When I was younger and my eldest sister was in high school, and in her earlier years of college, I use to think of her of a role model. I actually recall at one time, in school, being asked to write about someone I considered to be a good example/role model, and I wrote of her. I remember saying that I thought she was a good example because she strained to get good grades, she won Senior Homecoming queen, and had made it to college. Back then, I thought this was enough to qualify someone as a good person. As the years have passed, I've learned its not enough.
Now when I'm asked who I consider to be a role model, she doesn't even cross my mind.
"You've got more damned sinners
than saints as friends.
Your halo's slid and it's choking you."
