A role model serves as a guiding light, providing inspiration, motivation, and valuable insights into the profession one has chosen. Having a role model can help you navigate the complexities of your career, make informed decisions, and set meaningful goals. A role model can also serve as a source of encouragement during tough times, reminding you of your potential and pushing you to strive for excellence.
