true downfall. His looks only mattered to him once he had been fooled into valuing them. He taught me to never lose sight of who I am, or who I intend to be. The character Dorian Gray also taught me wisdom. I learned to determine who my real allies are before I allow the synthetic ones to betray me. Dorian's naïve attitude sealed his fate. From him I learned that trust should be the fore runner in all of my relationships. Dorian's countless transgressions and iniquities taught me to always concern myself with the preservation of my own integrity. Dorian's tragic tale forced me to create a code of ethics for myself out of fear that I could one day become the mishap that he became. In life, we must all slay our “dragons”. The most important part of slaying our “dragons” is the way that we do it. We must do this in a way that does not compromise who we are as human beings. Dorian allowed his self to be transformed into his own dragon, which eventually led to him slaying his self. In summation, Oscar Wilde's fictional character Dorian Gray from the book The Picture of Dorian Gray had a largely direct influence on me. Dorian Gray taught me to treat myself like a sentimental keepsake. He taught me to never allow the influence of others to taint my integrity and to trust my own moral compass. Dorian Gray made me who I am today, and without him, I shutter at the thought of who I would have been.…
