Question: Who is your role model?

(You will have to excuse the small number of entries here, many of the blogs were especially personal today.)

Jessica Sainz – Habitat

My role models would definitely have to be my parents. They always try to push me in the right direction and fully support any decisions that I make. Whenever i need them they are always there for me no matter what is going on. They will always help me and they both work hard to support our family. They will always love me unconditionally and never stop caring.

I cannot single out any one individual as my role model. Between my family and my friends and EVERYTHING about this Bonner Program has inspired me. Last night we did a really intense ice breaker and everyone ended up crying but we all felt so close. We love each other! All of these people mean so much to me and I cannot help it to feel so amazed by how blessed I am!

Today I was like the living dead during the morning but by the time I got to El Centro and was with all of the kids it was like a got a full nights rest! These kids are so wonderful and I plan on still being there for them all even when the program ends. They are so wonderful and everyday you learn something new from them!

I would also love to stay close with all of the Bonners! Everyone, from staff and fellows, has been so supportive of me and what I struggle with! I never want to lose touch with any of them and I really hope this wont be the last I get to see of them!

Bonner Love 4 Ever!!! <3

There are many people in my lifetime who have inspired me to do good things and be an overall better person. It may be cliche, but my two biggest role models are my mother and father. They're such great people individually, and together they make the perfect team. I feel so blessed to have them in my life, showing me an example of the type of person I want to be when I'm their age.

Here at TCNJ, I've found a bunch of wonderful people I can emulate. The staff and mentors here are so amazing and I'm insanely grateful for all of them. Some of them are out in the working world and some are only beginning their second year of college, but all of them are great role models. Even my fellow campers are role models to me in some respects! Everyone has such great qualities and are overall great people. I love being here and I've found a great group of people who are amazing influences on me. Bonner love forever!
